Random thoughts on Highlander and writing.

sierraphoenix you are truly inspirational. I really appreciated everyone who contributed to that discussion about Dean's immortality and Sammy with Sarah. I literally wrote the next story in the series in 30 minutes. It was one of those sit up in bed grab the paper and write before its gone moments. I will still have to edit it but wow it was a real Eureka moment. I don't think I ever written anything that fast. I just hope it looks as good in the morning as it felt writing it down.

So, anyone else out there ever have inspiration for a story or artistic work hit so fast it made you head spin. Just curious. What did it feel like for you?

I wouldn't know. If there is, I've probably broken it flagrantly. But no one has called me on it. LOL!

I have about 6 or 7 communities that I regularly contribute to, and depending on the subject of the fic, I may post it so some or all of them.

As far as editing, you're a bit of a perfectionist like me. I didn't use to use a beta, but I've found that no matter how many things I catch, a fresh set of eyes will always pick out something.

Methos/chloe friendship just jumped into my brain. She's such the research/digger geek, and he knows everything. I think he'd find her highly entertaining. (In my mind, Chloe is the daughter-in-spirit to Nellie Bly and Alan Quartermain. Adventurous, prone toward trouble, smart and fast-talking).

I absolutely see Chloe that way.

As for Beta, I know I mention my son alot but he really is good at catching mixed tenses and missing commas. On the other hand I love the back and forth with another writer about a story that can be very insightful.

I think I did actually post my last story to 5 or 6 places because I had Crossovers100 and Highlander and SPN sites. It makes me feel like a published author so I love doing it!
Plus, I have Fanfiction.net and TTH accounts.
