How is your Supernova coming along?: It's still in its plotting stages, but coming along nicely there.
Have you encountered any obstacles? How are you working with them?: Just me having to settle on an idea and making sure I can work with it. XD
What is making you excited about your story right now?: That it's backstory for one of my favorite characters.
Current Word Count (If you'd like to share): None.
Shoe Size: Um, my actual shoe size or does this mean something I'm not getting? Lol, I'm a 6 in US womens'.

A backstory? What character? I love backstories.

[synnerxx]

Tig Trager from Sons Of Anarchy. :) I love 'em too and this show is kind of frustrating in the way that it doesn't give much, but other than that, it's a great show.

[disturbinglynic]

Haven't seen it but it's on my list. Maybe by the time these post I'll have watched it.

[disturbinglynic]

60k is an excellent word count. Congrats on that :)

[welfycat]

Sometimes giving yourself a little time to settle back into the process on a wip is the best thing you can do. And maybe rereading won't be as bad as you think, you might be surprised about what you already have.

Good luck!

How is your Supernova coming along?: Really well, I was worried I wouldn't be able to meet 100k, but whenever I sit down to flesh out the outline more, my energizer plot-bunny keeps on hopping. If this keeps up I might make it to 150k :)
Have you encountered any obstacles? How are you working with them?: School! But I'm trying this crazy new thing this semester called, 'scheduling my time' so hopefully that will help.
What is making you excited about your story right now?: I've got a couple of OCs that I threw in on a whim, but now I'm loving them to pieces
Current Word Count (If you'd like to share): 2,607
Shoe Size: Um, 9W US, yeah, they're like spades :P

[disturbinglynic]

Ugh. I'm W too. I hate it. It's so hard to find nice shoes.

[welfycat]

That's absolutely fantastic! I hope your energizer plot-bunny keeps on going and going (and going)!

Great job and good lucK!

[emeraldsnakes]

How is your Supernova coming along?: I have basic outlines and various plotty things but nothing more cohesive than that.
Have you encountered any obstacles? How are you working with them?: Everything's an obstacle until school finally gets really underway and the muse is in happy land.
What is making you excited about your story right now?: Um.
Current Word Count (If you'd like to share):
Shoe Size: 8. Also, I love this. and you elfy for making this a question.

[welfycat]

Hahahaha, that question was all acey. :) ♥

[emeraldsnakes]

Well....I love you both

[welfycat]

Love you too, always ♥

How is your Supernova coming along?: hm, so-so P: actual snippets amount to barely over 2k, which is tiny, but I've got the general plot outlined and once I have an outline, the writing is just a matter of making time XD
Have you encountered any obstacles? How are you working with them?: orz this week has been terrible for writing and I still have the 9/15 competition to make :'|
What is making you excited about your story right now?: well it'll be my first slash story over 5k |D also demon in one of my protag's heads! \o/ (sh, half the time things happen because I think they're cool okayokay everyone should just look the other way and ignore my crazy please /o\;; )
Current Word Count (If you'd like to share): LOL well like I said above, my actual word count for supernova is only about 2k? hm, I'm probably behind schedule already, but I wasn't really expecting to have much done until like November, when my schedule starts clearing up [squints]
Shoe Size: hrm. 7-8 US womens (tends to vary a bit by company/style, so

[disturbinglynic]

Yeah, this one is on hold for me to for a while. I've got to get some of those other big bangs out of the way first.

[welfycat]

Sounds like fantastic fun! And don't worry about not really getting started until later in the months. We purposefully left this with a rather wide window for writing time so that people could be working on other projects when they needed to.

And having an outline helps a ton!

Your snippets are great!!! I really like your writing style.

Good luck with your 9/15 project!

[shadowpup88]

eep, all right, this week has been bad for finding time for stuff that isn't school (other than, oh, more school XD;; ) but I wanted to know if you and Ace could possibly post the friending meme tomorrow instead of on Friday? :'| (unless it's no longer the friending meme, then ignore me XD;; ) I'll be out-of-town from Friday to Sunday, likely without either Internet or the time to use it, and I'd like to at least put a post down so I can reply once I'm back /o/

um and will properly reply to this comment later tonight/tomorrow orz /o\;;
