Like... I don't even have a vague sense of what the final word count will be. And it's sprawled, it's sprawled out from Leeds, and now it's about, like, A WHOLE FUCKING YEAR in Harry's life. And Louis has kind of turned into an emotionless tosser and Zayn and Harry have this weird ambivalence for each other and Niall so far only has, like, four lines and one of them is, "Here here".
I have the ending - I always have the ending before I start. (I copy-pasted it but then I was like, 'shit, I think that gives away the entire plot in ten words, BETTER NOT')
I KNOW. I just... you know how in every fandom you fall into, there's like your fantasy fic? The one that's like the distilation of everything you want to say about a certain pairing/situation/character/whatever? I think I'm accidentally writing that. Was considering whether to post it as a WIP, even though I said I would NEVER EVER EVER do a WIP again because they KILL YOUR SOUL.
no, keep going until its done. Don't do wips because then you get that whole PRESSURE factor from well meaning readers and no. you dont need that. can you just plot out the rest into chunks and start filling them in? AND STOP EDITING STUFF UNTIL YOU GET ANOTHR 10K DONE???
It pretty much is plotted, there are just a couple of really vital gaps to fill in. Like... the bit where they have sex in a tent.
I have it written in my head, it's just finding the time to actually write it and make it pretty. Work has been INSANE today. I was at my desk at, like, 6.30 this morning and I'm still not done. That's 11 hours already. I'm sure there are laws against this. except there isn't, because no one cares if you keel over and die on your keyboard when you're freelance
well you choose the jobs right? are you still working on the swedish bbq thing or was it not swedish but involved a certain horned helmet wearing person of nordic descent?? Lol
well at least you KNOW where you're going and now you just have to get there. when there's time
I work for an agency so I write whatever they want me to. The barbecue was, like, 40 or 50...maybe more deadlines ago? I lose track - I can't even really remember what I wrote this morning. I'd totally forgotten the Nordic barbecue, but now I'm recalling that it was completely biodegradable and somehow in researching it or something vaguely related or perhaps just some other thing that came in at the same time, I learnt that goats have a prehensile upper lip.
We're supposed to be exchanging contracts on Wednesday and moving the week after. And then I'm taking at least two weeks off work because I'm exhausted. I want to take a month but I'm not sure they'd stomach that.
I would've if I could've got a cat sitter. Was aiming to go to Reading but I'm not sure I'll make it, which means NO FESTIVALS AT ALL THIS YEAR FOR ME :(.
Do you know which one they're at? It's a two location festival - Cheltenham and Stafford. BF is at Cheltenham (the one closest to London so it tends to be the ones the celebs go to but you never know).

And not done.
Nowhere near done.

you do realise that leeds fic was meant to PURELY be fucking in a tent right?
just that.
*laughing at you and with you but mostly at*
it's easy to make louis a tosser and zayn IS ambivalent and niall eats so his mouth is always too full for words
