Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)? Most of the unwritten scenes have been blocked at least, so it's just a matter of writing them down. The hardest part, you know?
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc.)? I need to get this done to graduate! Why did I wait so long? *headdesk*

Date: 2012-03-01 10:33 pm (UTC)Projects To Be Worked On: YA short romance, harlequin, big bang
Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)? the editing :) I HATE EDITING. Oh and script out the next scenes for harlequin to make it easier to write. That'd be helpful.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc.)? did i mention that i hate editing? I have no idea when I'm going to write for this, but hopefully I can find some time between the basketball, tkd, and other family duties *sighs*
I am starting out at 1388 already written for today before this starts, so anything after that is for the word war!
