Unprompted Snippets and Other Three-Day Weekend Goals
Goals stated publicly here for accountability purposes. If I have not met them by Monday night Pacific Time, you have my permission to come back to this post and pester me about them.
Labor Day is one of the few holidays for which my place of employment is actually closed. (Technically, we're only sort of closed, but I don't have to work.) I am also having trouble giving myself permission to play with things that I don't want to do the work to turn into a giant story, so I was going to do prompt snippets. But then I started making a list of those kinds of things that are already in my head - or my snippets and such file - that could be completed/posted this weekend and thought, "Why not just write those things instead?" So that's what I'm going to do, at least three of them, even if I end up posting them all on Monday instead of one per day, and I'm giving myself permission for them to be the fun parts/snippets, and to not write everything that I could possibly do with the plot bunny. The thought that I should make them into real stories has been keeping me from working on them at all, so this is one of those times when something is better than nothing. Below is the list I made. Although I might still do whatever I want to do, feel free to comment with votes for what you'd like to see!

The List
- The third Gabe/Victoria/Bebe story.
- Post-episode seven melancholyish Suits gen (Harvey&Mike) with cake.
- Tom/Sean, Tom owns a collar.
- girl!Brendon/Sarah, crossdressing.
- Harry/Draco EWE pre-slash wherein Draco follows Harry around for a week.

- Suits/Sherlock crossover (because Sherlock Holmes should meet Mike Ross).
- Bake something. Bread and/or cinnamon rolls.
- Write/post an entry about Malinda Lo's Huntress.
- Finish the book I'm reading (Patti Smith's Just Kids) and write/post an entry about it.
- Take a second crack at the book I stopped reading earlier this week (Patricia Briggs' River Marked).
- Enjoy myself having lunch and seeing Colombiana with norwich36. (Okay, I admit it: this one is on here because I know I'll be able to do it, and it's always good to have something you're sure you can cross off your to-do list.)
