tea break time

Nine hours and 2.5K words to go.

This is a hell of a lot better than yesterday, when I was at 10K total, and had a major plothole (thanks to [livejournal.com profile] madame_meretrix for helping me work through that one!) But I'm still only about two-thirds of the way through my 25-sentence outline.

I keep reminding myself all I need is a DRAFT.

And tea. MOAR TEA.

And maybe an explosion or two.

18,600! Realizing that half the scenes need rearranging and that I need a damn title!

*flails*

Rearranging? THAT'S WHAT THE REST OF MAY IS FOR.

Title: The Porniest Porn to Ever Porn (now with fewer major plot holes)

...Yeah, I think I ran into that last year, having higher standards for a "first draft" than was probably expected. I don't usually send stuff out for beta-reading until I would be satisfied to post it as it stands. It was cringe-inducing having to send my draft version to the artist last year!

Haha, it is FAR from that! But it does contain more porn than last year's, not that that's saying much. *g*

19K! Thanks for the pompoms! <3

How's it coming? Almost there??!!

Ack, I got called away! Just got Younger Son to bed and I'm back here. Discovered that there's a small summary chunk in the section near the end that I have to take out... I am losing steam! :(

*makes more tea and goes to find chocolate*

You can still do it! I have faith in you!!! ♥! ♥! ♥!

[identity profile] electricalgwen.livejournal.com 2011-05-02 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yes but then I have to write a SUMMARY! And come up with a title!

*is a wimp*

*is grateful for hugs*

I DID!

*collapses*

There is, uh, probably at least as much again that needs writing for it to be, you know, readable. But the outline's there, and it's IN! \o/

Thank you SO much for the cheerleading. I was floundering! When I saw you'd come back to check in, seriously, I was so touched. *hugs*

It's only because I love you. That's all. ♥

[identity profile] si-star-x.livejournal.com 2011-05-01 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
You'll do that easy. \o/

19K!
*crosses fingers*
*uncrosses them again to type*

Thanks for the encouragement! :D

You will do it! And wow, you write fast! And tea is good!

Having dropped out myself, I figure I can be all the more dedicated a reader. I'm looking forward muchly to yours.

[identity profile] electricalgwen.livejournal.com 2011-05-01 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I just might! It was in doubt for a while!

Haha, I don't usually write that fast, I assure you. Often my pace might better be described as glacial. But I had some unusual free time last night, and tea is very good!

Aww, thanks! I am kind of looking forward to mine, myself, haha. There is definitely more of it that needs to be written but as long as I can get the main bones of it down in the next few hours...

19K! :D

I AM NEARLY THERE! *types like the wind* Although, I haven't even gotten to the bit we hashed out! I think there are gonna be a lot of placeholders. ;)

Tea! I had to switch over to decaf or it would have gotten ridiculous. *g*

Explosions are love. ♥ Really! *looks innocent*

You can do it, honey!

*hugs*

[identity profile] electricalgwen.livejournal.com 2011-05-01 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha! Love in its purest form. *hugs*

Thanks for the cheerleading! And the strangely topical yet threatening icon. :D

I couldn't resist re:icon. :) I so rarely get to use that one, and I love it so. It would be even better if it said Tick, Tock, Boom!. I'd get a lot more use out of it because, you know, explosions are love. Hee!

*twirls you*
