Forget 2009, what happened to 2010?

Doesn’t time fly? I have no idea where half of this year has gone but if anyone finds it, let me know.

Stories. Well. I’ve got a sort of complete yet still unsatisfactory one, a post-Timeless thing that I don’t know how to write, an immediately post-Endgame story (featuring Gretchen with a pulse and attitude!) that’s just not working, a Janeway Lives challenge story which seemed like a good idea in my head but sort of splats on paper, yet another post-Endgame tale that, I think, needs flashbacks that I have no idea how to write. Of course, that’s not even considering the Baby On Board sequel (why, oh why?), a drunk Janeway shortie and yet another post-Endgame one that started from one character’s name and hasn’t got much further.

Damn.

Wow!

Got some very exciting news. “Eating it Too” won “VOY General Story” in the ASC Awards. I’m totally thrilled by this and I’ll be posting on ASC to thank everyone as soon as I can.  The winners were announced on 4/2, but my internet connection is spotty, so I’ve only just found out. And to think, if it hadn’t been for SLWatson’s “Slice of Life” challenge, that story and the other two in the series wouldn’t have been written. Cool.

I’ve hit the inevitable snag in my Spring Fling story. I just can’t make it “go”. I can’t remember when it’s due and I’m almost frightened to look at the email to find out. I’m hoping for a sudden burst of inspiration (and extremely good typing skills).

What was I doing again?

I’m sure I was supposed to be doing some writing. Well, technically I have, but it’s all in notebooks and I can’t be bothered typing it all out. It’s a bit disturbing reading, really. I can’t always tell which bit is for which story. Oops.

There are a couple that are so close to completion that it’s a bit depressing. Why can’t I find an ending for them? Or, to be more accurate, we all know the ending but how can I make an at least passable attempt at a non-cliche? Tricky.

Back to writing?

I’ve been writing on paper but not much on my stupid computer. Which means I now have to transfer my pages and pages of notes. Oh well. I guess it allows me to edit a bit.

I’m nearly finished two stories, although I still haven’t figured out how to end either of them. Details. Schmetails. Hoping to have at least one of them off my hands soon.
