Look over there ---------------> (this arrow points at my NANO counter - it just occurred to me that only I know that)

I officially am a weiner.

Too bad the story's not done yet.

I'd forgotten how much NANO eats the brain. I don't have time to do much more than think about and write this story ( Read more... )

I was searching for Dave Brandstetter fanfiction and came across this 2006 article about the history of fictional gay and lesbian detectives/spies/cops. It's quite thorough and has given me a nice list of authors to check out. The article includes a couple of books that chronicle the history of the genre; those might be worth adding to my ( Read more... )

"Blue Oblivion" is officially NaNoWriMo approved. Now for the edits. Ugh. No, I mean yay!!!

NaNo is going all right. I just added another cat because I wasn't sure what else to do. But the cat will actually be a good little plot point. My story stands at just more than 40K, so I'm into the homestretch ( Read more... )

I was whining to hazeltea and erynn999 about feeling lonely during the writing process. Actually, I shouldn't be whining at all. NaNoWriMo is going well. I'm ahead of schedule, and I know exactly what's going to happen from here on out ( Read more... )

This way, he has no schedule to keep and no responsibilities to worry about. I'm having an easier time inventing new characters who will all help him realize whey he started driving in the first ( Read more... )

I can hardly believe it, but all the ragged spiral notebooks and multitudinous computer files assure me it's true. I posted 174,423 words in 2009, starting in February.

( In which I wax poetically about a year in fanfic )

No, you don't have to write anything. All you have to do is count the number of words in the stories you've posted this year. Doesn't matter which stories in which fandoms or whether it's original fiction. It just has to have been posted. Even just posted to your LJ is fine ( Read more... )
