Instead of doing the WIP meme
I’ll just talk about some of my WIPs.
Nightfall - Oh, God, do I ever want to finish this story. I really do. What frustrates me the most is that I know everything that’s going to happen in it, and occasionally I get tempted to give it up and just tell everyone the ending, but really-I still think about this story all the time, see scenes for it in my head. Every time I listen to a song that was on my Nightfall writing soundtrack, I’m brought right back to wanting to write it.
Maybe I’ve just had too much distance from it. I think what would be really helpful to me, actually, is having someone who’d be willing to be a very hand-holding beta. Someone willing to talk to me about where the plot’s going, someone I can bounce ideas off of-someone who can help me get back my energy for it. Hell, even read snippets in real time as I write. If any of you would be willing to do that, or know someone who would, I’d be really grateful.
Father of Mine - Yeah, still intending to finish that, too. I’ve gotten out of my 100-word drabble mojo a bit and think I need to practice that form a bit more before I try another chapter of this, thought.
Portraits - Oh, God. I keep thinking I’m never going to finish these, but then, the other day... I was hiking, and the last sentence of the last Portrait came to me. Just-all at once, out of nowhere. What really freaks me out about this series a little is that I’m not sure if I’d want to write any more Brokeback fic afterwards. It’s kind of my secret magnum opus.
And, well, that isn’t all of them, but those are the ones I most often think about.
2) As for Superman Returns WIPs, I feel bad saying it, but the stories I think about working on the most are Emergent Dreams and a sequel to Convergent Dreams. For some reason I’m having a hard time getting into a High Altitude or Together mindset. Huh, actually, looking at it, it seems like basically I want to stick to my own AU universe. It really does fascinate me and I love all the different places I can go with it. I still have all the beginning of the CD sequel mapped out in my head; just for some reason, it hasn’t come out on paper yet. And getting an incredibly sweet review on CD the other day really got me brainstorming about it. This may be another one where I could use a beta to help me get my energy back up again/focused. Hrmmmm.
But once again with CD and ED, I need to hone my drabbling muse again. Most shortfic I’ve written recently falls into the 200-400 word category. Hmm, maybe time to do a drabble prompts post to get my Muse flowing?
Whee, navel-gazing. Oh, look, back-up DVD is done burning. Nicely timed, computer!
