That's a good goal for a crazy person

Oz: So it turns out that writing to meet constant impending deadlines is pretty stressful. I experienced this with writing Dionysus, Aurora, and now Oz. On the one hand, it's rather taxing to keep up. On the other hand, it forces me to sit down and plot carefully, and it forces me to write. I worry that the quality is somewhat diminished, but there is definitely something to be said for forcing myself through the stuff that I don't find particularly interesting to write instead of dithering about it for weeks on end. Especially in a long story like this, there are parts that I really don't care to write, but I know have to be written for the sake of the story.

I hear reports that SPN is coming back Jan 21ish. I'm pretty sure I can wrap Oz all up by that time, but alas I doubt I can finish Oz within December--not if I don't want the ending to blow monkey balls. I may also have to postpone a Hole in the World until Jan when I have slightly more time--it seems like the first ep back won't be a massive mytharc one, so I should be safe. I might have to truncate the ambitions for that story as well, and shorten it to under 10K words.

Sesa: I am so thankful that my Sesa is all sent in and complete. Gah. I would not be able to handle working on that alongside Oz at this pace.

Final unrelated note: How cute this is this Santa panda icon? OMG so cute. thisfishflies, I love you.
