had a weird night's sleep.

had a dream I was at a football stadium with my sister and her oldest...and there was like a swap meet or flea market going on? I don't even know. lol but we were going to see a game (I guess it was football since we were at a football stadium) but the seats were facing away from the field and she was all "these have a perfect view of the game" and then the rest of the family (to be exact, my mom's cousins' family) came and took their seats.

and then I woke up.

Now it's 7 am and I'm gearing up to post my spring fling fic. I bet you guys will be glad when I post it so I can stop talking about it lol. I've only been talking about it since February lol

Doing the final self edit before sending it off to my wonderful beta.

with about 2 weeks until posting for Spring Fling at [livejournal.com profile] stevedannoslash, should I be worried there isn't a post up to choose what day you want to post on?

In fact, no mention of the Fling has been made since prompt claiming opened in February.

[livejournal.com profile] 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%)


[livejournal.com profile] 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.

[livejournal.com profile] 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.

[livejournal.com profile] 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%)

Got home about 30 minutes ago from the Palm Sunday/Easter Dinner at church. so tired.

And...read all the waiting fics from while I was out. Not that many. I think maybe 3 or 4.

I was supposed to have my [livejournal.com profile] stevedannoslash Spring Fling fic done today to look for a beta. That didn't happen. Just started writing part 4 (last part) last night. Will have to work on the rest of it this week and find a beta. 15 days until they're "due"

so sleepy. I mentioned that already, didn't I?

gonna put something on netflix or hulu and knock out early. Alarm goes off at 730 or so Monday morning and I have to be at the courthouse by 9 am

so...

Steve is just as smitten with Danny as Danny is with Steve. it's cute. and Rachel is apparently all for them being together.

I'm so enjoying these last bits of writing this fic.

nothing says "I love my ex-husband" like trying to help him admit his feelings for his male work partner.

eta: I've decided to cut one of the parts of the story out and leave it for a timestamp. the fic still pretty much follows the prompt I chose, but one of the could include... elements will be a timestamp.

and the courthouse is closed tomorrow. Cesar Chavez Day. and the only work I have to do is at the church, which I may wait until Saturday to do, but why put off for tomorrow what could be done today. I'll try not to spam on Friday and Saturday anyways.

I'm not even finished with this and I already have "timestamp" ideas.

what is my problem?!
simplyn2deep: (Default)
I'm working on the final 2 parts of my [livejournal.com profile] stevedannoslash Spring Fling fic. Well really the last 3 parts, but one part I'm almost done with. I think maybe another 1,069 words and I can say the part is done.

My original goal was to have it done by April 1st and that could very well happen, but this weekend is going to be a busy one as I prepare for Palm Sunday Dinner at the church.

This means, I probably won't be able to work on it Friday and Saturday, so I'm hoping that by April 7th I'll be done with it, giving myself an extra 6 days or so to work on it.

In a week I need to send my [livejournal.com profile] stevedannoslash fic off to my beta, but I still have 3 more parts to write.

It's not due until the 16th of April, but it's pretty long, so I'd like to give my beta enough time with it and still have time to make changes before the final draft is due.

Time to hunker down and get these last parts done!

last night I was supposed to have written day 6 for [livejournal.com profile] dailyfics but I was just too tired. Now today I need to do day 6 and 7, but surprise surprise, I'm too lazy. They're good prompts too. I have ideas for them, but I'm just lazy.

I've also slacked on my writing for my Spring Fling fic. I have quite a bit to finish in the next 2-3 weeks. I feel some time jumping is in order to get it all done in that time. I shouldn't have slacked off. *hangs head*

I've been watching Top Shot (a show on the History Channel) and it had me thinking about how the Gov (Jameson or Denning) would have pit 5-0 against other state's task forces to see which state has the better marksmen amongst them. The competitors got to use some awesome weapons on the show! I think last season, they got to use a cannon! Like the ones used in the Civil War! One season, they got to use a gun that was used for shooting around corners (or I could have been dreaming that?)! I could picture Steve and Kono having a fucking blast in a competition like that!

OMG it's super windy out too! I hear my neighbor's windows rattling (or it could be mine?)

Giving myself 20 more days to finish my [livejournal.com profile] stevedannoslash fic. Wrapping up part 2 right now and hopefully will start on part 3 sometime this week. This is looking to be 13,000 words. I don't know how it's managed to go from a min of 1,000 to my personal goal of 5,000 to a possibility of 13,000. I guess I'm that long winded when I put my mind to it lol

Still have some time to go before my rough draft for my [livejournal.com profile] casestory fic is due. It's due May 1st, but I'd like to be finish with it at least 10 days before that so that I can find a beta. I think by the time I'm finished with it, it'll be close to 14,000 words (I wasn't aiming for anything above the min. I just wanted to make that mark of 10,000) and I'd want whoever betas it to have as much time as they need to look it over, and I'd need the time to make the corrections.

It's getting to crunch time. I'm going to be busy the next 2-3 months and probably into summer as well.

I think the reason I was stressing, so the speak, about my [livejournal.com profile] casestory fic was because I was thinking of all the 10,000 words I have to write instead of thinking of it as 5 individual chapters that have to be at least 2,000 words. THAT I can do no problem. Once I find my groove, I just go.

Since I've broken it up into the 5 parts and outlined what each part is going to be, I can now concentrate on my Spring Fling fic. I'm on part 2 of 5 for that one. the first part I easily wrote 2300 words...and then some. So this one is coming along nicely.

umm favor?

Would anyone be willing to look over the first part of my Spring Fling fic and tell me if it's okay...or if it sucks...or if something needs to be taken out.

It's about 2,300 words and I'm starting on the second part, but I'm not sure about the first part.

I could really go for about 10 street tacos right now. Okay, so maybe not that many, but omg I want some!

But I'm broker and broke. Less than $1.00 to my name and it's not Taco Tuesday where I can get them for like 50¢.

I'd even go for some Taco Bell, but it's the street tacos I really want.

In non-food related stuff, I decided that my fic for the Spring Fling at [livejournal.com profile] stevedannoslash is going to be 5,000 words because the set up to the actual prompt is nearly 1,000 words. Then I also decided that each "part" is going to be 1,000 and will cover pretty much the entire prompt. I'm having a lot of fun writing it and doing some research for it.

Further plotting out my fic for [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] casestory fic

  • outline for [livejournal.com profile] 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'm tempted to not go into work on the 17th to ensure I get one of the 3 prompts I like over at [livejournal.com profile] stevedannoslash...or at least I won't go in until I'm able to claim one of them.

like I said, it's silly and there's still no sure fire way to ensure I get the main one I want.


BUT I should really be concentrating on my other fics. I can't say that being sick is a factor, because obviously I'm well enough to be on the computer right now.
