Sharing the Pain of the In Progress stories

[holdingoff]

So both tanarian and teachwriteslash have stepped up and admitted the list of in-progress stories they have. I wanted to show them that they aren't alone. So here's the stack of what's not moving here at the Casa (I live in California, we're allowed to use Spanish) in honor of Teach's birthday.

I have learned two things - PWP is not happening and short is impossible. I offered 750 word fics for Help_haiti that are going to be 3 to 4 times that if not more.

No wonder I mainline coffee... oh the wizard one should be fun....

Well, happy birthday Missy. I wish I could throw the genetic anomaly and his offspring and breeding partner out for you, but we'll just have to commiserate.

PWP is possible, but I've not tried any lately. 750 words for you? That's the outline, right? I just can't imagine with your writing style that ever working.

Caffertol tablets sound like they're in your future. (Caffertol was a high concentration caffeine tablet designed for people with narcolepsy. I'm pretty sure they were pulled off the market when less illustrious people discovered they worked better than speed.)

Thank you! I lack the gene for plot, what plot. Just ask Caz. She's tried and found it hopeless.

I think I'd miss squatter baby ... she looks at her parents like "where did these two come from."

When she stands by my door yelling Auntie, Auntie, I'm done for.

That, and I'm training her to be a liberal.

I have had outlines go over 1000 words easy.

Right now the poison of choice is Cafe Con Leche. I spent over a week in Miami for work. I went with a friend to order one at one of those corner coffee shops and said "strong." The Cuban gentleman looked at me funny and my friend, who is Cuban, fired off something in Spanish that made him laugh. He made it strong.

Yeah - I thought about a certain TV show and you while I was there.

You need to get the baby a little t-shirt that says, "Vegan Baby for Gun Control". Maybe that will send the sperm donor and his breeding partner packing.

Cuban coffee... shudder. Turpentine with brown coloring added.

Not working on that show this season, can't bring myself to go back to Florida.

I made her cous cous for dinner tonight and she loved it...

Oh no - I love cuban coffee ... cafe con leche...

I can understand that ... I really can :-)
