losing steam. send help.

You will not defeat me, [livejournal.com profile] bandombigbang! I have 2000 words to spit
out before I hit 20K of a very rough draft. I can't give up now!

Yay!!! You can do it! 2000 words is nothing! :D :D

Plus, it's a draft, so I'm totally within my rights for using [insert XXX shenanigans] here, right?

[identity profile] seimaisin.livejournal.com 2008-05-10 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! You can totally do that! As long as the fanmixer/artist knows what's supposed to go in there, you can go back and add it later!

Sadly, I think then entire end is going to be [insert end of story sexytimes].

That's okay! As long as you have all of the basic plot already laid out, the semi-gratuitous sex can come later. :)

you can totally do it! those 2000 words dont even have to be good, you can clean them up later! :D

Oh, they're SO not good at this point, believe me.

Darn close! I'm over 20K right this second and I'm just going to keep writing until I run out of steam because I'll at least have placeholders for the stuff I'm missing.

It's so much easier to write when you're not exhausted at 2am.

Who knew?

[identity profile] thesamefire.livejournal.com 2008-05-10 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I knew, but it is the voice of "wait, this term paper is due HOW EARLY tomorrow?"-style experience.

I think my problem is that it's been 11 years since college for me and I'm not used to it anymore.

[identity profile] thesamefire.livejournal.com 2008-05-10 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I really think it's one of those things that nobody should ever be used to. Ugh, all-nighters. If my friends list is any gauge though, you are not the only person facing this issue! Take comfort in the shared crazy?

Like fandom isn't crazy enough...

[identity profile] thesamefire.livejournal.com 2008-05-10 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure that fandom has conclusively proved that there is ALWAYS room for MOAR CRAZY.

[identity profile] carleton97.livejournal.com 2008-05-10 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Man, if that isn't the truth, I don't know what is.
