I posted this over at my writing journal on LJ but figured it couldn't hurt to do it here too.

The fan_flashworks prompt at the moment is Mythology. I had grand plans to try and come up with a short case-fic thing as a sequel to the American Gods epic I wrote for Yuletide back in 2010. I got the story all outlined, but don't have the time to pull it off. So now I am aiming just to get another drabble out before the deadline (August 20 at 4 PM PST). or maybe a few, if I have time. But I don't have any particular inspiration - so I'm looking for prompots or suggestions. I'm open to all ideas - leave them in the comments and I'll see what all I can come up with :)

I have been working on dissertation stuff, and have been meaning to do another update on that. I'm re-writing and expanding the introduction to chapter five (basically I realized that all the stuff I wanted to say at the beginning of chapter six really needs to go there instead, after that tricksy paragraph I worked out in my last post). It feels like I'm getting bogged down with it though. I may go back to working on tables (I need a book or two from the library anyway) just to feel like I'm getting ahead again.

It is thundering out, so the dogs have been super hyper and are just starting to get worn out. ( The things I have to put up with! )
