Do I even know how to do this anymore?

[brainofck]

5:30am on a Sunday morning.

FIL is sleeping upstairs. Baby squawked, talking in her sleep about her granddaddy. I slapped the parent unit off, threw on enough clothes to be warm and got up. But it was just a little grumble, not a big wake up. So I snuck downstairs, ate a bunch of Christmas cookes, drank some Mountain Dew, put on some banned music, and hunted up my project that I want to finish no later than Jan 16.

It feels weird. I'm not even sure I know how to do this anymore. But I almost got sidetracked by two *ancient* WIPs in my Fiction file. I think that's a good sign. :)

I suspect we are the only people in the world who are awake right now.

If I may ask, what are you working on now?

[brainofck.livejournal.com]

Hello! But no, I have been chatting up a storm with luck_sometimes! (Sorry, was not monitoring this g-mail. :( )

Crossover of doom! I want it done BEFORE any of the shows in question come back.

Heh, s'alright.

Good plan. But when will there be more vampires? *begs*

[brainofck.livejournal.com]

There will definitely be more vampires, and (relatively) soon. My only active WIP. I think. I'd like to get that weight off my mind.

[melayneseahawk.livejournal.com]

Awesome!

I wish I only had one active WIP. I've got a dozen things--at least--that I poke at on a semi-regular basis. I just sent a fic off to beta, and I had a brilliant idea how to fix a plot hole in another while on the edge of sleep a few nights ago, but I think I've forgotten what I came up with.

I've got several WIP type things, but they are all stashed away on my computer, or so old that people have given up hope. *sigh*

Bunny Euthanasia for Halloween, anyone?

i'm writing this morning, too. *solidarity*

[brainofck.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, I killed a fair amount of writing time researching Miami four star hotels and appropriate handguns for Jack. *rolls eyes* Though now I know about the 9mm v. .45 debate AND I know exactly how Jack would resolve it! Just carry one of each! :D And I started out writing first person POV, and I'm hating it already. It may have to be changed.

*pom poms*

research totally counts as writing. And I think Jack is a 9 mm guy, hands down. But that's just me.

*pom poms*

I have no strong feelings about first person. I have loved it and I have loathed it. I rarely write it, but that's not exactly on purpose. Go you!

[brainofck.livejournal.com]

Well, apparently, the argument is between the large number of rounds you can put in your 9 mil v. the "stopping power" of a .45. This one guy said he resolved the issue by carrying a 9mil in his shoulder holster and a .45 around the back.

That is TOTALLY what Jack would do. Or the equivalent. :D

I was writing, but then I got eaten by Youtube.

[princessofg.livejournal.com]

ahahaha. *falls over*

me, it's blogs and old fic by other people. and the link lists for all my various blogs and ljs.

I can reread old fic for HOURS. *cracks whip at self*

[melayneseahawk.livejournal.com]

Dude! So can I. It's terrible. Awesome, to revisit old friends, but bad for my productivity.

I'm not even sure I know how to do this anymore.

You definitely do! You just need to redevelop (or more like redesign) that space in which you used to write so comfortably.

And...uh, vampires? I need to go digging in your journal.

[brainofck.livejournal.com]

That would be Bright, Rich, Sweet (http://brainofck.livejournal.com/tag/vampire+story). :D Please note that it is WIP. Also, part 3 does not connect to part 4, you will need to go back to the tag set.
