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.)

Sounds like you're doing brilliantly, may it continue to be so for you.

Thanks. I've done pretty badly so far this week, actually, but I hope I can sprint to the finish of my Verbosity word goal. Good luck to yourself as well!

(I thought that WIP Big Bang sounded awesome, BTW... and then LJ inexplicably marked my signup comment as spam. :( That was a highly disappointing welcome. Hopefully the admins can sort it out.)

Hope things were sorted out - I find LJ very unpredictable these days, I'd much rather hang out here on DW, but the mods of the comm seem friendly from what I've seen so far. I got a nice message when I pm'd my contact to them. Hope they sort everything out for you.

Between the nice mods and a complaint to LJ, it looks like I'm good to go now. :)

Seriously. After using LJ for ten years (most of them as a paying user), I got so fed up with their shenanigans that I dumped them for DW over a year ago. Haven't regretted it for a second, and I can't imagine why every last (non-Russian) LJ user doesn't make the switch. But I guess now I'll have to remember to check my LJ friendlist for WIP Big Bang posts. :Þ

If you want I can try to remember to poke you when I see something. I switched 2 and a half years ago - I only keep the LJ account now for signing up for things - my feelings on why don't people all switch over here is pretty similar to yours,I think. Good luck with the writing!

I moved my LJ friendlist link to a more accessible place in my favorites, so I think I'll manage with remembering to check it. :) Thanks thiough!
