I was absolutely DETERMINED to write something today. I managed one drabble. But hey, that's something. I also did some editing of Alden, MN and sent it off to a magazine, which I'm going to count as well.

Possibly due to the four and a half episodes of Dr Who that I watched today, my muse took the shape of Jackie Tyler. General rated, 100 words.

I put the kettle on first thing in the morning, last thing at night, so many times in between. It's while I wait for the water to boil that I allow myself to think of her. To wonder where she is. When she is. If that doctor's taking care of her.

As soon as the tea's brewing, I stop. Think of other things. Pete maybe, how it was when we met, or that sexy new bloke down the paper shop. Then I drink my tea, get on.

Until the next cuppa, when I can think of her again, my Rose.

Mood::

I'd swear you were British through and through reading that. Lovely little drabble. So down to earth and hopeful and ordinary - in a good way - despite being tinged with sadness.

Thank you, that's a huge compliment *g*

That's just how Jackie is to me. Hopeful and ordinary, in the very best way.

Bravo!

I am quite fond of Jackie Tyler (and Rose too!) - it is refreshing to read her p.o.v.

I am thrilled that you are submitting Alden, MN to a magazine! I loved that piece, and I hope you will write something in a similar vein again.

I love Jackie and Rose. And when my prompt was 'Waiting', i knew I had to write Jackie, who waits so patiently (mostly) for her daughter.

I too hope I write something like Alden again. I really enjoyed it. I've been trying to tempt similar bunnies to the garden gate, but any that are there are being coy. I suppose I'll have to wait til one decides to attend to me.

I heard Jackie's voice reading this, so it's pitch-perfect. I always thought Jackie seemed so lonely without Rose. Really like this.

(Now I need some Dr. Who icons.)

Thank you so much! I'm so glad I managed to get her voice. I think she's such a great character. I love how she tries so hard to be strong and happy, but it's clear how much she misses Rose.

EXCELLENT Jackie voice - I can just hear her. Good stuff.

Why thank you! *g*

This so sweet! And you have a perfect Jackie voice, I can just see her stopping the whole world for a couple of minutes to grieve.

Beautiful, honey.

Aw, thank you!!! She seems the sort who would refuse to let herself get all maudlin about it, but would give herself a little time each day. I'm so glad you liked it *hugs*

Oh I just love this! *claps*

It's so her. I can picture it now. As much as I didn't like Rose, I always liked her mum.

Thank you! You don't like Rose? I thought I would hate her, what with the whole Billie Piper thing, but I actually love her. I adore Jackie though. She's just wonderful. I'm so glad you like this!

Couldn't stand her, the pikey little trollope!

But Jackie was just so sweet.

Only a few weeks to go! :(
