Writing progress

Okay, the last few days have been very productive writing-wise. Why? I was procrastinating on html-coding my Big Bang. Yes, I know.

Still, I started my summergen on Saturday, and it now stands at 15,000 words, and my Dean/Cas Big Bang now stands at just over 7,000 words, which I wrote most of yesterday (2,000 on Monday, 5,000 yesterday).

So this morning's project is to hmtl-code the damned Big Bang so I never have to think about it again until it's time to post on Friday.

With any luck, it'll go faster than I think it will, and I'll be able to get back to my writing this evening. I'd really like to make more progress on the Dean/Cas BigBang (get it to 10K at least) and maybe start at least thinking about my Castielfest project: I have a few ideas for it, but they haven't gelled yet. I'll be out of town this weekend and I'm spending tomorrow with a friend, so my writing time will be more limited after this.

In short, though, I think I'm doing pretty well, since I got my Big Bang final draft done and 22,000 words written in four days. For me, that's a lot. Hurray for vacation time!

Okay. Off I go to get coffee and to start coding!

I have spare writing mojo! I've been using it with a few people online, having virtual "writing jams." If you're into that sort of thing, I'll be happy to hang out with you in chat and be your virtual cheerleader.

I used to code things as I went when I was posting original fic to LJ, back in the day, but now that I'm posting to ff.net, going in and removing tags is just as much of a pain.

I didn't really think it through for Big Bang, though, because it's so much bigger than anything I've ever posted before. Take Me Home was comparable in size, but I posted that at the rate of a chapter a day, which was way easier to code.

Also, I seem to have a lot of italics this time around. :P
