Mary Morstan

May I just point out: Mary Morstan is not an Original Female Character created by me. She is Dr. Watson's canonical first wife.

I know you're not related to the other fandom Claire, but I keep imagining you're a cousin or something. ;)

[carolyn_claire]

Eep! No! I am my very own, individual Claire. *g*

[ivyblossom]

Haha I say it with fondness, she is a friend of mine. :)

[carolyn_claire]

I've been asked that any number of times, actually. Including on F_W, so I'm quick to disassociate myself from all other Claires when it comes up. (I doubt that she would appreciate the connection, either. *g*)

[ivyblossom]

Oh, sorry about that...I did realize there was no connection, it was just a nice reminder fir me, not an accusatory one! And she wouldn't mind the connection I'm sure, she's a slasher for life and has a good sense of humour,who matter whatr fandom at large has to say about it. She asked me to write some slash for her books!, too! LOL I got sucked into Sherlock instead.

[carolyn_claire]

No worries. It's been going on for years, but I like my name and would rather keep it and smile at the questions. :)

You are already published, aren't you? I thought? And I'm glad you're writing Sherlock, instead, as it benefits me. *g*

[ivyblossom]

Me? No no! I can't seem to finish anything original. One day, maybe. :)

[ivyblossom]

I decided many moons ago that I really love writing, but to do it professionally would be crazy-making. Writing something to publish is on my lifetime agenda, but I wouldn't quit my job (which I love). I need the daily interaction, I think writing professionally would leave me talking to imaginary friends and crying on the floor.

[carolyn_claire]

I hear you. I have an issue with deadlines--anything I'm having fun doing immediately becomes a chore if I have to get it done by a certain time. So there's that, plus health issues that I would need to deal with (if I even can) before I could consider being able to travel extensively, which one has to do in support of one's pro writing, apparently. So I plink away at my original things very slowly and have fun with fanfic (though I've had trouble finishing that, lately, too. *sigh*)

[ivyblossom]

Oi! Yeah, health stuff can really get you down. :/ I hope you find a solution there! Man, I hate being a patient. :(

[carolyn_claire]

Thank you; we're working on it. I'm not a very patient patient, either. *g*

[ivyblossom]

I hope it's nothing too scary! Once you get that sorted and you feel good, I'm sure you'll feel more confident taking on all the things you want to do. :)

[carolyn_claire]

I'll be a force to be reckoned with! Rather than just an annoying buzzing sound in people's ears. :)

Wow that coment got iPad mangled...
