I would like to attempt wipbigbang again this year, but I am not sure which story to tackle. The finished work must be at least 7,500 words long, and the WIP must be at least 500 words long at the time of entry. (These words can be publicly posted or can exist only in one's own document files ( Read more... )

If, in an effort to make myself finally finish some of my languishing WIPs, I sign up for wipbigbang, which of the following options would be best to tackle? The rules say the finished work must be at least 7,500 words long, and you have to have at least 500 words extant at the time of entry.

I have caught up on my NFE comments! *gleefully ticks off item on to-do list* Now I just need to... do far too many other things I've let slide since I got home from Minnesota. Argh.

I was able to get Netflix to work, though the picture quality is somewhat fuzzy. And it turns out that Duke was nearly recruited to GI Joe in Thailand. Right before he broke up a bar ( Read more... )

You know the most frustrating part about researching the US Army to a fare-thee-well? Only about five percent of this information will be visible in the finished story. The rest is just there so I know what I can and can't have the characters do, where and when they can or can't go to various places, and other invisible logistical matters. Like ( Read more... )
