Reminder first:

ARTISTS' SIGN-UPS IN THE MONTH OF MAY!

Oh c'mon, admit it, you've been dying to spend three months drawing Bodie's right eyebrow, we ALL know it. :D

LOOK FOR THE SIGN-UP POST IN JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS!

As to you writerly types, it's that time again, time to brag about how smart and talented your story is, how well it's doing in school... well, at least it's well mannered... or has a face only you could love.

CONFESS ALL!

I confess that I am not going well with the writing even though I know what I want to write. But there is still time. ::eyes deadline in nervous manner::

I have 1,000 words now, which is more than no words? I need to buckle under and get a few more out though.

Ohh... the months are going too fast, I didn't notice it was nearly May!
Good news, one of my stories is over the ten thousand word limit! Woo hoo! Unfortunately the other is only um... three thousand. Hmm, are two stories too much?
Looking forward to seeing the artist list!

Well,... I moved. Now I have to unpack. LOL, *sigh*.

I was thinking about the story the other day (in the middle of shifting boxes). It's one of those things that you severely doubt while in the middle of it, and then come back to it and it's not the horror you thought it was. (Not clean, shiny, and complete by any means, but not horrible. At least salvageable.)

I think I need someone to read it. The someone in mind may be too booked right now, and I haven't reached out to the regular betas yet (oiks, what am I thinking), but some input / ideas-bouncing wouldn't be bad.

And - I did figure out at least the general form of the ending. It's partially on paper, and partially still in my head. ;-)

But it's almost May, and I will have to start getting serious about putting this together. There are three "phases," and these phases are going to fit with each other, or my name isn't golden_bastet. :nods, though acknowledging the pseudonym bit:

BTW - the 2013 story was inadvertently deleted on AO3 (not by me), and the mods there say they can't restore it. Do I just give you guys the new link once I've put it back up?

I managed to write on Monday and crossing fingers that I can write today. The story is slowly taking shape as i write, but I'm in the period of constant mild panic about it that I get every year because of my inability to outline. I'm always sure that the story will never be finished and there will be dangly bits all over. I overcome this and did manage to sort of plan the next couple scenes.

Time to write....The deadline looms!

I've written a bit since last check in, but not nearly enough. I need to get to it! My word count is probably useless since I'll need to edit a lot, as I usually need to do. Its at 16,000 plus a few more. So we'll see what happens!
