I should be working and concentrating on my Spring Fling fic (I've only gotten 1100 words done in the FIRST PART and it's due towards the end of April)

( fic writing babble )

and all of this leads me to going to bed at a somewhat decent time (before midnight)!

Good night...and have a pleasant tomorrow.

it takes longer than a day or two for John McGarrett's murder to be solved, and that's what I'm doing. With the help of Magnum...sort of.

It's going to be a part of a new series I'm working on. A Hui Hou Kakou (Until We Meet Again)

stevedannoslash Spring Fling 2012 fic 1,000 word was the minimum. my goal was 5,000. I'd say I surpassed that! Final due April 16

7580 / 9000 (84.22%)

casestory fic rough draft due May 1st, but then there's another month or so before the final is due. Minimum of 10,000 words

3938 / 10000 (39.38%)

I've really fallen behind with this fic. I should have as I have it all plotted out any everything, but I keep falling back on the Spring Fling fic.

hawaii_bigbang fic 8,000 word rough draft due June 17. 10,000 word final due August 20

317 / 10000 (3.17%)

laughable what I don't have written. Like at all. Well there are my notes, but those aren't complete thoughts or scenes.

serialkillerbb fic I have my bare bones outline for this. I haven't given this anymore thought since I signed up 10 days ago. Rough draft due July 15. Final due September 1

0 / 10000 (0.00%)

I'm so anxious for this first story to be complete and to find a beta, but it's so hard for me to get through it.

I'm fairly certain it's difficult because of my muse. I have a bare bones outline, but I almost think I've taken on more than I can handle, but I've gotten so much done. This is like a precursor series to my big OMG CROSSOVER that I keep teasing...

but I'm so excited about it all. From the title of the series, to the title of the individual parts, to the title of the story this one leads to (the afore mentioned OMG CROSSOVER)

2 more scenes and part 1 of my Hawaii Five-0/Magnum PI crossover will be complete. I don't know if I have 8 yr old Steve right, but it's something. After will be 16 yr old Steve. I'll be watching the beginning of 214 and possibly ~~taking~~incorporating some dialog from that episode to the beginning of the story

Further plotting out my fic for

stevedannoslash.

The minimum word count is 1,000 words, but it's looking like mine will be at least 5,000 words!

Also, finally found a GREAT use for all the little decorative notebooks I get as gifts. They're excellent for jotting down random notes or when I need to do some quick math. Now one of them has become my All things Hawaii and Hawaii Five-0 related notebooks.

rough outline of a (past) Steve/Catherine, Steve/Danny fic

outline for my Hawaii Five-0/Magnum, PI crossover

outline for my Hawaii Five-0/Magnum, PI/Murder, She Wrote crossover

dream Hawaii Five-0 meet up notes (set in September around the time when I think SotB will occur for season 3)

outline for casestory fic

outline for stevedannoslash Spring Fling Fic

And I also have all these fic outlines saved on my computer, but having this notebook allows me to write down ideas when I don't have access to my laptop. I just have to remember to transfer the written ideas to the ideas I have on my computer.

I sure do seem to do a lot of planning, but very little executing of the plans I've created.

I do! and I'm crazy enough to mash a couple of 80s tv shows with a reboot of a late-60s tv show.

Thus we have E Malama He Kane Hewa'ole (To Protect an Innocent Man)

Just watched the pilot episode of Magnum, PI and it gave me an idea for the 4th/final story in my Hawaii Five-0/Magnum, PI series.

( i babbles about tv shows that give me fic ideas )

I don't know what happened to NOT working on this until the summer, but when inspiration strikes, who am I to shelve it for 4 months?! It might not want to play later if I do that.

now time for sleeps. I have a few things to do before my 1 pm Community Legal Center tour.

I don’t know how this became part of my writing “process” but it is. When I know I’m going to write a new story that’s going to be a part of a series, I think of a cover art for the series. So I start looking for pictures to use, a title for the series and then I make the cover art.

All night I’ve been thinking about the Magnum, PI and Hawaii Five-0 crossover (and I think I might have had a dream about it as well?), so after I had breakfast, I started looking for Tom Selleck images to use – mostly of and older Tom that I could use as present day Magnum. Then I’m going to go through the screencaps from last week’s episode for pictures of John and Steve.

I have the pictures sorted, but I’m stuck with coming up for a name for the series. I have it tentatively titled as “The Hawaii Chronicles” with the first story titled “The Coolest Man I Know”. I’m not too fond of the title for the series, but I can’t think of anything else…might hold off on making the series cover art until I can come up with a better title.

having a rather interesting discussion/story building time here. The blending of Magnum, PI and Hawaii Five-0.

I have this whole world built up. Thomas & John were friends from Vietnam and crossed paths later when Magnum became a PI and John was a cop. Also, Steve probably snuck around Robin's Nest and got cornered by Zeus and Apollo.

Having a lot of fun playing 'what if' while I work up the nerve to actually WRITE THIS. wanna join? here or there.
