Procrastination, I know thee well ...
So instead of cleaning my kitchen and working diligently on my fic for hp-beholder, as I vowed to do today, I have spent much of yesterday and today archiving my fics over at AO3. I now have like 70 fics there including (I think) all my fest and longer pieces plus a number of the drabbly bits that I particularly enjoyed/were popular when cross posted/were a bit longer. I think it'll be good to have my fics archived elsewhere, too, as LJ has been known to eat things from time to time.
I am proud seeing all my fics up there like that! It's fun to be able to sort and filter. I never have managed to create a Master List of all my fics, so this might be an easier place to view them for people who are looking. Yay! Plus, it's fun to get kudos/comments on some of my older stuff again now that it's elsewhere with a new crowd of potential readers. Also, this way if I sign up for challenges over there or remix type things, my material will be easy to find.
Beholder fic is languishing in my brain. I know what I want to happen ... mostly. But it's not really coming out of my brain and into the nice Word document. Right now I have just under 500 words. To be fair, it's just set up stuff, so the rest should work itself out okay when I force myself to focus. Plan: I have another full day layover this week. Last week's was spent finalizing/posting purimgifts stuff and this week shall be devoted to Beholder. I can reward myself with episodes on Netflix each time I achieve 300 or 500 words or whatever. It also helps that I don't think I have much else to put up on AO3, so I'm hoping it will stop distracting me!
I should write more. Instead, I think that Myka needs some snuggles ... and um, I should have some tea. *FAIL KAT*
