Okidoki, this is the worst timing evah! *lol* Still traveling through Asia, but I also have actual work to do atm and I'm off to Seam Raep tonight to see the great Angkor Wat for at least three days. I understand that leaves very little time for writing. I'm still gonna try though, cause some words are better than no words and hey, maybe Angkor will inspire me, yeah?

hp_sexstars Not quite finished: Final Word Count: 9321

My Total Word Count: 3625 (for me that's good)

[bridenore.livejournal.com]

Checking in! I really need a little push forward.

New project : 0

[bridenore.livejournal.com]

Checking out with 748 words written. I was hoping for more, but I kept getting distracted.

[khasael.livejournal.com]

Tentatively checking in (tried that last time, got a whopping zero words written, heh)!

Fics I might be working on at some point during this war:

1) hp fest fic that has EATEN MY LIFE
2) hd_hols fic
3) inception big bang
4) late b-day fics (this is actually #4, #5, and #6)
7) cracksmut fics/gifts (actually, #7, #8, and #9)
10) charity fics (#10, #11, #12, #13)
14) any of the Suits fandom WIPs on my drive (#14, #15, #16, #17, and #18)
19) hd_remix
20) hpchallengefest fic

Er. That's a horrible list. It doesn't even include all of the things that have deadlines or are long-overdue, re: deadlines I set myself/birthdays. Priority is #1, followed by #2. Anything else worked on will be when I take a break from writing the versions of the characters/universes in fics #1 and 2. Also, list not in order of priorities, except the first two.

...We're just gonna take the easy way here, and start my total at zero words. I have a handy excel spreadsheet to keep track of this sort of thing (and now you all know why) 0_o

ETA: ffs, my comments have a zillion words. Why aren't they in my fics?

[khasael.livejournal.com]

Checking out of this war (late as usual, sorry) with a grand total of 2168 words.

Ugh, weekends are AWFUL for me and writing. Stupid work schedule.



(Of course, I was off today, and I've managed over 5600 additional words since 1pm, and am still going...)
