Anyone feel like brandishing a whip at me?

Flist, I am having conniptions over my Big Bang, which is leading DIRECTLY to a wicked case of stage fright/writer's block.

Does anyone out there feel generous and intrepid enough to brandish a whip at me and REQUIRE that I check in with wordcount at the end of every day until this damned draft is finished?

I think the BB could be awesome, but I've tied myself in knots over it, so I just need to find a ladder and get over myself, and I'm always better at that when I'm accountable to someone else.

Meow?

I volunteer. What's your current word count? Whatever it is, don't feel too badly about it, mine's 4616, and I'm just hoping I can make it up over spring break when I won't have schoolwork to worry about.

*glomps you forever*

My current wordcount is just over 20k. The problem? I'm about 20% into my story. I have an INSANE amount of story to write in under two weeks, and haven't written all that much in the past month or so.

*headdesk*

BB, I will be having a GSD aka Hunt all the Words THIS WEEK. Just for peeps like you. :) And, uh me. Since I've haven't written anything in a week. EEP!

Anyways, look for your flist about it on Sunday!

Oh yay! I will keep an eye out.

I can do it!

Though I'd feel like an hypocrite since I settled on what I was going to write for it YESTERDAY. (Yeah I know. My only hope is that it stays at the not-more-than-30000 word count I hope.) But I can totally bother you daily about it and bother myself in the meantime! ;)

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2011-04-16 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
No, no, you wouldn't be a hypocrite. PLEASE come bother me about it. This is exactly what I need.

*wibbles frantically*

Stop worrying about it and thinking about it as the BB. Just write the story you want to tell and remember that this is supposed to be fun. So just forget everything else except why you love writing these boys and then write them for yourself - entangle yourself in the story and in the AU you're creating! This isn't a job. This is love.

Good luck.

Put some words down, then go to WWF and let me know what your count is up to.

I'm at work now, but will do so in the morning when I'm home. :)

All righty -- it's a deal.

It doesn't have to be good yet! It doesn't! You can make yourself a side document of revision notes, just so you can keep them in mind while you continue to hammer your way through the plot!

(yes, this is what I've had to do for myself, what of it? not that I've managed to work on it today. there was sewing to be done!)

So. I'll poke you about it if you poke me?

Which Big Bang are you doing my love? Cos i'm doing the Dean/Cas Big Bang. I have no idea WHY i'm doing it but I signed up on the first day so I obviously think I can. Right? Maybe?

LOL this is going to be awesome. *facepalm*

So in conclusion GET THEE TO WORK! And also? I share your pain. *comforts*

*poke* Word count. What is it?

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2011-04-17 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Unchanged. Between a busy night shift at work and being sick, nothing happened. I am cracking open my word document now and making coffee. Hopefuly I'll get in a couple thousand words before work tonight.

I'll post a progress bar in a second. :)

'Kay. Mine's up to 5384 and Mary's finally met Ellen. What they do together, neither of them has let me in on yet, so I'm skipping ahead to series era, which should give me lots of word count quick-like.

25,025. Just shy of 5k thanks to a quiet night at work. Am off to sleep, will have more later. \o/

Spent most of the day doing a very good impression of a sick person, but I have my doc open now and I am going to write! Aiming for 30k by the time I stop tonight.

*nodnod* Mine's higher than it was yesterday, but I don't know by how much, I haven't typed it up yet. (The perils of writing at work.)

So. Word count?

My count for the day is zero. I suck. And tomorrow and the day after will be no improvement, because I have class after work both days.

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2011-04-20 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
I'm still writing, but am currently just shy of 6k for the day.

*waves pom-poms*

You can do it! Even if you write a couple hundred words, it'll be that much further along!

Zip since yesterday. Had to put my cat to sleep today. Kind of fucked up any plans I had other than taking her to the vet and then bawling like an infant.

You?

*sympathies*

Few hundred. Better than expected for the day, by a few hundred.

Still nothing. But there are word wars starting in an hour, and I am doing nothing all day today except write. I'm hoping for epic wordcount this weekend.

Not yet. I'm *really* close, though. Working on it now, will be sending stuff in just under the wire. Eesh.
