Three Big Bangs are not going to happen.
I took a hard look at the werewolf story this weekend, and it needs real work if it is going to be worth the investment, and I already committed on that one. Plus, I'd like to finish it, in the spirit of sharing the porn, and I'd prefer it be good, not crap. So I'm going to really put the effort into making it NOT SUCK.
On top of that, I'm not half-way through the homeless piece and I've gotten to the point on it where I really, really need to do more research, so trying to finish it by March 31 looks hopeless. Well, not hopeless, but probably unrealistic.
So. Ghost story is in good shape. I have to write the Sunday lunch scene and I will have a really good second draft to polish in the month the artist is working. I'm setting aside the homeless story as my after Big Bang project. Not to worry - with 8000 or so words written, it will get done, I just want it to be good. Also, since I don't have a word count goal, it frees me up to decide whether or not I really need to make it go long, or if I can let it lie at a shorter, possibly better for my brain, word count. We'll see.
I'm going to spend the rest of this month making the werewolf story really good. I'm more or less at the required word count already. I got some really amazing feedback yesterday from![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
princessofgeeks that I think will let me get a handle on what I want to happen. (Probably one should not launch on a story where one has no idea what one wants to happen. Really. None. Just some advice from one writer to another. :D )
Which leaves the poor, poor MPREG. *pets it* Presuming I don't get some amazing brain wave between now and finishing the homeless piece, I think I will break out the baby pictures, wallow in motherly nostalgia for when AG33 and The Barbarian were really, really tiny, and then try to bring that project to a happy conclusion. It deserves to be finished. *hugs it too*
