Hallo. I'm amazed you've found your way here. :) I am Sarah, once more commonly known as Ozymandius Jones, Tindog, Squirrelgirl, Sophie, or NotAllThoseThatWander. Nowadays, it's mostly Errant Evermore. I suffer from Goldfish Attention Span Syndrome, as well as chronic wanderlust. Fandoms that will be appearing in this account are Leverage, Jericho, Miracles, Life, LOST, Hogan's Heroes, Trigun, Starsky and Hutch, Dr. Who and Psych.

Be warned, though - I write slow, so it prolly won't be soon. I'm not into massive shipping, or much romance. I tend to stick with things that are actually in a show as opposed to wild speculation. However, when it comes to off the wall theories, time travel, superpowers and alternate universes, I'm on it. :D

October 24, 2011: My current project is Shelter from the Storm, a massive fusion universe story about the Leverage, Miracles and Life characters in the Jericho setting. Woo?

And, for my trace of highbrow, some quotes that sum up writing:

I learned that you should feel when writing, not like Lord Byron on a mountain top, but like a child stringing beads in kindergarten - happy, absorbed and quietly putting one bead on after another.

--Brenda Ueland

Oh Lord, let me not be one of those who writes too much;
who spreads himself too thinly with his words,
diluting all the things he has to say,
like butter spread too thinly over toast,
or watered milk in some worn-out hotel;
but let me write the things I have to say,
and then be silent, ’til I need to speak.

Oh Lord, let me not be one of those who writes too little;
a decade-man between each tale, or more,
where every word accrues significance
and dread replaces joy upon the page.
Perfectionists like chasing the horizon;
You kept perfection, gave the rest to us,
so let me earn the wisdom to move on.

But over and above those two mad spectres of parsimony and profligacy,
Lord, let me be brave, and let me, while I craft my tales, be wise:
let me say true things in a voice that is true,
and, with the truth in mind, let me write lies.

--Neil Gaiman

Remember: Plot is no more than footprints left in the snow after your characters have run by on their way to incredible destinations. Plot is observed after the fact rather than before. It cannot precede action. It is the chart that remains when an action is through. That is all Plot ever should be. It is human desire let run, running, and reaching a goal. It cannot be mechanical. It can only be dynamic.

So, stand aside, forget targets, let the characters, your fingers, body, blood, and heart do.

--Ray Bradbury

Don't say the old lady screamed. Bring her on and let her scream.

-- Mark Twain

Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.

-- Anton Chekhov

Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self.
--Cyril Connolly

Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say 'infinitely' when you mean 'very'. Otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.
--C. S. Lewis

Get your facts first, and then you can distort 'em as much as you please.
--Mark Twain

When in doubt, blow something up.
--J. Michael Straczynski
