Writing, yay!

[luzula]

Oh wow, I am so relieved. I said on my last post that I thought exeterlinden had got me unstuck on my dSSS story, and yes, she really did. On the train north, I deleted 300 words of it and wrote 900 new words, and it's working. I'd been having problems with plot and structure, but I think it's all going to work out now! I think this is going to be a good story. \o/

Awaiting beta on my partially written Yuletide story, so that one's on ice for the moment.

How about you: how are your holiday exchanges going, if you're doing any?

That is the best feeling in the world, when something finally starts to come together. I'm excited to read it! Wish I'd gotten into the fandom in time to do dSSS. Maybe next year!

Not doing any fannish exchanges this year, just the holiday ficlets for my Flist, which I think are going pretty well. Only a handful left to go!

Yay! I think it's going to be a good story, too :)

Hey btw, have you seen this meme? I did a short recording - and Calvinahobbes read some of your story Under Berget in Swedish :D

Oops, late reply! Anyway, if you want to participate in dSSS in some way, you could sign up to pinch-hit. If that's a thing that you do, of course--I don't write that fast, so I probably couldn't do it myself.

Oops, late reply! Anyway, thanks for the link--Calvinahobbes and I have friended each other now. It's nice to get to know some more nordic fans!

[seascribble]

Eek, I have never done that before! I think I will; I click along pretty quickly when I get something. Thanks for the suggestion!

Yay, that's awesome news!! YAY!

I'm only doing festivids, and I still haven't found a song, but I'm giving myself to the end of November before I freak out. ;-P

That is such a relief when something becomes unstuck, congratulations!

Submitted my holmestice contribution, now concentrating on work-related writing.

[luzula]

Yeah, I guess the things you get stuck on in vids are pretty different from the things that you get stuck on in fic? I hope you find a song soon!

[luzula]

I know, it's like the ketchup effect or something! : )

Congratulations on already being done with yours!

Hooray for writing!

Both my DSSS and Yuletide are at the "working from outline, majority of parts are written or partially written, but that means that all the bits I have left to write are the ones I'm stuck on" stage. Also I keep wandering off and working on other projects instead, because apparently I am perverse. :)

[luzula]

That seems like good progress, though! And yeah, it's easy to get distracted...
