I AM HAVING THE WORST TIME LIKE, reconciling the prompt and the actual story and what I want to do and the style of the book and how that works with MY style and basically just getting starting is like, REALLY DIFFICULT ;_;

And I, too, have something else to write when I'm done with this :( But hey, you got your Private Practice story done!! I BET THAT FEELS GOOD.

OMG RIGHT? Same heeeeere. Because the prompt actually has very little to do with what I actually offered. It's based on such a technicality that this one was even assigned to me AND SLDKFJLDSf. Probably I will just write the fic I know I can write, and hopefully my recipient will not hate me??? /whine. Ummm when we are both writing and freaking out tomorrow, maybe we could rant at each other a little BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I NEED THAT. This, right here, this is therapeutic.

When's your other one due? AND YES. I DID AND IT IS SUCH A RELIEF.

Yeah, that's probably the best way to go. That sucks though! And I know what you mean! I kind of wish I hadn't offered this particular fandom, because like, I love it, but... that makes it worse? I mean, it's not some silly TV show, I have to do it justice, and... :( But this theraputic! BUT! In a minute I am going to have to open Q10 and ignore the internet.

I... forget, it's for a ~secret santa~ thing [livejournal.com profile] adinfinitum's doing. I imagine I will have to be done by the 23rdish? Although if the going gets tough, I might end up picspamming instead. WE'LL SEE.

I totally understand; I would NEVER be able to do something literary like that. You get definite props for braving it. But I bet it'll turn out great! ~Believe in yourself.~ YES YOU CAN.

Ignore away! I will hopefully do the same. What's Q10...?

Google it, it's a fabulous writing... program that takes up your WHOLE SCREEN so you cannot flip to firefox every ten seconds.

I'M SORRY YOU'RE SO WILLING TO BE A PAWN IN THE GRAND MICROSOFT PLAN :(

I'M SORRY YOU FIND IT NECESSARY TO FIX THINGS THAT ARE NOT BROKEN.

I'M SORRY YOU THINK THE CONVENIENCE OF EASILY SWITCHING BETWEEN WINDOWS IS A GOOD THING WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO GET WRITING DONE :(

I'M SORRY YOU FEEL THE NEED TO PROJECT YOUR OWN TENDENCY TO GET DISTRACTED ON YOUR DILIGENT FRIENDS. :(

LOLOLOL, OKAY, YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT ABOUT THIS ONE. (I'm... 10% done? :D?)

But Microsoft Word is still crap.

LMAO, I love that you folded when I was SO CLEARLY TALKING SHIT, considering I am the POSTER child for getting really sidetracked. And am perhaps 2% done.

Except that it actually is wondrous.

WELL I FIGURED ANYONE WAS BETTER THAN ME. I... have 153 words! 15%! ...if only technically. I WAS SO MUCH BETTER AT THIS DURING NANO, BECAUSE IT DIDN'T MATTER >:(

I'M SORRY YOU'RE RESISTANT TO CHANGE :(

Heeee way to use Mr. Work Ethic himself. Who also happens to be my premiere fictional husband.

Edit: I'M SORRY YOU'RE RESISTANT TO CHANGE :( This is, in fact, absolute truth.

Hey, ARE YOU ACTUALLY WRITING RIGHT NOW? How would you feel about word warring with me for 15 minutes (do you know what that means???)? :D?

From: [identity profile] stop-theworld.livejournal.com
A) I am ~brainstorming~ :(
B) Now that I am home for a month, I can't spend six hours on the computer every night anymore? D:
C) I don't know what that is.

But tell me what it is and maaaaybe tomorrow if you are around and I am around?

I WANT TO BE FINISHED TOMORROW :(

Has your internet been fixed, btw, speaking of being home?

And basically it's taking 15 minutes and racing to see who gets more words done in that time. Competitive spirit is really sadly good for me :(

NVM THEN. Go you! Goals are good!

Soooort of? Two people can be on at once now, but wireless is still nowhere to be found.

I feel like I would lose. Or else I would win, and then delete every word I wrote. And yet, it sounds oddly appealing!

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD:

It's seriously the best way to get your word count up. It's so productive! And I doubt you'd delete everything. It's better to have a crappy backbone to go back and edit than thoughts about how ~amazing~ your prose is going to be and an empty page, THAT IS WHAT I SAY.

I will admit to the truth in this statement. Nonetheless, I must now go to bed. :( GOOD LUCK. Let's see how far you've gotten when I awake!
