LOL...yes, yes I do. I'm better than I was when I first began w/ the writing. Never good to be in the middle of watching River completely play her role in your plot in your head during rush hour traffic. And such a good thing I started writing well after I started driving!
And comedy is oh so much harder to do than angst. Especially in words alone..I mean on shows, so much of the comedic aspect comes from expressions and delivery. Carrying that off across a page, oh so frigging hard. Which is why I hate wash even if I do manage to write him decently well. Funny, I can understand the written sarcasm, but I so never get it over the phone. In RL, I must see a speaker's face to get sarcasm and then I still have trouble out here on the east coast when I get a completely flat delivery of it. Brian despairs of ever teaching me to recognize it I think:)
And yes, me too on the drunk part. Typing through sinus headaches can do that. And is it really too much to ask for the weather to stay the same? As much as I was asking for sun, from 40 to 60 and back to 40 in a three day period is so not a friend to my sinuses. thank goodness for excedrin.
