Weekly Check-In Post

How is everyone doing this week? Writing coming along well? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!

For those of you who like to procrastinate by reading other people's writing tips and who could use a few more words on that Big Bang draft, I recommend How I Went From Writing 2,000 Words a Day to 10,000 Words a Day.

For those of you with a lot of spare time, there's the Absolute Write thread Learn Writing With Uncle Jim. It's geared more towards the professional-novelist side of things, but it's still good advice.

Hope you're having fun!

Well, I probably won't finish the standby if I can get this second idea I had to work out. (the first idea is absolutely refusing to cooperate) *g* I don't think you can post two stories for a big bang, can you?

I don't think you can post two stories for a big bang, can you? I'm guessing not unless you've signed up for two - but at least you have the work behind you so defaulting is much less a possibility. And isn't it strange and maddening how sometimes first ideas, or what you originally planned, just... stop cooperating... Gah!

Yeah, that's sort of what I figured. But hey, the standby will get finished one day if I don't need it for this year... maybe for next year. *g* I really, really didn't want to have to bow out.

It's so frustrating to get an idea... and then be totally unable to complete the damn story. I'm determined to get all three stories done... sometime in the next decade. *g*

It's one to a customer! LOL! We love the enthusiasm of two stories but with the time constraints and the need for an artist for each writer, one per person works best.

*g* I wasn't even half seriously contemplating posting two stories, so don't worry about that! I'll be ecstatic if I can get ONE story completed on time!
