Intro and Getting Started...
Name: mnemosyne_1
Fandom(s) you are working on for this fest: Harry Potter
Participation: Writer
The one item from your list that you most want to complete: Harry/Percy sequel
Items with a deadline other than this fest: snupin_santa fic
Most fun item on your list: Harry/Percy
Item you are dreading the most/need the most encouragement on: Snupin Santa – I have the idea and a lot of the plot, but am having a hard time sitting down to write it out.
How do you start a project? I basically come up with an idea and let it percolate for a while – creating scenes and phrases in my head. It takes me a while to actually start writing.
In what conditions do you work best? On my laptop, but disconnected from the distractions of the internet. Usually this means I'm petsitting, or, when I really need to write for a deadline, I'll go to the library.
One thing that always inspires you to create: I don't know that there's any one thing that inspires me. I get ideas and just… write. I tend to write less the more I read, so when I've got deadlines, I try not to read too much fanfiction. During the holiday exchange postings, I rarely write anything because I'm so busy reading.
One general thing you would really like to improve on: I need to stop procrastinating. I have a serious problem with that!
Advice and/or questions regarding the creative process that you have for the other members of the community: … can't think of anything. *g*
A teaser from something you've got at least partially done:
"What are you doing here?" she demanded.
Arthur looked a bit puzzled at the anger in her voice. "Gideon said…"
"This is my place," she said, unhooking the spindle from the spinning wheel. My sanctuary, she didn't say. The one place she was allowed to be alone.
"I didn't know," Arthur said. "Gideon just…"
Arthur sputtered as Molly rose from her seat, planted a hand against his chest and shoved him out of the doorway, slamming the door behind him.
"I'm sorry," Arthur said through the door.
Pulling out her wand, Molly warded the door so she couldn't hear him, then went to the window. Fabian and Gideon looked up from the garden as she leaned out.
"Hey, Molls!" Gideon said, then yelped as she hit him with a Stinging Hex, Jelly-Legs Jinx and featherlight charm in quick succession.
Fabian howled with laughter as Gideon hovered in the air, legs wobbling as he tried to reach the wand tucked into his boot.
"You know better!" she yelled, before returning to her seat.
