How is your Supernova coming along?: I'm happy with how it's coming (even if it's slow) and where it's going.
Have you encountered any obstacles? How are you working with them?: I've got like twenty big bangs I'm signed up for so... yeah.
What is making you excited about your story right now?: EVERYTHING!!!! I love what I came up with for this story and I'm just super excited about it.
Current Word Count (If you'd like to share): I think it's only around 5,000. I plan on writing a lot of it in December.
Shoe Size: Um, I think seven.

Also, I'm hosting this week's round of gsd. You guys should really come check it out! It's so much fun. http://gsd-rtfn.livejournal.com/34656.html

Wow, looks like your'e doing awesome!
And thanks for the gsd reminder, I didn't realize sign-ups were still open.

Do you mind if I include your link in the main post?

[disturbinglynic]

Please do!!!
And sign-ups started today because there was an issue with access yesterday.

5k! I calculated at the beginning that you only need around 560/day to reach the WC in the time slot so you're right on track/can take it easy for a bit, even :)

Also gsd sounds really fun, but I'll be busy for the next week and won't get to write -- maybe I can do it next time? Good luck with your, uh, 20 big bangs...

How is your Supernova coming along?: really well! black_goose and are writing pretty solidly :)
Have you encountered any obstacles? How are you working with them?: Not really, at this point at least. Still working out a fair bit of the plot as we go along thoug.
What is making you excited about your story right now?: I just finished writing my part a day or so ago and now I just want to see what black_goose is going to write in her bit and how she's going to deal with what I left her with :D!
Current Word Count (If you'd like to share): I think I left it at around 12.5k?
Shoe Size: 6 in Australian!

(And I'm off to bed, 5.22am, ewwww.)

[disturbinglynic]

Nice word count! Good luck :)

[almostkiwi]

Thank you! Good luck to you too :)

[welfycat]

It's really interesting to see how you're writing together! I've never really cowritten with someone before, so the process is fascinating.

Glad to see that you're doing well, great job, and get some sleep!

How is your Supernova coming along?:Well, it isn't, really. I have plenty of ideas, but haven't really started yet. (No story is really started till I hit the 10K mark, because before that, there are too many things that can go wrong).
Have you encountered any obstacles? How are you working with them?: My main obstacle is called "life", closely followed by "getting distracted by the internet" and "getting distracted by knitting".
What is making you excited about your story right now?: The possibilities. So many things I can do with the ideas I'm playing with. It's scary, really. It could be amazing, or it could fall on its head.
Current Word Count (If you'd like to share):Pathetically low...
Shoe Size: UK 6 (in case anybody would like to knit me some socks LOL As if I hadn't knitted enough of them myself already...)

[disturbinglynic]

I am not talented enough to knit socks. Scarves however...
:)

[kelticbanshee]

Oh, if you can do scarves, socks are just one step up! Just need to find a way of doing heels and toes that work for you, but it's mostly knitting in the round :)

Scarves are good as well... I once knitted a Tom Baker scarf (from Doctor Who). NEVER AGAIN. That thing ate 6 months of my life... Are you on Ravelry by any chance?

[disturbinglynic]

I've never knitted in the round before. I don't know how :(
And since I don't know what that is I'm going to say no.

I did knit my mom a purse once. That's my NEVER AGAIN.

[disturbinglynic]

Very nice word count :)

[welfycat]

"Pointless" soundtracks are fantastic. Sometimes I find that having a set playlist can do wonders for my writing experience. It's really neat that you do a bullet point of thoughts, that sounds a lot like an acting method that I've heard a fair amount about. And yay angst!!

Great word count!

[kingdra]

How is your Supernova coming along?: Uh I actually changed my mind about a bunch of stuff so now it's gonna be Draco/Harry lol /o\ Already at 8k words, not quite sure how I did that
Have you encountered any obstacles? How are you working with them?: WRITER'S BLOCK but I force myself to write, so!
What is making you excited about your story right now?: It's all completely outlined! \o/
Current Word Count (If you'd like to share): 8,000ish
Shoe Size: US women's 9... I have big feet

[disturbinglynic]

Writer's block sucks :(

[welfycat]

Ouch, writers block is rough, but great job! 8k and a complete outline is utterly fantastic!! Great job!
