Oh my God, I don't even know

[ratherastory]

I'm not allowed to quit BigBang, right? Right. I mean, for one, I'm the first fucking name on the sign-up list. Entirely by accident, but STILL.

I don't have to be at work for another eight hours or so. Plenty of time to write more. I am determined to finish Chapter 5 today, and with any luck I'll get a significant chunk of Chapter 6 done tomorrow.

I know myself well enough to realize that once I figure out the damned problems with my plot, it'll all be smooth sailing. Hell, I write fast. I know this. It's just that I'm damned well freaking STUCK in this ONE SPOT, and the BigBang rules clearly state that I can't have a little note to myself in the first draft saying [there needs to be a fucking awesome transition scene here].

*bangs head on keyboard*

I've worked out a couple of the kinks, I think. Enough that I can finish Chapter 5. I hope. Oh God.

42506 / 60000 words. 71% done!

On the plus side, dear flist, in less than two weeks' time, one way or the other, I will CEASE WHINING ABOUT THIS. :)

I just wrote the same thing to Ancastar about two seconds ago. My advice would be to write the story - don't write yourself notes in the text about the missing scene - but go back and add filler later. You're so incredibly close, you can't give up now. Seriously!!!

Good luck! Sorry you're having problems. And yay for being 71% done so far!

You can do it! I trust you have someone to maybe brainstorm with...? That might help.

Wow, it's moments like this I'm glad I'm not a writer. I've read a few Big Bang writer's posts today. (Though secretly I wish I was a writer...)

All the best!

If it's any consolation, I secretly wish I was a vidder. :)


I have a couple of people I've been whining at about my plot, yes. They've been very supportive, especially the incomparable bellatemple.

Forty thousand words already!!! I look forward to reading it.

The length isn't the problem. It's whether I can get to the end of the story in time.

*swears volubly at the text*

It's also kind of different from what I usually write. Not entirely different, but a little.

*goes back to story*

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I never really write myself notes in my texts, but sometimes I write myself notes in my head. ;)

The trouble is that I'm not actually that close. I'm about halfway through the story, I *think*. It might be 2/3, I'm not sure. It'll depend how the next couple of chapters unfolds.

It's times like these that I wish I was a more organized writer, with a proper outline and everything instead of a vague haze of plot residing at the back of my head. :P

Thank you!

The goal number is random because the wordcount meter demands one, but yeah. It's a way to reassure myself that this isn't totally hopeless. :)

GO, YOU! YOU CAN DO IT!

[tifaching.livejournal.com]

Your flist has faith! An amazingly awesome story will be forthcoming. Keep your chin up and keep tapping those keys!

[pkwench.livejournal.com]

\o/ *cheerleads* You have it in you to do it. You'll get there!

How are you stuck?

[essenceofmeanin.livejournal.com]

If you don't put the note in, they'll never know. ;)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

LOL

Point.

I figured out how to fix it, though. I think. No need to write notes to myself in the text yet. ;)

Okay. Back to the fic. *slog slog slog*

YOU CAN DO EET.

If I can write my stupid, miserable thesis, then you can finish the most awesome BigBang ever.

DO EET. \o/

See Dean in my icon? Yeah. Dean's talkin' about you. Oh yeah.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Dean approves of your icon.

Still slogging away at Chapter 5.

Why do I do this to myself? WHYYYYY?

I see you're still alive! Kudos!
