The WIP meme...

[byslantedlight]

... gacked from everyone... *g* Ha - I'd forgotten about some of these, and I'm also happily surprised that there aren't more lurking on this harddrive...

Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence!

This is *so* unfair......

[byslantedlight]

Oh, and you know that two of them are close to finished too... well, one of them is... but the other one is 25 pages long! I'll get there, I promise!

[shooting2kill]

25 pages! Spits on palms Now you're talking! I love long stories so I shall look forward to this one.

[byslantedlight]

Hee! I should try and write at least a sentence a day, shouldn't I... That'd be something at least. Then again it takes me ages sometimes to write a single sentence... Still, maybe I should give it a go! Half the battle sometimes is opening a fic and getting on with it - if I tell myself that I only need to write a single sentence each time, then maybe I'll end up getting carried away... Hmmn! *g*

[lukadreaming]

Hee! That should keep you busy for a while *g*. Most intriguing -- and I really want to read the rest of No. 2 in particular!

[byslantedlight]

Hee! There are actually about 25 pages of number 2, and it's... maybe halfway? I think? It's a bit hard to tell. But it's the second-most-complete! *g*

[lukadreaming]

Yay! *Pokes gently*

[byslantedlight]

Hee! *wiggles*

It's really amazing to see how so many writers have so many WIPs on their hard drives. We ought to have a WIPs Anonymous meeting - 'My name is Hambel, and I can't stop starting fanfiction stories'.

Are these abandoned or still being plotted?

[byslantedlight]

Hee - it's great, isn't it! Trouble is, I get distracted by the next new story to wander into my brain... well, and last year I got distracted by life, but I'm hoping that downturn in events just... well, you know. *g*

A couple of these are well on the way to being grown-up completed fics, many more are quite on the way, only I was distracted, and some are just ideas that popped up and I wrote down for later, you know? *g*

I think we should have a Pros WIP holiday - hire a gorgeous house out somewhere, each have a room with internet connection where we can hide ourselves away in the daytime, writing, and a living room with full stock of the eps, and as many vids as we can get our hands on, perhaps the novelisations in a corner for perusing... and of course a kitchen for wandering in and out of when we get stuck... Then there'll be much delicious creative cooking and eating and drinking of wine, and lazy Pros-y evenings where we relax and get all reinspired for the next day. That's what I think we should do... *sighs*

I'm with you on the distraction. I was hanging out the washing this morning and had a sudden vision of Gene from LoM as el Gene Genie, a masked lothario having his wicked way with willing men all over Manchester. It'll never get written but it gave me lovely thoughts while I was pegging out the smalls *g*

[byslantedlight]

Hee - distraction isn't all bad, it's true... *vbg* I remember being very happily distracted in a darkened room when I was supposed to be listening to what other students thought about the stable isotope make-up of microhyz...microhazz...oh, some microbiology thing that was of no relevance to me at all! The things B/D got up to in that dark room, under cover of Powerpoint... *g*

[gilda_elise]

Wow, lots and lots of Pros stories on their way. :-)

[byslantedlight]

Ah, I do like an optimist... *g* Actually I am feeling more write-y than I was this time last year, so crossed fingers!

[kiwisue]

Oooh, do get on, please! That first one - what is happening? I want to know!

[byslantedlight]

Heee! Oh, the first one... the first one is actually complete as far as it goes, cos it was for WriteTime a couple of years ago, but it's really only a teeny-tiny bit of a story, which I will write... *g*
