Busy beyond belief
It's really not any different than it usually is at the beginning of the semester, although I'm in another new school this year and that always takes a little time to get settled. I'm having fun, at least? It doesn't feel awful, just busy. But it means I haven't gotten to do any writing for a week, and I'm so freaking antsy. I just can't justify spending a couple hours writing when I have three presentations to prepare, on top of usual lesson planning.
Maybe this weekend... sigh...
Donutverse writing goals, oh dear.
May is such an awkward time for writing. I can't seem to settle down to any one thing. The other stories are too shiny. Not to mention my writing goals go out the window when there are so many other cool things happening in my neighborhood. (Super Mario Kart and Rock Band tonight on the big community screen with ten of my neighbors, aged 6-50.)
But I am recommitting to one goal for the rest of the summer: 1k Donutverse a day, every day. I will accept the occasional missed day and make it up the next, but if I can't write 1k a day, I'm not actually doing anything. And if I don't do this, I won't finish this story before the show is over, and that would be unacceptable.
Considering I have zero ability to stick to any daily goals at all ever, including brushing my teeth, I'm asking all of you (that would mean YOU, the person reading this, yes, I mean you) to help keep me honest about this.
I am dangling the following delicious carrots in front of my nose:
A pair of custom-made leather pants for finishing FoYF before the end of August.
A new tattoo for finishing Dying in America before Christmas.
My goal is to be done done done with the main body of the Donutverse by next May. I don't know enough about what my life will look like next year to know what kind of carrot would be appropriate for that, but I'll come up with something.
*sigh*
Apparently this was not a good night for wordcount. I guess I'm still recovering from last night. But at least I did get FoYF posted. I'm looking at my other stories and the new ones coming up, and wondering if I should set FoYF aside or keep barreling through it. At this pace -- about 40k/month -- I might actually finish it by spring.
Writing
The words are coming so slowly, but they're coming. One Jyder chapter, that RPF that's been in my head since last spring, and now FoYF. I haven't tried to write Finn in the Donutverse yet -- thank god I wrote his birthday story in May, or I don't think it ever would have come to fruition. It all feels cumbersome and awkward, not to mention depressing. *sigh* I just want to get through this freaking episode, but I have at least fourteen scenes to go.

today
was one of those days when I was absolutely certain my words did not matter. I looked at everything I was writing, and I just stopped. I gave up.
