Downal Wyth Bluddy Clichés: Prompt 3

[manniness]

Guess what?  Yup, another Thursday.

If you were thinking about writing something for one of the previous prompts, please feel free to do so!  There's no expiration date on these!

Right, so what's the next cliché?

Alice wants to be a businesswoman.

Or some similar variations: 
Alice eagerly accepts Lord Ascot's job offer.
Alice wants to go to China.

Many fics show Alice as a competent businesswoman (my own included) but I wonder if there might be more to that story.

Oh, I'm pretty sure I'll be writing for the AiW Big Bang. I've got several ideas that, if they can be corralled and properly introduced to one another, will be very Fun.

Why not scribble in a notebook during June? I alternate between keeping notes and writing on my computer and scribbling in my notebook. I even alternate where I write (physically) in my home. Oddly enough, it works for me. (But, then again, I am a bit odd, anyway.)

I replied a bit further down this comment thread about writing production styles, if you're interested. Mostly, I just rambled, which entertained me Greatly. (^__~)

Hmm... I suppose I could try that. Writing by hand takes me longer but that doesn't mean I couldn't do it. I'll just have to make sure to print off all the notes for my stories before I lose access to my laptop.

Not to mention it'll give me something to do on the two 15+ hour plane rides I have to sit through.

Plus, there's the added benefit of the inevitable Revision of Awesomeness as you transfer written words to typed. (^__~)

Long flights... oh, how I hate long flights. Why can't America be a little closer to Japan? That's all I ask!

I know right! I can think of very few things that sound more appealing than being stuck in a gigantic metal box for a day with dozens of strangers.

And I haven't even been on a plane yet!
