* Twenty-one straight days of website updates (two header/etc. edits, one 'new to the site' fic). \o/

* Working on finishing up Dragon Big Bang fic. Basically, I had to step back and re-write an extended summary and some little details popped into place and now I know why everything is happening, which I sort of embarrassingly didn't know and figured would y'know, turn up if I just kept writing. So yeah, ready to tackle that tonight/tomorrow.

* Just did a massive canon review for Dead or Alive and realized that the reason I can't finish the ficlet from like six years ago is that I'm just coming at it the wrong way entirely and need to approach everything differently for it to work and that's sort of a huge relief, really.

- I want to write a lot more DoA fic now, because DoA5 just... yeah.

Wrote and posted a "How to Train Your Dragon" one-shot in the space of about three days. Also continued to nudge along my current chaptered WIP of choice.

Now contemplating the start of a long-considered crossover one-shot that a friend wants to see (and that would fill a trope_bingo prompt). I'm even tempted to start a certain Epic Sequel Of Massive Massiveness that's been in planning for three years, but I really should finish at least one of my two larger WIPs that are on their climactic scenes.

Last week I wrote nearly half again my word-count goal at verbosity. Goal for this week is 4,000 words... of which I've written only 300+ so far. Which means I need to get cracking.

(Mainly I just need to give myself a solid chunk of writing time that will let me get into the flow of the story properly. Instead of, you know, getting distracted by other things until I only have the time and brain-energy for a few hundred words.)

Although I got a reasonable number of words (not as many as I needed but not too far distant) what I didn't get was any real progress on the things I needed to get written. I've signed up for the wip_bigbang on LJ in the hope of adding yet another impetus to finishing one particularly huge crossover story that is probably 2/3 written at least, but that I just don't seem to be able to figure out the ending.

I'm hoping for some sort of progress in the coming weeks on anything that actually needs to be done!
