I signed up for Kink Bingo. I don't know to what extent I'll really participate, but I just love the idea; it sounds like so much fun! Plus, I thought that instead of some of my woe-filled rambles, it might be good to use those little fics for my Write or Die warm-ups. (I use WoD for warm-ups before 'real' writing sessions, just to get in the flow ( Read more... )

So, I'm back to work on my Big Bang. It continues to move slowly, but I'm hoping to dig in deeply now that a few stressful things are out of the way. (Of course, there are always more stressful things on the horizon, but whatever ( Read more... )

I'm drowning, knocked down by waves of doubt, pulled harder and harder by the undertow ( Read more... )

What was meant to be my Big Bang fic has now surpassed 20,000 words. Nevertheless, it's quite a ways from complete ( Read more... )

I never do this, mostly because I'm not well known and figure that few people will have anything to say, if any at all. However, I'm curious ( Read more... )

Food has come to play a central role in my Big Bang story. Not food porn, but food, its preparation and consumption. I thought at first that it was a self-indulgent thing, and it is mostly, as I love food, and the things I describe in the fic are ones that I've made, eaten, or want to make and eat.

I'm working on my Big Bang, or what was meant to be my Big Bang, still. I'm at about 14,000 words so far, and I'm hoping to finish the first draft by the end of next week.

I've taken the advice of Anne Lamott and wanton_erato to write a shitty first draft. "Just write for the paper basket," Erato said. With that in mind, and with the help of Write or Die, I' ( Read more... )
