In which ratherastory waffles about writing. Again.
You know the drill. *waves hand* Nothing to see here except me wittering on about writing. Carry on. As you were. Etc.
I'm procrastinating on my castielfest fic. I really shouldn't. I have a good idea for it, even if it hasn't all gelled in my brain yet. After swearing up and down after my summergen that I wouldn't do a crossover again, but apparently I lied. So now, once again, what should be a quick 1,000-word thing looks like it's going to turn much longer. With any luck it won't be AS long.
I should get back to it. I have some structure problems to figure out, and the sooner I get it done, the sooner I can go back to work on my deancasbigbang. Not that it's just a chore I have to get over with or anything, but it's kind of stressing me a bit right now. Not massively so, but a bit. Once I get into the right headspace, I'm sure it'll be fine.
Actually, summergen seems to be stressing out a number of people on my flist these days, and it makes me really sad to see that. Fandom should never be a source of stress and unhappiness for people. *gathers entire flist into a giant squishy hug and feeds them tea and biscuits because she has no idea what else to do*
I am being seduced by the pretty graphics at tamingthemuse. I haven't signed up yet, because it requires posting every week, a minimum of 500 words, and *has* to include the prompt given. Given all my prior commitments, I'm leery of this. See, I can do 500 words, but I would also have to post said words, and if they happen to be for an ongoing challenge, I'm not allowed to do that. So it would essentially mean ANOTHER commitment, this time of 500 words a week on top of what I'm already writing.
In short, I'm probably going to sign up when I've finished the drafts of all my fic exchanges and Big Bangs. I might use it to update Roses in December, when the time comes. No, I haven't forgotten it, have no fear. I'm just working on more immediate commitments. Or, I might use it to write my project of One Tag For Every Supernatural Episode. That'll get me through a couple of years of prompts at least. :)
