New Goal!

So I totally didn't finish my nanowrimo Dean/Cas story because halfway through the month I decided to Get Serious about looking for a new job and most of my free time was eaten up by job searching, resume posting, tweaking etc.

So! the new goal is to have my Dean/Cas Harlequin done by Christmas! because I totally need it done so I can start my supernova which is due in march and is supposed to be 100k long.

oops.

Dean/Cas is at abou 22000 words right now and I'm guessing I'm about 1/3 of the way into the story. They have met. They are starting to 'feel things' for one another and I'm about three -four scenes away from the First Sex Scene. I always plot out my harlequins the same way
  • They meet
  • they waffle over their feelings. They're confused. Do they feel what they feel?
  • They realize that yes, there are 'feelings'
  • they have sex
  • The brief bit where they are kinda/sorta/gee!wow in a relationship almost!
  • Something Bad Happens and threatens to break them up - this can be internal or external depending on how what I'm going for.
  • Something Bad Gets Resolved
  • Denouement of happy times
So, I'm at the They Realize There are Feelings stage just about to ramp into They have Sex.

Hmm. Perhaps Christmas is a bit... optimistic.

Why isn't there a Castiel big bang?

(er, if there is, oops. I totes missed it).

there's a dean/cas, spn_j2, john w, novak fest, crowley big bang, gabriel big bang....

I just think Cas should have his own big bang.

Sigh. I was super busy all day Wednesday and Thursday and didn't write. this somehow translated to taking Friday off and only managing 1000 words yesterday.

So I'm about 8000 words behind, I think.

And I'm not sure what to do about it.

I had to work today so I didn't do any writing, yet, although the night is young-ish. But IDK how I feel about the pressure of 8000 words.
I'm definitely going to finish the story. I just don't know if it will be during Nano.

So, I signed up for nanowrimo this year.

It starts in, like, 36 hrs or something and I have yet to think of a plot.
and while I know I won't be flogged mercilessly for not writing 1667 words a day (or 50000 this month) I can't help but feel anxious.

I told myself that I didn't have to write all on one project. I could rotate if needs be, so that I wouldn't be... overwhelmed.

but the urge is there to just do one project and stick with it!

But.... I don't have a complete plot for the original fic I was thinking of doing.
I could always go back to my failed spn_meanttobe (Dean/Cas) and do that.
Or I could go WAY back to an original fic I've been working on since 1996 (no, you read that right, 1996). It's at 110,000 words and frankly, it lacks... cohesiveness and flow. It pretty much needs to be redone from the start.
Or I could do a sequel to Dark Shadows
Or I could do an SGA John/Rodney.

I kind of feel pulled in multiple directions. which is why I thought of rotating projects and just have the goal be the words and not the novel.

*am torn.

LJ Fail?

Am trying to edit my sticky post for fic and when I go to edit.... it's over half gone? but then I cancel and view it on my LJ and it's all there. So I go again to edit and it's even more than half gone.


so I guess I won't be procrastinating writing by updating my sticky post tonight.

why so dodgy, LJ?

So, [livejournal.com profile] atlantisbigbang goes live on Saturday and guess who just finished her story
*points thumbs at self*
This girl.

Not that I'm cutting it close or whatever.

And my [livejournal.com profile] spn_gen_bigbang posting date is Sept 28. I figure I have to write about 1000 words a day if I want to get it done in time.

So no pressure

*cries*

I probably won't even start, let alone finish spn_meanttobe in time, but I think I'll still write my story, as it's kicking aroudn in my head. Once a story does that.... sigh. It usually means it wants to come out.

*back to the slog*

Aw Crap.

I'd been having so much fun riding the high of being done my first draft and turning it in that I'd been kinda ignoring the fact that I need to edit the mofo and get it into shape by June 1.

So I guess I can give myself two more days off and then back to the grindstone to fix the plot holes.

grumble.
zoemathemata: (Shame on You)
No really, I am.

This is exactly why I don't let myself gamble.

Because I can't just like something.

I have to really really really like something.

And my new current obsession?

Stargate: Atlantis fic

specifically McShep [McKay/Sheppard].

And then I found this

THE HOLY GRAIL OF SGA SLASH FIC


I've read almost all the amnesia fics and I'm about 25% of the way through Illness, wounds and other Health Issues.

And it's not like I gave up any of my other reading for this new obsession. No, I've just pushed aside the more trivial things in my life like SLEEP and WORK.
And they have a special category "aliens made them do it."

It must be the SGA equivalent of the SPN Sex Pollen/Curse.
