If You Set Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever), Are You Progressing? not since yesterday. I hope to finish part one of my auror fic today, but I'm so tired, I don't know if I'll write anything.

Even just a few words are good!! Power nap and go for short bursts of writing in between, maybe?

Projects Worked On: "Haven't Forgotten My Way Home" (my TW WiP)
If You Set Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever), Are You Progressing? I posted the first chapter of my WiP to AO3. I spent a lot of time going over what I've got for dracotops and talking to my alpha, trying to figure out how to fix it. I think I'm ready to roll on it. I hope. *fingers crossed*

“You’re not saying anything useful!” Stiles twists, but he can’t get away this time, and the panic starts rising out of nowhere. He can’t get his daughter safe, he couldn’t protect Cass, he doesn’t know what he’s up against, not well enough to save them. He wheezes, trying to suck in breath through a throat gone tight, and he feels the darkness trickling into the edges of his vision. Hands clench as he gasps futilely, and his knees go weak, folding beneath him.

He is picked up, pulled in, face pressed against Derek’s shoulder as the blackness claims him. He can’t do anything but shake, trying desperately to gain oxygen. Little tiny hitches of breath as he shivers, shuddering hard enough to make his bones ache. He has held off the panic for so long, and now it settles in and wraps him tight, trying to choke the life out of him.

There are footsteps in the distance, soft sounds that mean nothing to him but movement. Stiles’s fingers twist into the fabric of the body that holds him, taking it as an anchor. There are words, but they seem far away, muffled sounds of random meaning. He lets his eyes close and tries to remind himself: in through the mouth, out through the nose. Slow. Steady. Each tentative breath comes on a steady heartbeat, and finally he finds one that fills his lungs. He holds it until it aches, then lets it out with a soft hiss.

Sounds slips back in.

[deirdre-aithne.livejournal.com]

Wow, lots of new words! Hurray!!

James decided that being an omega really sucked. No, it more than sucked. It was a nightmare that not even he could have ever imagined. It was like getting sucker punched in the testicles and having your nipples twisted until you cried, all at the same time. Yes, that was exactly how it felt.

[traintracks.livejournal.com]

Teddy/James, A/B/O? OMFG! Write, woman! Write!

[freakingcrups.livejournal.com]

Writing! And it's even going to have Harry/Draco as a background couple. :D

[traintracks.livejournal.com]

Score!!!

[deirdre-aithne.livejournal.com]

*giggles at the snippet* I love it. Oh wow, do I love it! xD I want to read this fic! (and yes, blame ALL TEH THINGS on kitty and her enabling, because she's lovely/evil and likes to drag us all into the shiny things)

[freakingcrups.livejournal.com]

Yay! This is the first in a long time that my inspiration is going wild over.

Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)?WHY THE WORDS NO COME?!

[deirdre-aithne.livejournal.com]

Might I suggest making use of the Write or Die web app (http://writeordie.com/#Web+App) to see if it helps the words come? That's my usual fallback when I'm having issues getting the muse going.

[pretty-panther.livejournal.com]

I'd forgotten all about that app but ahhh worked so well :D

[traintracks.livejournal.com]

I quite enjoy rewriting nowadays. I don't even mind massive rewrites if I know where I'm going with it.

Best of luck with everything you're working on! :-D

If You Set Other Goals Are You Progressing? Most definitely, unfortunately the progress is leading me to realize there is a bigger story to be told.

Dearest Harry,

One hates to begin a letter with a worn-out cliche but I fear I must...if you are reading this then several events have occurred. I am dead. Tom Riddle is dead and his Horcruxes have been destroyed, most certainly by you and your most loyal and brave companions, Ron and Hermione. Happily, you have survived this final confrontation with Riddle. And, finally, events have occurred that require that Aberforth must reveal my Pensieve memories from tonight that I will entrust in his keeping....

[deirdre-aithne.livejournal.com]

Ooo, I'm intrigued by the snippet! Keep up the words! ^_^
