[Bunny #3] No.

No. Nope. Not this time. Not today. Nah. I don't think so. Not a good idea. Got too much going on...

I am on pretty much ever fandom/community promo list I can find, because I really like new things and knowing what's going on in general. So yes, I see a lot of temptation. That's because there are a ton of great communities/bingos/big bangs/fests/etc. out there. I'm never going to say that you shouldn't sign up for any of them, just that moderation is a good idea, too.

When given the option, I am a huge fan of 'sleeping on it' or waiting a few days to see where I fall on the spectrum of 'uncontrollable excitement--|--can skip this one'. I'm actually surprised how many times I can safely delete a sign-up bookmark, wish the fest/big bang/bingo the best of luck and put that energy elsewhere.

How do you decide what projects to sign-up for? How do you decide what projects not to sign-up for?

This is also a weekly check-in! You do not have to check in, of course, but if you would like to comment on the last week, feel free! (And my apologies for it being a couple of days late.)

I only sign up for small exchanges between a group of friends, and those don't happen very often. Not really helpful to anyone who wants to participate in Fandom At Large, but I figure with four big writing projects looming at all times (for the past several years), not giving myself a big, high-pressure other Thing To Do is good. Too many of those and none of them get done. (Also, I'm more a fanartist, so there are a lot of exchanges I can't participate in in the first place. :P )

I've been making a teeny-tiny bit of slow progress on one of those four projects this past week. In terms of pure wordcount, it's nowhere near done, and it's more side parts than main writing, but I'll take my victories where they happen, especially since it's side parts that do need to get done rather than fluff/filler.

\o/ Sounds like you're making good progress. ^_^
