Week Five.

[rei_c]

Just a quick check-in this week -- is everyone still alive and still writing? (Except for you lucky sods who've already got a draft, that is.)

--

Three comms you might be interested in, as I've seen the posts asking for betas. Feel free to keep asking around here, but remember that lots of people around these parts are also writers. *Hugs*

Haven't even started. Because apparently, I'm a glutton for punishment.

Hi Rei!!!

[rei_c]

Hey you!

I definitely hear you on being a glutton for punishment. The more and more I think of it, more I'm coming to realise what I have isn't going to fly and I need to think of something else QUICK.

[lostt1]

I admit it, I'm freaking out. I still have two other fics to finish first and dear god...

May first. I can do it, I think.

[rei_c]

You can TOTALLY do it. I have faith! And wine!

I'm working two stories right now- I figure whichever gets to 20k first will get posted. And there are 5k per other plot I've worked on in the past month- seven titles in total, gah- just sitting there in the WIP folder cackling at me, for wasting my time and thinking I can actually be productive.

I sort of want to set them on fire.

I sort of want to set them on fire.

I am SO with you on that.

10K words in and I'm only just closing up part 1 of 9.

I think I want to commit head-to-desk suicide. Or maybe head-to-keyboard, you know, so that the random characters that pop up will contribute to my final word count.

Seriously, I want to kick the bad guy in my story. He's not really a bad guy so much as he's just creepy and a killer and he's got Dean... but bah!

ETA: Also, thank you for the links to the beta sites. I only knew of one of them myself.

[rei_c]

Well, good thing he's a bad guy, then? Must be good characterisation!

You're welcome! There are more out there (doing an interest search for 'beta' yields some good results) but these were three with the most recent and consistent posting rates. Glad to know they're useful!

[rei_c]

I don't know what it's called but I think it sounds FINE. And I'm curious to read it, now!

[wattle_neurotic]

I have like...a plan and three paragraphs. Yeah. I'm not freaking out. (It's been five weeks? Seriously?!)

[rei_c]

You have a plan! That's more than I have!
