Maybe that wasn't such a good idea...

So, I went and joined getyourwordsout . Perhaps not the smartest move I've ever made, but I did it. We'll see how the year goes, both family-wise and writing-wise.

In doing this, I also figured I'd clean out my old writing files—I have tons of files of stories I've already posted, and who needs those around, right?

But I found some really fun beginnings to stories that I'd like to finish, so on top of the series I haven't finished, I'm going to try my hand at getting these little one-shots out, too. Just for on those days when zombies and Old West superheroes seem a bit overwhelming.

Like I said we'll see how this goes. First up—a half-written I Spy (the real one, with Robert Culp) fic. Should give me today's 410 words! Yay!

I think....

Ohh, good for you! Best of luck to you, and I hope all those bits of ideas work themselves into some great fics! :-)

We shall see. I found a trio of fic-spits (what I call snippets of one scene, written to remind me of the main point of a story I intend to write) for stories that were going to be part of a Mag7 ATF bingo for hc_bingo. Not sure the Ezra one is salvageable (he and Vin are both REALLY OOC in it), but the Chris and Vin ones could be written...

Good luck in accomplishing writing this year. My goal is to actually finish my poor lingering, languishing stories of the past *cough16cough* years. Always sending good thoughts Up North!

I'm sure I don't know what you mean *eyes the date of last edit on a Word doc from 1999*

Gotcha beat...6/3/1995, X-Files. I was in XF fandom all of 5 months, yet there's a WIP on my hard drive. *hangs head in shame*

Yeah, okay. You win.

Light, 75K words
Modest, 150K words
Basic, 200K words
Moderate, 250K words
Difficult, 300K words
Insane, 350K words
Ludicrous, 500K words

I love those rankings. I know some people on KBoards who claim to spit out 50k every two weeks so what's the level above Ludicrous? In-fucking-Sane? Anyway, good luck!

[deannie]

I guess I chose Modest. Because yes, I have indeed disgorged 50K in a month, but... I'm not completely In-fucking-sane.

I think. :)

Must find a little time to write today. Kelly is sitting in a waiting room pining for Scottie. This cannot continue.

I've managed 27k since November and that's pretty zippy for me. I aspire to 50k in a month!

[deannie]

Ugh. I just don't know that I could do it with what's going on in our lives right now!

It'd be kind of awesome, but... no.
