Weekly Check In

We're getting close to the deadline for the final story drafts, and I'm sure all of you, writers and artists, are at different stages. Some of you are done, some are doing that final bit of tweaking, and some, like your humble mod, are on that death march to finishing that final scene or that illustration or that vid.

For those of us still working, I thought I'd share one of my favourite bits of inspiration: The Little But Really Useful Guide to Creativity

So, how is everyone doing out there? Share your successes and your challenges!

Hoorah for being over the minimum! And good luck with those last 5,000 words. I'm sure they'll work out brilliantly. (I know where you're coming from on this one. I just broke 32,000 words, but I think I'm going to need a further 3,000 to 5,000 to get to the end. At least I'm at the fun angsty part of the writing. 'Cause, ya know, I think angst is fun. At least when I'm inflicting it on my characters. *g*)

Hope Bodie and Doyle find both ice cream and love.

*in awe of 32,000 words*

Thanks for the encouragement, it does help *g* And angst is SO FUN although actually what is driving me here (and this is how I KNOW I'm too into this story) is my guilt at leaving Bodie is his current angst-ridden state rather than finishing the damn resolution for him.

They have successfully found ice-cream, love may be a few more thousand words yet... *g*

I thought it was bad last year when I came in just shy of 30,000 words. ::shakes fist at muse for inspiring long, looong stories::

Of course you must save Bodie from his angst-ridden state! Get on that, would you woman. (This is completely hypocritical, since I currently have left Bodie in a thoroughly messed up condition myself. Must push on and have Doyle save him pronto.)

Well, if they haven't found love yet, at least they have ice cream. *g*
