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!

There comes a time when you just have to tell yourself it's done and post it. There's no magic to it. You gotta do it, is all. And stop tweaking! Once I consider a story finished, I try not to read it until AFTER I post it. I tend to read my fic after I post to get a feel for how it looks on that particular archive. Then if I see a typo, I'll fix it. I don't edit that story ever again. I move on. If you constantly go back to a posted fic, I think you get stuck. But that's just me. :)

You'll be fine!
