jadesfireI'm terribly listless today, which I think is a combination of sheer tiredness and Stuff that's going on that I have no control over. It's going to be a long week, in that respect at least.
On the other hand, I wrote 4 pages on the train yesterday, so at least one part of my brain still works. It's a Criminal Minds future!fic, and while I like the idea, I'm having trouble with character-wrangling. Serious editing is going to be needed if it's going to come out as a story rather than a self-indulgent ramble.
Oh, and at the weekend, I put my name down for an Archive Of Our Own account, and despite being told I should expect something by tomorrow, it actually came through on Sunday. One thing that's been on my list for ages is uploading stories to my website (which exists but isn't fit for public viewing yet), so I think I'll do that in parallel with uploading to AOOO. One thing I like about it is being able to bring my various writing names together - I can tell the archive that "heretoutopia", "jadesfire2808" and "Jadesfire" are all the same person, which is nice. I don't plan to stop posting fic to LJ, but it's nice to have my stories somewhere central as well. Backing things up has never been my strong point, and when I realised what would happen if LJ ever crashed.... Well. Once I could stop breathing into a paper bag, I realised that I really, really need to start getting myself sorted on that front. Hence the website and getting stories squirreled away in as many safe places as possible. Although, like a squirrel, I'm probably going to forget where I put them and end up hunting all over the internet for lostnuts stories.
I've been trying to get my head straight over writing priorities, which is hard when what you really want to do is crochet small flowers. The learning process is going pretty well, although I keep forgetting what stitches are called - I can do them all, but I can't remember when a pattern names a stitch, which of them I'm meant to be doing. I may need a crib sheet...
Anyway, on the writing front, I'm not going to get my Fandom Free For All stories done on time, so I need to do some shuffling to make sure they get slotted in between my firm deadlines. Hmmm...I'm also going to need a PodBang extension.
Firm deadlines right now are:
10th December:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
sga_santa
11th December:reel_torchwood
21st December:yuletide
Everything else is negotiable, and is going to have to wait in the plot bunny corrall until I can find time to play with them. More carrots not required. These critters are big enough as it is!
How's everyone else doing? Did we all survive Monday intact?

Well done for making it this far! A day closer to the weekend \o/

Date: 2009-11-17 04:04 pm (UTC)Ooh, and crocheting is a great thing to do while listening to audios. I do like to knit while watching TV, but a few certain shows I know I want to watch carefully, so I can't knit while I'm doing that. But with audios, even ones I really want to give my attention to and not be cleaning the house or whatever -- no problem. :)
