Random Thoughts & Musings

Yes, friends and neighbors, it's that time of year again.  I have once again committed to the insanity that is NaNoWriMo.  And thanks to the DH I even have a theme song... I am so not amused, but I'll survive.

New Motto:  50K or Bust!!!!

Yes, I'm still breathing despite appearances to the contrary.  I've been writing like a mad fiend on my Torchwood AU.  There's been a few updates on my website related to this AU.  I'm just happy to be writing again.   I've signed up for the annual insanity that is NaNoWriMo.  Considering how many words I've been whipping out so far this year, I should have no problem winning this years event!

Last night I finished by longest story yet in my Torchwood AU.  The story came in at 34,555 words and took 22 days to write.  It also includes my first graphic (as in I use four letter words and get into details) male/male sex scene.  It is however going to take me a bit to format it for upload to my website.  It's a very long file.  I'll probably have to break it into sections to make it easier for people to read there.  Now, now I hit the anti-Gwen story while trying to explore all the little twists and turns the boys threw at me in the most recent story.

Life as a writer is never dull that's for certain.

Well, my fan fiction series is cruising along at speeds to rival Cardiff residents running away from weevils or, for you non-Torchwood fans, as fast as a gazelle attempting to escape a cheetah. Either way you call it, my brain is in write mode and it won't shut up for love, money or sleep even! I guess that's a good thing.

I signed up for the tw_bigbang using one of my series stories as the entry. I should be ready for the longest one by the time the rough draft is due in, but we shall see. That's a 15k story with a draft due date of 28 September. I think I can manage that as the current story in the series is 26k and counting. Go me!

I'm debating writing a story for the kink_bigbang. That one is 12k and due by 15 September.  I just can't decide what to do for it or if I even want to attempt it.  So that's up in the air.  I've always wanted to write a proper dark and kinky story, just never really had incentive to do so. Wonder if I have to bribe myself to work on that one.  I'll think on it.

Look at it this way though, if this keeps up, no worries on getting NaNoWriMo done this year!
