So much more comfortable than sitting at a desk. I can sit for hours if I'm actually DOING something, writing or whatever, but just reading... can't do it. I can't remember the last time I spent hours at once reading a fanfic. I think if I were to get engrossed in one, I could do it... but that doesn't happen very often anymore.

I know what you mean about the laptop. When I first got mine was actually when I really started getting into fan fiction again. I'd been wanting to (in college, there just wasn't enough time for it), but i hadn't really thought about how important the connection was until you just said it.
I really like being able to write in different settings- even if its just across the room. And, it sounds weird, but having a laptop made me feel like more of a writer.

I totally know what you mean. That was another nice part of having a laptop. I remember sometimes when I was writing Broken, I would try sitting on the floor or in a different room with my laptop to write, and just the change in setting would help get me going again. I miss being able to do that, too.

I did this last years, so I'm going to do it again. :)
1. What was your biggest writing- or fanfic-related accomplishment of 2008 2009?
Writing Mistakes Made ... Lessons Learned. I've just past my one year mark on it and have almost 100 chapters. I'm kind of proud of myself for keeping with it this long.
2. What do you feel was the best piece of writing you did in 2009? It can be a whole story or just a certain chapter or scene. Give us a link or, if it's a really short excerpt (like a paragraph), post it here.
I have to say MMLL, it's the only writing I did in 2009.
3. Which of your own stories are you most proud of, and why? (This doesn't have to be one written in 20082009).
Honestly I don't think I can answer this. I go back and reread stuff in my files and I KNOW i could have done better.
4. Give us a link to one of your own stories that you feel is undiscovered or underappreciat ed, and tell us why you think it's worthy of being read.
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9227 Shimly. I know it's completely corny and chessy, but I still like it.
5. Switching over to praise for other writers, give us a link to someone ELSE'S story that you feel is undiscovered or underappreciat ed. Again, tell us why you think this story is worthy of being read.
I don't know if they are underappreciat ed but I defintly think summer03 and summer are great writers.
6. What was the best story you discovered in 20082009? Provide a link, and tell why you liked it.
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9497&warning=4 summer's Once in a Blue Moon. Truly a great story. She is an amazingly gifted writer, her sense of detail in just incredible.
7. Name an AC author who impressed you this year (with their writing, their updating, whatever it may be LOL), and tell us why.
summer... see comments in #6.
8. Do you have any writing- or fanfic-related resolutions for 20092010? If so, what are they?
To write better and to be more detailed. I wish I could write like summer. I also want to learn how to create the bridges to connect all the ideas for specific stories that are swirling around in my brain.
Add on Question: Has anything changed since the last time you answered this? Why?
Nope.. I still need to learn to write better.

Was summer03 writing a Nick-centered historical romance at some point? It was set in an Austen-esque time period. I couldn't find it on her page, so I'm not sure it she took it down or if I'm thinking of someone else.
