(no subject)

What have I been doing instead of translation all week? Editing old fanfic. Yeah, I know, but...it's good practice in editing, right? And it's making much more sympathetic to the "no adverbs!" people, much as I disagree with them, when I see how I've abused them in my old writing.

(Mind, sometimes my edits are putting adverbs in. But that's because "briskly" is occasionally useful, while "really" isn't necessary nine times of ten that I've used it. And I wish this character didn't phrase 80% of his sentences in the same way, because it's hard to give that more variation in quick edits...)

Anyway. For those who want to read such stuff, it's going up here on AO3 as I get stuff edited. This is probably going to end with me writing new fanfic as well, if I'm not careful, but I've got to prioritize other writing. I am not going to let the Fast And Easy writing take over all my time; it doesn't sell.

...my original fic doesn't sell either so far, but it could! It might! I need to submit it more. Anyway. Stuff's there if people want it. Now I need to get back to translating actual dead languages like I'm supposed to.
