And still working on stories. Just not enough hours in the day.
Have the remains of my NaNoWriMo story almost done, I just need to find an ‘angle’ for the opening and a nice resolution (resolutions being most important in J/C’dom). Also working on a fluffier piece that has the same problem i.e. no start or finish. The middles are fine though.
I’ve made a few edits to Checkmate, which I’ll update online as soon as I rouse myself.
Well, not really. A whole bunch of real life just happened.
My NaNoWriMo didn’t happen. The real life thing intruded into my efforts around the middle of November and I didn’t really recover. The novel idea didn’t go well (despite the planning I’d done) and it’ll probably turn into two, maybe three shorter stories.
Merry Christmas everyone. See you in the 2008.
Everyone knows that NaNoWriMo is really all about procrastination. I’ve discovered that I’m really good at putting things off to do, well, other things. Like making posts on my blog, for instance.
I should be trying to finish my NaNoWriMo project. It’s not going well. It’s going bad.
Anyway, as I’m experiencing a lull in NaNo-ing, I thought I’d finally publish my dark story, “Fall from Grace“. Special thanks to the extraordinary Elem, who did an amazing job of beta-ing. I’ve made quite a few changes to this story since I got it back from Elem and I just didn’t have the heart to send this monster back to her, so, if there are mistakes, they’re all mine.
Or not. I am now completely convinced that coming up with titles for fics is actually the hardest part of the process.
Anyway, I’ve published my latest story, Checkmate (yeah, I know) and I’m now trying to get rid of the other story to clear the decks for NaNoWriMo. Again, a huge thank you to Elem for doing such a wonderful job of betaing my story. I don’t know what I’d do without her.
