Boring number stuff for my own reference

I just realized that I have about 34 days to get rough drafts done for 4 Big Bangs, and ready-to-post versions for 3 challenges. Of those four Big Bangs, I have exactly *one* mostly written, and it's due in, oh, three days.

So I'm going to attempt a writing schedule here, under the cut. Big/Mini Bangs

Big Bang: [livejournal.com profile] spn_gen_bigbang
Minimum wordcount: 15,000
Current wordcount: 14,366
Due date: 2011/07/15
Daily wordcount goal until draft is due: 2,000

Big Bang: [livejournal.com profile] deancasbigbang
Minimum wordcount: 20,000
Current wordcount: 0
Due date: 2011/08/15
Daily wordcount goal until draft is due: 600

Big Bang: [livejournal.com profile] samdean_otp
Minimum wordcount: 10,000
Current wordcount: 0
Due date: 2011/08/15
Daily wordcount goal until draft is due: 300

Big Bang: [livejournal.com profile] thebigbangjob
Minimum wordcount: 20,000
Current wordcount: 0
Due date: 2011/08/21
Daily wordcount goal until draft is due: 500


:::ETA::: Have to drop the last one due to RL suddenly sucking.

So, barring the GenBB, which I need to finish ASAP, I'm looking at a daily wordcount goal of 1,400 words. That's below my minimum personal wordcount goals anyway, which means this is doable. *tries not to hyperventilate*

:::ETA::: Okay, new wordcount is 900 words a day for the BBs. I can do that.

I don't know how you do it.

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't either, to be quite honest. I have no idea if I'll be able to pull it off for that matter.

You've given me this bizarre mental image of some new software product that makes sound effects when you reach a certain word count. And it has a [livejournal.com profile] ratherastory-friendly GUI where you enter in all your unposted WIPs and start typing. And every 500 words of so, there's a crash of thunder and your fic automatically saves and closes and opens up the next fic in your queue. And you merrily type away and when you hit 500 words on that fic, there's another crash of thunder and it saves and closes and opens up the next one in your queue!

Why isn't there a like button because I love this comment :D

[identity profile] saberivojo.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
HA! I love this...there should be "like" button.

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL

I would love to have something like that!

1400 is below your minimum personal daily count? *green with envy* (not because of inability to write more but because of lack of damn time).

Seriously -- keep my fingers crossed so you make it!

I'm trying to hit 750k before December 31st. It's been tricky, but so far I'm managing. I'm currently about 6k behind where I should be right now.

I totally bow down to you! I'm stuck with my spn_gen_bigbang...

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I am sure you'll manage! *cheers you on*

Heh, don't be. Mostly I spend a lot of time losing my mind over deadlines. ;)

I love these posts of yours. First off, they inspire me to get crackin'! Secondly, they clue me into other tasty challenges. Win/win! Keep on truckin'...

Thank you! I'm glad they serve some good purpose in life. ;)
