total GIP

[salixbabylon]

I'm so close to done with EE4 that I can almost taste it. The story is written, they're almost totally undressed, they're kissing, I know who is going to touch who where and how and what they'll say and CHRIST I'm so anti-lusty right now, I just can't even think about writing it.

:P

On the plus side, even though I was a dumbass and got the Beagle virus, it's now cleaned up and gone. And my yahoo email is all nice and tidy. And even though I'm kind of ashamed to admit that I save it, I reread EE1-3 FB and am feeling all inspired to get the rest churned out a lot faster now.

BUt I think my Orli, in his head, in his casual conversation, says 'really' and 'totally' too much and probably sounds either too American or too Californian or too Salixian. I don't even now how much of my speech patterns are 1980s California valley girl and how much are just me. Blech.

Can I move to the UK for a while, please? I'll be nice and won't break anything...

I can so relate to this. Totally where i'm at with the story i'm working on.

Don't worry about the Brit-speak angle. Thus far i haven't noticed any dramatic Americanisms, and bear in mind we have absorbed a certain amount of American slang over here. If you want a Brit-speak beta, just say, and i'll send you my e-mail address, otherwise you could just wait for feedback...

specifically on the really and totally angle, i have to admit i use them both rather a lot and i'm private school-educated and therefore supposedly well-spoken. We probably use 'really' more frequently than 'totally' though.
