Intro - Kalloway

[kalloway]

Hi! I'm kalloway. And I'm not just president of the hare club; I'm a member, too.

I have a long plotbunny list. I keep it in a half-sized notebook, which gets copied over whenever it fills up. I don't have the list online anywhere, possibly because it's hard enough keeping up with one version of it. Most everything on it could be written in under a thousand words and I think a whole chunk is actually a drabble sequence or something. Right now it's sitting at 770 with about 70 checkmarks, but I am also still compiling.

This year, I want to finish off some editing projects and work on a lot of long-dangling multi-chapter WiPs. I can apparently write three chapters of anything before getting distracted by the next shiny thing...

I also want to write a few hundred of the short things, which sounds sort of like a ridiculous goal but at this point I don't know if that even covers the lurking bingo cards...

Mostly, I write for various anime/manga and video game fandoms, though I write some original and semi-original/meta-fiction stuff too.

My main problem is that my brain is pretty much always zipping along at warp-speed. That means that even though I'm supposed to be finishing a nearly-done (and quite due) story for Project 1, it's already thinking on Projects 2-5 and wanting to review canon and ramble and generally ignore Project 1 because that's so five minutes ago! So aside from vast quantity of projects, I'm working on refining my abilities to focus. ^^;;

I look forward to chatting with everyone who's returned from previous years and getting to know everyone new to the comm. I will do my best not to accidentally breed any of my plotbunnies in your direction. ^^;; results may vary

As always, the sheer volume of your creativity astounds me. (That, and your organization!)

I'm so happy that you founded this comm. ♥

[kalloway]

(*looks at pile of notebooks spread for a couple of square yards around desk* Organization what?)

[silverr]

But you write everything down, and copy things to new notebooks!

To me, that's organized. (Not to mention like, pulsar-level amounts of creative bubbling, sheesh.)

[kalloway]

I still don't think I have 'everything' down - I just found an old notebook full of stuff that was a complete-ish mystery the other evening, whoops? But I try.

It's been about a decade in the making. I can get anything right, given enough time. (Well, okay, yes, that.)

I also feel thankful for this comm!

Often, I think of my to-do list and remember how you always posted every week about your accomplishments. It helps me to remember that one day at a time should be my goal, instead of trying to do as much as possible on one sitting and getting burnout later. ^^;

I think the main thing that got me thru the website updating/header project was being able to say 'made it another week' on here. And that I wasn't feeling burned out even though I was getting so much done.
