[Bunny #1] Make a List

[kalloway]

Make a list.

Of every fic/art/icon/whatever bunny you have that you would like to write/create sometime in the foreseeable future. This includes bingo cards, big bangs, comment fics, exchanges, random plotbunnies, sequels, etc.

Detail it if you want to. You can be as vague as you like. No one ever has to see your list but you.

Do it either in your own journal or in a notebook or in the comments or whatever. I usually find one of those blank notebooks I bought with high hopes and then never quite found the words to put in it. They're really good at holding lists.

You can organize however you'd like - ficlets together, epics together, or by fandom, or by what they're for... But one list, in one place.

Take your time. Look through old notebooks, textfiles, e-mail, journal entries... Round up everything.

And hang onto that list. You'll need it.

(I am a 'sense of accomplishment' person, so I'll list even individual chapters on separate lines. Putting a check-mark beside 'Exciting Space Adventures Chapter 7' feels good, even if I'm immediately adding 'Exciting Space Adventures Chapter 8' to the list.)

I tried making a list last night when I couldn't sleep - I got to 50!!! and scared myself so stopped writing things on the list. I have a smaller more general list that says due dates for fics with deadlines and lumps smaller bingo type challenges into groups - saying x fics of y words each by z date and then how many I've managed so far. It looks slightly less frightening than the broken down version!

Today was another day when I didn't get time to write though - it's already 11pm and I haven't finished my work preparation for tomorrow or ironed clothes to wear for work yet - which I'm off to do now.

Wow! Are they all more or less still at the idea stage or have they developed into something more already?

I have about as many, but I'd say 80% are idle fantasies that will never see the light day.

So organized~~ Are you counting a bingo card as one, five, or twenty-five? Because those can really add up. ^^;;

Hope you get work-stuff done. Last week I was running around doing laundry at 11pm just to have something to wear, so I compleeetely understand.
