Tart: 300 words
The Novel: 350 words
Random C/R: 1,000 words
Other C/R: 2,750

TOTAL: 4,400

Original fiction fail this week. But I may have hit on something with HSMBB. Or not. It's not really plotted and I already know what I've got has to be edited down because they keep repeating themselves, but whatevs. We'll see if I get bored with it.

( snippet of non-BB fic thingie. this would eventually be smut. )

This week...

- The Novel: 800 words
- Tart: 1000 words (almost half of which were deleted...)
- HSMBB: 800 words (all of which *will* be deleted, sigh)
- Tweenage post: 900 words on SK (not counting anything cowritten with Jess today!)

TOTAL: 3,700

Hm, well, not as much as I'd have liked, but I was pretty freaking busy AND, more importantly, all the stuff I wrote on the novel was actually good, which I have been striving for. It's nice to have at least some writing I won't be deleting. This week, I'd really like to finish the Tart chapter, while I'm concentrating on boybands elsewhere anyway. Beyond that, we'll see.

The Novel: 600 words
Fun New Project: 2,100 words
HSM Big Bang: 2,600 words
Off the Clock: 1,500 words
TOTAL: 6,700

Do I really have to go back to work next week?

(Actually, I could have been way more productive, but at least I feel things vaguely resembling creative juices flowing for the first time in awhile, which is nice.)

This week:

- Slight work on Fun New Project: 500 words
- Very slight work on Tart: 300 words
- HSM AU: 1,600 words

TOTAL: 2,400 words

I've been really unproductive lately, clearly. It's for a variety of reasons, but I'd really like to snap out of it. I'm on vacation this week, so hopefully that'll help.

That thing where I was going to write more this week, uh, didn't happen. I was super busy with reading (first two books I had to finish before bookathon, then, on the weekend when I usually do the bulk of my writing, well... Bookathon).

What I did manage was about 1,000 words of fic -- right, because with HSMbigbang happening, what I need is another semi-epic AU. Whatever, it'll be awesome, once I figure out what actually happens. It's a good bunny; it'll grow big and strong.

And at AV, the various bookathon reviews totaled about 1,700 words.

So that's 2,700 total. SIGH. Better next week...maybe?

You know what's weird? I thought I wrote a lot more this week than I actually did. Huh.

- Big Bang: 2,300 words
- The Novel: 600 words
- AV review: 600 words (not yet posted)
- Ridiculous Crossover: 800 words
Total: 4,300 words

The ridiculous crossover, by the way, is HSM and -- for the few people who know what this -- Suzanne Brockmann's Troubleshooters series.

And if you don't know what that means, go pick up a copy of Hot Target immediately. You'll be glad you did; don't let the hot pink cover deter you. (It features an out and proud FBI agent! And a closeted, alcoholic movie star! A totally kick ass chick! A hot Navy SEAL! And a gay WWII veteran! You know you want to read this.)

Hopefully, more words next week, I guess.

I wasn't very productive this week; all I managed all week was about 2,300 words for my hsmbigbang fic. I have no idea what happened, but I shall strive to be more productive next week.

My big bang fic, though, for the record? Will give people spontaneous tooth decay. You've been forewarned.

Less productive this week:

- Novel: 500 words (but chapter 1 finished!)
- Misc fic: 1,100
- Meme for tweendom_anon: 3, 100

Total: 4,700

Maybe better this week. I'm getting geared up for hsmbigbang; I basically know what I'm going to write, but I need to put together a real outline, because right now it's a sketchy plot and a lot of individual scenes in my head, and I need it to gel a bit more. I'm pretty psyched, though, the seeds of this have been in my brain since February, I just needed an excuse to write another long one.

I'd like to work on the novel and Tart this week mostly, though.

Ehrm, this is the anon fic I wrote; it's long and het and Zeke/Sharpay. If you're interested. I might clean it up into actual fic someday. Maybe. Is it weird that I find writing het sex from a male POV infinitely more weird than writing gay sex?

- The Novel: 750 words
- Anon meme: 1,200 words
- Fratverse #1: 2,700 words
- Fratverse #2: 1,000 words
- Other: 1,800 words
TOTAL: 7,450 words

Neither of those fratverse fics are actually the one I posted earlier. I wrote it in January, decided I hated it and that it was unsalvageable, and let it languish on my hard drive. In an attempt to get back into the 'verse, I dug it out and realized I liked bits of it, so I cleaned up (mostly edited out) the rest, and voila, instant fic.

The two I actually worked on were the next big arch (tentatively titled "Scenes from a Summer" because I am uncreative) and a random snippet from an OC's POV that popped into my head. As that may never see the internet in finished form, ( Have a snippet. (Chad's sophomore year; very lazy with formatting) )

Umm. I wrote a lot this week, but none of it was related to the novel. Oops.

- For tweendom_anon: 2,200 words
- Other HSM porn*: 5,800 words (WHAT.)
- Frat!verse fic: 400 words
- Nerdblog entry: 900 words
TOTAL: 9,300

Now that I've gotten that all out of my system a little, back to the novel this week. (And also Tart.) And if I feel inspired, more work on the next fratverse fic.

* It will never see the light of day. IDEK how that happened.

I was going to work hardcore on the novel this weekend, but got distracted by tweendom_anon. As you will. Stats:

-Novel: 2,400 words
-Anon ficlet #1: 1,300 words
-Anon ficlet #2: 1,600 words
-Anon ficlet #3 (unposted): 900 words
TOTAL: 6,200 words

YOU GUYS. I WROTE HET! Smutty het! I've never done that before! (Both of the anons were het, in fact, and one was even about Chad, despite the fact that I think he is gay gay gay gay gay.) Um. Possibly both involved girls being dominant and on top. Those were the two requests that spoke to me. I wonder what that says about me.

Here's part of the unposted one; I couldn't make it work (read: make it smutty, it just didn't want to). ( Prompt: Zeke/Ryan, anything. )

Only one of my anon requests has been answered. I kind of knew that one would be. Heh.

This week, I reread The Novel. And it was bad. In some parts, it was even worse than I thought (I had forgotten that at one point, my protagonist climbs a tree, sits there for five pages while she mentally recaps the plot, and then climbs down. whut.); in others, it was not as bad as I thought, but still pretty bad. (One of those places is the climax. "Not as bad as I thought" isn't saying much since what I thought was "the worst thing ever written in the english language.")

But I reread it, and got a pretty good feel for what needs to be done in rewrites, I think. Today I wrote about a thousand words. This was difficult, because -- unlike my first draft -- I actually care and want to make it, like, good. I really hope I am capable of that.

One thing I've never mentioned here, but that makes me really happy: despite the fact that I have not let anyone read a word of this stupid thing, a lot of people (online and off) have been really supportive. Every time someone asks me how it's going or tells me it sounds like a neat idea or whatever, I get a happy little high; remembering those helps when I think I'm a talentless hack who has for serious been faking it for a long, long time on the writing front. Which is often. So: thanks!

Fun New Project: ~5,000 words
Random Thing: ~1,200 words

Total: 6,200 words

PLUS. I have begun editing The Novel, though at this point that pretty much just means reading through it and wincing. So I'm going to attempt to continue that, and whatnot.

Fun New Project: 6,600 words

HELL yes. I know I'm still in the honeymoon phase, and that's why it seems so fun and exciting, but FNP is pretty awesome. I just went through and fleshed out my outline some; I'm still missing some crucial details, but I'm confident it'll all work out. I love most of my characters, who have all finally been introduced. I'm just about done with the establishing stuff and about to get into the real plot, which I'm super excited for. Srsly. \o/

BTW, this icon is oddly appropriate for FNP, since FNP basically imports Blink and Smurf from HISMSV, and Chad and Ryan from R3R (with about 80% less angst). In case you were wondering why I'm SO psyched. Heh.

Fic: ~ 300 words
Tart: ~900 words
The Novel: ~2,900 words

TOTAL: 4,100 words

More productive than it seems: I finished the novel AND I finished the chapter of Tart. And somehow I outlined a new novel to work on. I hadn't been planning to do that, but I'm pretty psyched. It features lots of wacky hijinks, a girl who totally hates the guy she secretly loves, and boys smooching. I will probably start that this week.

Still dealing with wristfail; still in PT twice a week. Meanwhile:

- Tart: ~1,300 words
- Teh Novel: ~1,500 words
TOTAL: 2,800 words

Hey, maybe I'll reach 3k next week! Actually, my goal is to finish either chapter 11 of teh novel, and/or chapter one of Tart. That should be doable; I am so close to the end of the stupid novel (...draft...) I can taste it. And Tart is mildly easier since we decided to toss in a character introduction here.

A little over 2k this week, all on the novel. I am in the midst of the most boring climax ever. Seriously, you wouldn't think a simultaneous hurricane and pirate attack could be dull, but I've found a way!

'm a few weeks into physical therapy for my wrists now, and trying to reintegrate typing into my life. And I overdid it today. :-/ But the good news is that this week, I managed a review for AV (about 1000 words) and 2,100 words of my novel. I finished chapter 10 (/12), finally. I'm not sure what'll happen during the work week, though.

Hiatus from writing, typing, etc, until I can do it without pain. Obviously no word counts in the mean time.

♥ to you all.

Ahem:

- Thanksgiving Break fic: 1,200 words (completed, posted)
- I Will (Valentines fratverse fic): 6,650
- The Novel: 2,800
TOTAL: 10,650

When I said I expected to be more productive this week, I didn't realize it would be THAT much more productive. Hooray!
