Writing, Challenges and Holidays
I'm going to be away from the 5th-12th August without any internet access or even my laptop so I won't be contactable/involved with anything on the internet during that week (I'm guessing I'll have lots to catch up on when I get back!) Anyway, it also means I'm going to need to work my fic writing and challenge entries around that.
I've got part of a plot outline for thebigbangjob now (yay!), hopefully I'll finish it tonight. The deadline for the rough draft is a month from now, 21st August, so I really need to try and have most of it written before I go away so that I don't have a mad dash in the week after I get back (which is when I get exam results etc so I'll be pretty busy.) If I were to make the submission just in time I'd need to write at least 600 words a day (missing out the week when I'm away.) Obviously though I'd rather have the bulk of it written before and I can't be sure exactly how far I'll go over the minimum word count (which is 15,000) so I really need to aim for about 1000 words per day. So yeah, do me a favour and pester me about that, yeah? ;)
The other thing I'm currently working towards a deadline for is the hoodie_time tag challenge which needs to be posted by August 17th at the latest. This one will only be a couple of thousand words so I'm hoping to have it finished before I go away. Would anyone be willing to beta-read it for me while I'm gone? Its gen, an insomnia, Dean-focused h/c fic - that way I can edit and post it on the 13th/14th in time for the deadline.
Aside from that of course, I'm working on the prompt fics I have yet to finish and post, I'm hoping to do a least one fill for the John focused comment meme that's running here at my journal at the moment and I have, of course, the ongoing Stanford fic to work on.
Yeah, I'm scared now!
