How I wish I could write: In ethereal, dreamy prose that would capture the feeling of the fic I'm going for - think southern gothic, whisky, summer heat and cicadas
( Read more... )
I'm over 6000 in prose and ideas but thinking about scrapping the last 2000 because if feels overwrought and out of place.
I'm working every day, so nights are all the time I have available to right (geez) write. I really, really wanted to play this year - it would be my first - but I'm not sure I can get it done (sad face).
I'll keep trudging, start fleshing out the different ideas I've got. It doesn't have to be publish ready so I'll still have time to edit, right?
Good luck! You're very talented so I know you can get it done!
I'm working every day too, so I feel your pain on that. Good luck right back at you! Hopefully you won't have to completely scrap the last 2000! I was looking forward to it as well, but I really doubt I'm going to meet the deadline. Oh well, like Saltandburnboys said below there's other big bangs!
Lol aw, the cheerleading is appreciated! I'm trying very hard not to pressure myself too much, but it's hard not to. I have the outline written down but fleshing it out from there is problematic. But you're right, there are other challenges out there (speaking of, I haven't even started my meant to be challenge yet, but that only has to be 1000 words and posted sometime in May, so I'm not freaking out about that quite yet). And yay! You're going to read "drifting"?! *hides* It's one of my favorites that I've written. I'm actually planning on revamping that one for publication just as soon as I finish editing my other original fic (the one that e-books tree tried to steal)! I'm actually quite behind on my reading as well

Agh, yes, pulling teeth. (I was equating it to pulling out fingernails in my head earlier this evening.) Every word is agony at this point! I'm at 4500...
But I know you can do it! ashtraythief reminded me to think of the pretty-pretty art and keep writing, as good advice as any at this point :)
I'm trying to keep reminding myself of that. I'd love to see the artwork anyone would make for this story - but like my best friend said, worst case scenario I can always do my own artwork (true but boring) and post it myself sometime in the summer.
And good luck to you! I have more faith in you pulling this off than I have in myself. I wish I was at 4500 words!
