I solved a problem! *giggles evilly*

*rubs hands gleefully*

I have figured out why "Undertow" wasn't gelling. I was telling it from the wrong POV -- it must be told by the icky guy who gets assassinated, not by Sakura. That way I can show instead of tell, and I can avoid the evil flashbacks that kept plaguing the false starts.

Plus, it will amuse me to see how obvious I can make Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto's plan without ever actually letting the victim in on it. I'm quite proud of their plan, since it took me two days to come up with it. Cunning plans are not my strong point as a writer; I'm much more of an interior monologue person.

...

Still, I should probably work on "Apartment Manager" first. *bashes head against stupid dinner party scene, which refuses to let her go on until she fixes it*

I love it when you tell us you're being devious in your writing.

yes, appartment manager first, then the sequel, then the sequel of the sequel, and... (you can guess what's next, can't you?). oh, and the hhr thing too could be good. As long as there is no more saki-chan nor yaoi...shudder :p
Ah well, the problems with authors is that we can't kidnap them... a pity :/

Hey, if you pay me, say, $250 a week, I'm yours! Otherwise, I write whatever percolates up from the back of my brain. :-)

Uh, that was a joke, of course, because payment for fanfiction is Wrong and Bad and Should Not Be Done. No matter how broke I'm going to be in two months. *nods furiously*

Hum, was just going to say that this was a dangerous proposition, for more than one reason (keeping the double entendre out of your words is difficult :p)... But that's good, you figured it on your own. on the other hand, go read hxh, you may love it-there are wekk writtain villains, though they aren't your run out of the mill villains, so i am not sure you'll like them... too realistic, maybe: not enough goal. Oh well, go read it anyway :p
