Story Update re: AS&CW & Story Goals for 2009
I made myself a promise during NaNoMoWri this November that I would finish four stories which I did along with an original short story to boot so I'm posting stories again even though there don't seem to be many Storm and RoLo fans as before. That's a pity really. My goal for 2009 is to finish all the stories I started over the years and by 2010 be finished with fan fiction altogether. There are a lot of stories stashed away on my USB some decent, others silly but I'm determined to post them all. I need to concentrate on my original work, mostly short stories, something I've always done long before fan fiction.
I'd like to explain why I haven't updated African Skies and Canadian Whiskey in ages, it was partially because two laptops got viruses and I never took my desktop in to get fixed - laziness and writer's block. But an author I really admire had a story plot that I was using and I don't like to do the same thing someone else has already. That meant I had to come up with a different plot that still goes with everything else I wrote. I just couldn't think of anything. But now that I'm determined to finish all my stories this will be one of the first I tackle I believe.
In the meantime I wrote a RoLo story in October that I finished in November, just need to proof it, and will probably post this week. It's about four chapters and based in the future. I also finished the last chapter of A Blue True Dream of Sky and will probably have that up this week too. Another of my goals is to put all my stories here on my LJ I just need to figure out how to put up chapter stories on this site as I'd like to have all of my stories here besides at ff.net.
The countdown to the end of fan fiction as I know it begins January 1st. Now all I have to do is type like crazy.
