I have been sucked into the massive black hole of procrastination. And boy does it suck.

I must be severely lacking in the self discipline department - despite having a pretty in depth game plan for exchange fic now, I'm still not making progress with any actual writing. Or is it that I have an inflated sense of my ability to 'work better under ( Read more... )

So obviously, I have not been around much. Yes, it was the aliens again, why do you ask? I have been skimming and lurking for the past week or so, just so I was slightly caught up with the happenings of LJ world and my flisters - hope you are all well! To save words and boredom (chiefly, my own; in RL, my sentences sometimes trail off cos I get too ( Read more... )

Yes, I know it's coming a bit late - this exchange, everything I do seems to be woefully belated - but now that the reveals have been up for a while, I wanted to take the time to express my gratitude to a couple of people. This round, I haven't been able to read much and thus, sadly, have not been able to appreciate the readers and artists as I ( Read more... )

Right.

So basically, I disappeared off the face of the earth, crawled under some far-flung obscure rock, festered away in a uni-room-sized hole, got abducted by RL aliens and may also possibly have been swapped for a weird changeling creature whilst I was sleeping - the thought of which is mildly disturbing.

However, I have been resurrected. Read: it ( Read more... )

And if you have already done so, for god's sake, READ IT AGAIN.

That is all.

1. THE EXCHANGE HAS STARTED! And already three goodies have been posted in sshg_exchange  I am so utterly gleeful. Literally, cannot wait till tomorrow for moarrr.

2. The exchange_bingo is running surprising mini rounds. This means I might be able to play afterall - YAY! Err. Scuffs toe. This might be a good time to work on the gift I owe from last round of  bingo. *Hides ( Read more... )

Yes, I had to ask for an extension. :(

BUT unlike before: I have a wonderful beta who works at the speed of light; I have a mostly complete outline of the plot; I've written more than 20,000 words; and I have to have to finish a draft of the fic by the beginning of August before I leave for holiday... so I'm feeling optimistic. (Sod, spare me. ( Read more... )

Yesterday, a pigeon pooed on my right shoulder. My first time. It was warm. My friends, after laughing heartily at my expense, told me it was supposed to be good luck.

I am still waiting for this luck to appear.

In other news: bleh. We all know about procrastinating from doing an activity... for example, getting down to it and writing your exchange ( Read more... )

Pitiful exchange participant, could pass for a writer if you squint hard. WLTM experienced beta with grammar skillz, speed and GSOH. Looking for a fun time. Will settle on anyone with low expectations.

So basically, I seem to now be using all the powers at my service to avoid working on my exchange piece. Considering that I have the interwebz at my ( Read more... )

... I was literally there for 12 hours. (Nothing but Harry Potter could have got me out of bed and on the train that early, I promise you.) Eight of those twelve hours consisted of standing in the same bloody spot and being pushed and shoved around and pushed, and rained on... oh yes, the rain and the cold and the aching bones... To top it off, I ( Read more... )
