*blinks* Random Googling produces the best things...

[clo_again]

In my idle search to see how noticable tennis slash is becoming in Google searches - I found a roundabout link to Deuce on the second page but nothing more apparent really - I came across this:

"This is not to say that Federer does not use the strong arm when required, for he can hit forehands and backhands of immense power. However, it is the sheer variety that is so thrilling. Whereas Roddick paints in primary colours, the Swiss master uses the full palette."

How good a metaphor is that for Andy and Roger? I mean, wow.

I am still working on Break Point, which I think has now decided to be the second-to-last part instead. The series wants a concluding ficlet afterwards. *sighs* Muses. Tense is still slowing me down, since I seem to have lost the ability to write consistently in 3rd person past tense and have to keep going back to change it. Gggrrrrr.

This was a random post, brought to you by random things at a random time of night.

EDIT: I finally, finally got Break Point working for me somewhat. Not finished but I've passed the 1,000 word mark at last and after that, it's usually all easy-going. *sighs* Don't know why it took me so long to get back into the right gear for this fic, but I've got it now, I hope.

Also just realised I need to rewrite my Creative Writing portfolio over the next three weeks. Woe. But I'll think about that tomorrow... right now, must get some sleep since I have a seminar in about... seven hours?

Night!

The metaphor is very true. However, Andy has been working on movement on the court more. The commentators were talking about it during his match with Grosjean. It was pretty awesome to watch.

I'm pretty bad with keeping my tenses correct. Hope it starts working for you. :)

Isn't it pretty? I am such an English student, with pretty metaphors making me happy. *giggles*

I know. *kicks them* And I know I can do it, I'm just out of practise after 56,000+ words of present tense in Halcyon. Seem to be getting the hang of it again though. *sighs*

Yay! I love Andy improving his game, though I wish I was at home to watch the tennis. *sighs* Still, anything that Andy does to make himself play better is definitely awesome. I still dream of my Roddick-Federer rivalry. *dreams*

It did eventually, just when I need to get some sleep if I'm going to be up for my seminar in a few hours. *sighs* Still, I think I'm finally getting somewhere. ^__^ If class and sleep didn't keep getting in the way, I'd have finished by now.
