Here's today's prompt for your writing updates and for any extracts, thoughts, or comments you might have.

Keep the fires burning! :)

Another ~280 rough words (consistent, anyway), nearly but not quite to the end of the second scene (of four). I edited yesterday's and I'm much happier with the way the thing is going now. On the other hand, not half way yet and time is running thin.

Still, steady progress. The terror of deadlines! Inspiration will probably pick up speed as it approaches. ;-)

Inspiration on this one has been scarce. Note to self, don't get wheedled into entering an exchange when your muse is nowhere to be found, especially not in a fandom you've never written before!

Ah yes. This has happened to me before. I'm sure you'll be able to provide something good, whether you're happy with it or not.

At the moment, I'd settle for something finished!

Nothing about this story is working out well, sadly. There again, if I can finish it that would be good, after the year I've had.

Glad to hear the editing helped, and more words added too! I tend to need the push deadlines give me, but it's no fun while they're looming. Hope things go well today.

Thanks. I tend to need deadlines too, but I'm very good at stalling till they're almost on top of me, and then panicking.

I took one of those useless internet quizzes: what kind of procrastinator are you. I came out as crisis maker :D

I think I'm all kinds of procrastinator rolled up into one Big Procrastinating Ball^TM :)

Time always runs thin, but progress is always progress!

Progress on this is particularly welcome. It's been a bit of a beast.

Sounds like you are making good progress! Good luck getting finished in time! :)

Thank you!

It's still progress. Good luck with the rest.
