In which ratherastory learns her limitations. Again.

I don't post much about RL stuff here. I keep that for my regular LJ (which is sadly neglected these days) and Twitter. Today I'll make a quick exception because RL is affecting my fic writing. Feh.

1- I'm moving in a little over two weeks. To a house. Which I bought. *flails*

2- The change of season in the fall is always really, really rough on me. This year is apparently no exception. Blah blah blah SAD blah blah mental illness blah. I get a little blindsided by it every year.


In short, I'm going to do myself a favour and stick only to the exchanges I signed up for and not to the challenges, with one or two exceptions. I have to drop five0bang, because it's 40k and the story isn't gelling at all. spn_cinema is going to have to go by the wayside, because it's due the same day I'm moving and the story is SO LONG that I won't be able to write it in time. Not with my current schedule and energy levels.

It sucks, but that's part of being a grownup. RL has to come first this time. *sigh*

Congrats on the house, yay!

And I am with you on the commitments thing. I'm thinking really hard about giving up cinema, too - which would leave me with just 2 exchanges for the rest of the year. And one of them about to be over, assuming I can finish my minibang.....

Problem is, I love my cinema story. I could always post it outside the challenge, though, at my leisure...

I love my cinema story too. I just can't devote the energy to it that it would require. I figure it'll be at least 15k, maybe a lot more, depending. And it weirdly enough requires a lot of research.

That would leave me with my minibang and about five exchanges, all of which are 1k or less and due over a span of months. I can totally do that.
