1. What are your writing goals for the week? (projects to finish, word counts, etc?)
Minimum 1,000 words a day. I want to finish my hp_prisonerfest which I am struggling with and work on anything else on my TO DO LIST (http://wintervixen86.livejournal.com/33078.html)

2. What is your goal for the day?
5k :)

3. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects?
Multiple. A mix of fanfiction and original.

4. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges?
Yes. Oh my god, so many. See TO DO LIST (http://wintervixen86.livejournal.com/33078.html)

5. Have you made any progress or had any pitfalls?
I've made heaps of progress this year so far. I'm up to date, haven't needed any extensions. I was in Melbourne last week for the tennis, so I couldn't write as much as I wanted, but I am still up to take with my getyourwordsout pledge.

6. Do you have any snippets to share?
From my original fic:

Teal looked around the club. It was close to three in the morning and Villenova was packed. Hiding in the shadows on the far side of the room, Teal watched with barely suppressed revulsion as sweaty bodies writhed together on the dance floor, washing down drugs with alcohol and anything else that happened to be cheap and making its rounds. Teal spotted pills, powder and liquids in various colours, sometimes being dealt but mostly just passed from hand to hand. Sharing was evidently caring at Villenova.

As far as nightclubs went, it wasn’t the seediest room she had ever been in. Villenova catered for a younger clientele and Teal could almost feel the unleashed excitement that hovered in the air. There was nothing quite like a room of recently deceased twenty-something’s hyped up on the type of narcotics that could be bought and sold freely without anyone else saying otherwise. Teal imagined that could be somewhat liberating after a lifetime of rules and obligations, but these souls weren’t here to party, they were here to forget.

Your to-do list is intense! Good luck with all that writing! Also, we're both doing gleebang! Fun!

[wintervixen86.livejournal.com]

On the one hand it's daunting, but on the other it's kind of exciting :)
What are you writing about for gleebang?

[undrsomestairs.livejournal.com]

A Kurtofsky/Seblaine AU Supernatural fusion. Only have 2K right now, so I have to write quickly! xD Your to-do list said yours is Klaine?

[wintervixen86.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I was considering writing Kurt/Finn but I ended up using that idea of the hc-bigbang :)
So yep, working on a Klaine... I'm at about 11k...

[undrsomestairs.livejournal.com]

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

[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.

[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.

You're an inspiration to us all! ♥ Get all those words! *\o/*

The snippet sounds really interesting!

[wintervixen86.livejournal.com]

Thanks muchly :D
2012 is my year of writing!

[kinky-kneazle.livejournal.com]

I love your snippet! Very intriguing... and good luck with everything!

[imera.livejournal.com]

Maybe I should write my own to do list, easier than opening my calendar to see what comes first :P Good luck, both on that on your goals :D

[wintervixen86.livejournal.com]

Thanks!
And yes, I definitely recommend the to do list. I have mine up all the time. It feels awesome to cross stuff off :)

[imera.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it feels awesome, like a mini orgasm, lol. Ok, so my mental to do list is to write a to do list :P

[wintervixen86.livejournal.com]

Good list :D
