I haven't been writing this much lately - bad me! I really should get back to it. Is anyone else still working on theirs, or have we all bailed out fir lack of inspiration
( Read more... )
My only official big bang so far as been Crow on the Cradle and I hadn't get consciously added another one to the list, but I now suspect that the Prison AU is likely to reach official big bang status as it now around 22K, so there's a good chance of it making 35K now.
I really need to get my arse in gear and make major inroads into the plot of this story - it's about 18000 words plus now, and hardly gone anywhere yet :-O I'm glad I made reasonably detailed notes on the plot, as I'd never be able to remember it now if I hadn't!
The prison fic has been a bit on the back burner as I've been doing those drabble series. Plus I spent time yesterday and today trying to work out where Munchkin and I had got to on Silk and Steel. Today is 6 months to the day after she had her fall. It was good to go back over what we'd done. There are 9 chapters almost in the bag for that.
I'll hopefully get back to the prison fic next week.
Are you still trying to write something every day?
It's a shame RL has stopped you from writing lately :-( *kicks RL*
I hope to make some more progress on mine fairly soon, now that I've got some of the birthday stuff I owe squared away. Then again, I've got several other WIPs clamouring for attention... Perhaps I should assign a day to each of them and only write them on that day, with Sunday as a wild card :-D
I was bad, and forgot to reply to this comment! *hangs head*
Perhaps we should have a try at reviving discussion on the BB comm, in the hope of kick-starting some muses.
I keep adding bits to my BB, but I really need to make a big push to get it really rolling again, and I have loads of other fics that I have more chance of finishing as my BB is going to be really loooooooong!
This is the trouble, isn't it? There's always something first. This is where you really need a schedule, deadline, goal. Otherise it just goes to the bottom of the pile for months.
What about a 200 word goal every Sunday? LOL. I mean, once you get started, you might not stop, but at least if you add 200 words every week, it will *eventually* get finished... *does a quick calculation* A 50,000 BB would take 4.8 years. LOL!! To be honest, I was expecting longer :P
That might not be a bad idea, actually - at least it would get the plot rolling again, and at some point I might be able to concentrate on it more. I know what's going to happen - have done for the past three years so far (I think it's three, certainly two!). I made sure to write down the whole thing when I first had the idea, because I knew the chances of me writing it immediately were slim to none.
I just need to regain my enthusiasm for it, I suppose. I do wish Dougie hadn't been so bloody plankish about the show! I love the bloke otherwise, but really, I do want to thwap him when I think of how it could have been if he'd stayed till the end of S3...

My big bang is on a very distant back burner and likely to be for the foreseeable future.

I just don't seem to have had time for ages to work on mine. I know where it's going though.
