I’m in crisis over TLF. It is such a bloody mess right now. Last week I was trying to work out plotting on it and stuff, because I’ve decided to go back in time from where I started the last draft, and I think it needs to be two books, …
Original fic projects Revise FTGGI and find a new title for it. Maybe Shaper of Shadows would work…? Shaper? I don’t usually like one-word titles as much, though. Submit the story that Winter Raven was going to publish before they went under (“A Delicate Balance”). Submit “Warleader” somewhere “Tricksters Without …
Dear flist, I am sorry I am so far behind in LJ/IJ-land. I’m sorry to the people I usually chat with that I’ve been non-chatty or not around lately. I’m in my winter funk, I think. Or something. Anyway, I’m still alive, I had a “Grey Street” moment today (Hey, …

Realized I haven’t updated this in a while. Saturday I did 2400 words, Sunday 2200, Monday 1000. Tuesday night (into Wednesday morning) was a good night, with about 6,000 words. Tonight I managed another 1650. 35967 / 50000 words. 72% done! So I’m doing pretty well on NaNo, though it’s …
26671 / 50000 words. 53% done! 1,381 words today, not as much as I’d hoped, but I required pep talks from slightlyjillian, krycek_chick, and astraea36. Yes, I was needy today. Tomorrow I may take my laptop to Barnes & Noble just to make myself work on the bloody novel instead …
