Thanks. I'm working at it...thought I'dve cracked it by now, but you know.
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

Well, wri mo is over. Did any of us make it? I sure as hell didn't.

Any hope of making it died with my grandmother, sadly.
I just had too much shit hit the fan at once. I managed about 129 words.

If I only had a brain...
I got 15,000 words and a plot I'm really happy with; I took an idea I'd been toying with at bedtime, and it turned out to have legs.
So by my standards, yeah, I won.
Not by theirs, of course....

Also, last month was the Migraine Month from Hell, the Week That Topamax Ate My Brain, and other unpleasant stuff. So excuses? I got lots.

I got about 15K too...Impressive for me, but not 50,000 words/month.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I like the fact that people came out of it with plots, and the seeds for new ideas.

Oh, Betsy, that's great! Glad to hear it.

I definitely did. And I'm really going to get serious and stop treating it like this faintly embarrassing hobby...but not too serious. And I did write something every day...although I think maybe I had too many balls in the air...probably sometimes literally, writing so much fic and that too, but I have to feel like I'm taking time away from something or it won't happen. Right?

erika, the switching between fic and fiction gave me a genuine taste of what juggling several brightly coloured, rather heavy balls in the air above my head must be like.
But I'm all about you treating it seriously.
