Lizet's Place

All parts of Restaurant at the End of Piikoi Street are now with my beta and I'm waiting to hear back from her.

the final pre-beta word count is ~15,616 words!



also have graphics being made for this as well.

I'm excited to see what the final produce of everything is going to look like!

You guys! I’m…umm…confused.

I’m trying to wrap up this casestory fic, but it just won’t end.

It’s already to 14,096 words and I haven’t even caught the bad guys! I've identified them, the good guys know about them, but I don’t know HOW to get the police to the point of catching the bad guys!

And I really need to get this ending to my beta ASAP.

I probably just created more work for myself, but I printed out the first 2 parts (15 pages) of my casestory fic and I'm editing them with red pen. but that wasn't the reason I printed them out. I wanted them so that I could easily refer to them while working on parts 3, 4 and 5 and I didn't have to continually open the documents for those parts. once i finish part 3, I'll print that out to help with part 4 and 5...later, rinse, repeat until the story is complete.

Then I'll go through and transfer the corrections from the hard copy to the digital copy and email to my beta (huntress69, will you be able to look over 10-12k words? I don't know when I'll be finish with it, but I hope I'll be done in the next 14-15 days)

working with the hard copy of this fic reminds me of editing essays for school...or how I used to hand write my fics back when I first started writing in 2002. and also reading this out loud has me feeling better about the story as a whole. not quite as much self doubt and comparing going on.

I have to remember this fic I'm working on is past tense. I need to get in the habit of writing in that form, but I keep slipping to present tense.

good thing this fic will be beta read before I post it.

In an hour, broken up into two 30 minutes blocks, I wrote 650 words (or there abouts).

you know how when cookie cutter houses are built and the community is give like a fancy or idealistic name, like Rainbow Acres, or Rosewood Farm...I don't know, something like that.

anyways, are those called housing developments? this has been bugging me for the last hour lol

and this is partly to blame because I'm still thinking about the new Five-0 thing I posted about last night.





time is running out for me to get the last bits of my rough draft for casestory down. I need to have 7,000 and I'm over that mark already, but I want to wrap some scenes up so now I'm not sending it off without anything too incomplete. I seem to get work done for it in 500 word increments ever day. Have to e-mail it off on Tuesday, so I'm hoping to get a lot more done today and tomorrow.

I always get a bit of a thrill when I see that someone's bookmarked one of my stories on AO3

now I will concentrate on my next writing project. Restaurant at the End of Piikoi Street for casestory. I need a 7,000 word rough draft or outline for unfinished scenes by May 1st. I also really need to work out where and when to put this background information I created. I worked the hardest on the before actually starting on the story, and I'd really hate for it to end up on the cutting room floor, so to speak.

working on Restaurant at the End of Piikoi Street for casestory



Last night it was 4,208 words

I wrote 396 words today. My goal is 1,000 (a day). Just 604 more words! I can do this.

With one fic done, it's time to concentrate on my next task. My casestory fic.

I feel like I should be further along than I am...but then I realize the reason I feel that way is because of how detailed my outline is. Once I actually devote time to expanding the outline so that it's actually the story, I will get farther.



Let's see how many words I can get done in the next 28 days...

so I'm reading a fic and it gives me an idea for how the last art of my casestory fic!

I had a general idea of what I wanted to happen, but didn't know how I could go about executing it, but the fic I read gave me the idea.

yay!

I hope I'm able to get roughly 2000 words out of the idea. I seem to be pretty long winded when it comes to this fic, so I probably shouldn't worry too much about that.

wouldn't you know it...I got this idea for part 3 of my [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] fic and jumped right into typing it up. There's also smut. I didn't think I'd be writing smut for this particular story, either. After 30 minutes, I had the part complete!

now I have to go back and work on part 2 and make sure the ending works with the beginning I created for part 3. boy am I doing this writing thing backwards! Once I finished part 3, I worked on the ending of part 2. Wasn't so hard since I knew what was going to happen. So I have the beginning and ending of part 2 done. Now for the elusive middle lol

eta: sign ups for round 2 of hawaii_bigbang will be March 9-April 30

I'm plotting and I still don't know if I really want to do it.

who am I kidding...I probably will. It might be a fusion. I'd really like to do that.
