Vacation '09, Day 7 -- back in Ithaca; also, Liz laments her glacial writing pace

I am safely home. My flights went off without a hitch, and I had a very tasty bacon cheeseburger from Fuddruckers for lunch in Detroit. After I landed in Ithaca, I had a half-hour wait until the #31 bus arrived, and then a half-hour ride to the Commons. I stopped by the smoke shop to pick up last week's paycheck. And then, once I got back to my apartment and dropped off my suitcase, I went to the grocery store since I had carefully eaten down the contents of my refrigerator and breadbox before I went to Minnesota.

In other news, back in June, I asked for advice on vegetarian sushi for a Star Trek: AOS fic I was writing. Three months and 6,500 words later, I have finally reached the actual sushi-eating portion of the story.

I don't think I'm even halfway through the fic.

*headdesk*

"The Light in Your Eyes" is a very long one-shot in structure -- unlike some of my other stories, I don't think I can break it apart without losing the thematic unity/harmony/whatever -- and it is frustrating beyond belief to have written this much with no postable result.

...

I really must write faster.

[Fic] "Form and Function" -- Chronicles of Narnia

"Form and Function," in which, yet again, I go meta on Narnia via Susan thinking way too hard about stuff and having a conversation with Edmund that just raises more questions in her mind. *sigh* One of these days, I am going to write a Susan fic that deals with nothing more theologically serious than a date with a pleasant young man. But today is not that day. (575 words)

[ETA: The revised and slightly extended final version is now up here on AO3 and here on ff.net. Probably.]

It's a beautiful day in Ithaca. It's also my first day of work since last Thursday. I feel somewhat disconnected from my job right now -- disconnected from everything, actually, as if I might float away unexpectedly. I get this faux out-of-body feeling now and then, and I am never sure what causes it or how to react.
