[Bunny #3] Bunny Management

[kalloway]

Just a reminder - this is your community, too. Feel free to use it to ask for advice, vent, commiserate, celebrate, etc.


So. We've been here all month. \o/ We have made our shiny lists and looked at our shiny lists and a few of us have possibly even despaired a bit over our shiny lists before remembering they are shiny lists of awesome things we're gonna write/draw/create/etc.


Let's talk about how things end up on those lists this week.

What makes you add a plotbunny/project/idea to your list and keep it there? Do you write mostly for bingos/exchanges/challenges? Do you take requests? What inspires you? Do you maaaaaybe keep a few more ideas than you should or realize they need a little (or a lot) more work to become a proper story?


And since we're at the last post for the month, it's time for list revision. You are free to look over your list and remove anything that you've realized isn't working for you. There is nothing wrong with keeping all your bunnies, of course, but it is also okay to let go.


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!


If you have a deadline coming up, you can do it! If you need a deadline, feel free to ask!

I revised my list, now with shiny color coding to keep myself on track. I've forcibly stopped myself from joining any more bingos or challenges or big bangs because it always ends in tears. I've got original stuff on the list which are to be written for sale, and I use the lure of "and then Amazon and iBooks pays you money" as the bribe to keep going on them, but it's hard. Fanfic is easier by far, and I'm deep in a truckload of headcanon for my fandom right now, so I keep having ideas.

Freshly diagnosed/medicated ADHDer and woooo, it's making a heck of a difference in my ability to both work on things and switch between things without dropping all the balls! I've actually written and/or drawn every day for the last week, not counting the two days I was down with the stomach flu, which is phenomenal and gives me hope of getting the list actually done instead of just despairing over it. I'm averaging between 500-800 words a day.

500 words a day is fantastic- at that pace you'll have close to 200 thousand by the end of the year

You can do it!

Wow... I hadn't done the math, and it's amazing how encouraging the lump sum is! Now to just keep going! ^_^

That's a great writing pace! And I salute your ability to stop joining challenges, because I have some programming loop that says if challenge then accept. >_>;
