Man, I wish I had a time turner! Life would be so much nicer.

Schedules never seem to survive impact with real life for me. I can make them all I want, then something will change and poof, out the window it goes. So I just do my best to fly by the seat of my pants.

HAhahahaha, yeah it does, however it also pays you and buys you nice things, such as heating, food and well, nice shoes ;)

I need to finish this before Carnival, because I plan to be too out of my head on booze to be able to beta anything XD which means I need to be finished editing at least a week before the actual deadline.

*Squishes* Thanks for your encouragement, Hon! <3

[talekayler.livejournal.com]

I suppose those can be see as upsides. xD As well as having a house over your head and internet so we can get these lovely writing things...

Go, Go, Go!! *\o/*

[wantsunicorns.livejournal.com]

Right? I thought so too. I always go with Xander and Anya on this one "A job give Xander money, money buy Anya nice things!" XD

hehe, yay!!

I wrote over 4.5K today, but am leaving the rest of the scene for tomorrow, because I've become ridiculously slow and am making too many mistakes and I'd probably better spend that time tomorrow on writing rather than editing something I was too tired to type up properly.

*Squishes*

1. What are your writing goals for the week? (projects to finish, word counts, etc?) I took my skip on slythindor100 this week so I don't have that to work on, but I want to work on the H/D fic that nenne is helping me with. I wrote a couple pages of something Albus/Scorpius in longhand so I want to type that up and see what happens there, and I found a thing on my computer that I wrote a long time ago, that was sort of supposed to be Harry/Ron but could be changed to Harry/Draco. I want to see about that. And I joined ass_ldws this round too but it's not even full yet, so I doubt we'll get prompts real soon.
2. What is your goal for the day? I'll be happy to get 500 words a day and I doubt it would happen most days. But I'll try!
3. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects? Multiple. None have deadlines except the drabble contests.
4. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges? Nothing except the drabble contests. I'm resisting signing up for prompts at any of the fests so far at least.
5. Have you made any progress or had any pitfalls? Progress? Not really. I've been really busy at work and my dad is putting down new floors in basically our whole house, so home isn't ideal for creativity either right now.
6. Do you have any snippets to share? This is from the thing that is Harry/Ron right now:

Spells were flying in all directions, and as Harry ran toward Ron and Hermione, who stood nearly back-to-back, facing down two Death Eaters, his foot landed wrong. He felt something twist and tear in his ankle. The sickening pain brought him to his knees, but Ron and Hermione needed his help. He couldn't let them get hurt.

Harry saw a spell pass Ron by much too close for Harry's comfort. Ron Immobilized the Death Eater who had sent that curse, and Harry got to his feet again, groaning as his weakened ankle twisted again and something else tore. He started toward his friends as fast as he could, which in his present condition wasn't very fast.

Harry saw the spell hit Hermione just as she started to raise her wand to Stupefy her attacker. She dropped without a sound. Ron blasted the Death Eater with a full body-bind jinx, then Harry was running toward them, suddenly mindless of the pain in his ankle. He and Ron knelt beside Hermione's too-still body. She moaned when Ron slid his arms under her, preparing to lift her. Her eyelids fluttered but she didn't wake. Harry hadn't recognized the spell that hit her and he was afraid to try moving her in case moving her would make whatever damage had been done worse. He remained kneeling by her side for a few moments, but leaned over when her eyes opened.

And the Al/Scorp thingy:

Scorpius likes Al's house. It's much smaller than his, and not everything matches. There aren't any ancestral portraits always admonishing him to act in a manner befitting a Malfoy, but there are always lots of people there. It's loud and crowded, and Al's crazy uncle George is always making something explode. Al rolls his eyes at all of it sometimes, but's smiling when he does and Scorpius knows he really loves it.

Scorpius wasn't sure he'd be welcome here, but when he'd told Al he didn't really want to go to Sardinia with his parents over Christmas hols, Al had immediately owled his mum and dad and asked if Scorpius could stay. They'd said yes by return owl, but Scorpius' dad had insisted on Flooing Al's dad to make sure it was okay. Scorpius supposed it was a good idea -- he wouldn't have put it past Al to forge the note from Mr. Potter.

Sometimes, I worry about what you base your promises on. xD

[sordid-humors.livejournal.com]

Yup! I've laid down two 6k chapters (32 & 41 minute recordings) in 3 days, which I guess isn't too bad.
Now, if only I could write the things as fast as I can read, record and remaster them....

[sordid-humors.livejournal.com]

...that takes skill, man.
*claps*

[undrsomestairs.livejournal.com]

That's great! Much better than where I'm at.

[undrsomestairs.livejournal.com]

<3! Homework is laaame.

[wintervixen86.livejournal.com]

I always panic about leaving big bangs too late... I like to work on them and add bits at a time, that way I'm not panicking near the due date.

[kitty_fic]

*flails with you* Let's write all the words!

[khasael.livejournal.com]

Yay, returning muse! I wonder if ours ran off together and were busy being naughty or something, because mine's back for the first time in weeks, and now she wants me to write smut in the fic that wasn't going to have any!

[khasael.livejournal.com]

Yay for writing buddies! If you're around tomorrow, I might ping--I should have a few hours to dedicate to writing, with most other people living in this house gone for school/work.

And thank you for nudging RL away--it seems to have worked! I think I wrote more in the last 4 hours than I have in the last week and a half, combined! ♥

[undrsomestairs.livejournal.com]

Understandable, haha. I was starting to think mine wouldn't happen, but I think I can manage it now. Hopefully. I've only ever successfully done one big bang before, so it would be nice to do this one too!

[wintervixen86.livejournal.com]

I've done one other too.
I think big bangs are so interesting because so many people sign up and barely any finish. At the piratebb, 38 people signed up and only 5 finished. I thought that was so amazing! I guess writing is one of those things that a lot of people start with good intentions but rarely have the drive to finish.

[undrsomestairs.livejournal.com]

The pirate big bang about pirates or about kurtofsky? xD Must be the one about pirates, there were quite a few finishers for the kurtofsky one. Though, like you said, not as nearly as many as signed up. Not that I can say anything, since I was one of those who signed up and didn't finish. Sometimes writing's easy for me and sometimes it's really, really not so I definitely start with good intentions but...

[wintervixen86.livejournal.com]

It's definitely something you need to dedicate yourself too.
And yup, I'm talking actual pirates.

I ship kurtofsky though... I dunno if I could ever writing a big bang about them, but I love the idea of it in the show just to shake things up a little. I like Klaine, but they need a bit of drama.

[sordid-humors.livejournal.com]

Hope you start feeling better soon! <3
