What is this timeliness from the mod? Is she ignoring her NaNo?

Aaaand, another update-

Sleep schedule is mostly fixed. Clearing 9pm easily and hitting close to 11 most of the time. \o/

13k behind on NaNo, which is certainly not impossible. I may well end up with one of my most epic catch-up graphs ever.

Two exchange fics are done and posted, though unrevealed so I may do one last pass of edits today or tomorrow. That one last read-thru sometimes makes all the difference. Might still do a treat if words cooperate with me in the next day or so and I'm not hurting too badly with NaNo.

Still haven't reached THE END. ;___;

You can do it!

1,200+ words down on my fourth hc_bingo prompt! YES! :D It's already ended up a lot longer than I expected, but there isn't much more to go, so I expect to easily finish it this week. That will keep me still comfortably on track to write the final prompt and complete my bingo by the year-end deadline.

Other than that, if nothing comes up to distract me at fandom_stocking (kind of wondering if they'll even be running this year), it'll be back to one of my bigger WIPs. Doubtful I could finish it by year-end, but it would be nice.

(I hear you on the sleep schedule. :Þ Think I've mostly gotten mine straightened out now, but I could still use a tad more discipline... especially to not let my brain shut down when impending cold weather hits.)

I think I heard that Fandom Stocking was going to run, but it's getting late, isn't it?

(My natural inclination is apparently to hibernate.)

[jordannamorgan]

If I recall correctly, there's usually a quick note in early November or so to say Fandom Stocking will be getting underway. That hasn't happened yet, and there hasn't been a reply to a couple of comment queries. *shrug* Nothing to do but wait and see.

By the way, I wanted to ask if you minded my posting about something. A couple of years ago, there was a community on LJ (project_finish) that was amazingly useful for giving one's self a writing incentive--but its mod posts simply stopped about two months after I found it. :Þ Ever since, I've wished someone would create a new community based on the same model. There are reasons I can't commit to running any comms at this point, but... perhaps a post describing how very helpful it was would inspire someone else to do it?

(Seriously, "earning" the right to save each week's little graphical token was a huge motivator to write the word count I set for myself. I'd love to have a carrot like that again now...)

Not sure if you saw, but there was a note on it today~

Go ahead! There's also a community called something like create_my_comm (look in my profile for the exact name) that you can ask on and someone might make it over here~

[jordannamorgan]

Saw and cheered. ;D Already got my stocking wishlist written up and waiting...

Oh, that's an interesting community (of which I was unaware). I think I'll start by writing up a post there, then.

Urgh! This story just goes on and on - now past 51,000 and still going. I am failing abysmally to have time, energy or inclination towards Nano, not even as a Nano rebel (which is really sad). I'm going now to throw a few more words at the fic that just goes on and on and hope that I really am one more step closer to the end.

[kalloway]

You can do it!

(I just always stop giving two figs about whatever I'm writing right around the 35k mark. Which is exactly where I currently am...)
