What an awful few weeks. No time to do any of the things I’ve been wanting to do – and top of that list has been to finish off my SS story. I haven’t got anywhere with that.
The other stories that I’ve been working on have also been on hold. I’ve wanted to work on them but haven’t been able to organize some quiet time to just sit and write. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or not that I’ve also had an idea for another story.
My strong suit seems to be starting but not finishing, sadly.
As usual a wonderful, if busy, Christmas & New Year period for me.
Apart from everything else, I participated (or tried to participate in) the VAMB Secret Santa exchange, attempting to finish a story and get it to its recipient by NYE.
Well, I guess technically I finished it, but it was really far from complete and I hope my SS recipient will allow me to finish it properly before I post it. I was really disappointed that I wasn’t able to give her a ‘total package’. When I’ve knocked some of the rough edges off it, I’ll publish it. It’s not ready yet.
Which, for me, means procrastination. Funny how I’ve just fallen straight back into my old ways after the frenzied activity of the NaNoWriMo.
I’ve got three stories fairly close to completion, with one getting the final touches for (hopefully) a Christmas outing. The “novel” is waiting for its big appointment with a red pen. It needs editing – with extreme prejudice.
After a few days not doing any writing, I find now that I’m missing my daily fix.
What I’m about to start on is editing the NaNoWri ‘novel’. It’s got a lot of chaff and there’s still quite a few holes to be filled. I’ve also had a few thoughts about my other WIPs and I’m looking forward to putting the finishing touches on at least one, if not two, of the stories.
