Writerly Angst per usual

[wickedwords]

I've signed up for far to many ficathons, as is my wont, and now I need to just knuckle down and get some of this done. things I am thinking about are:

1) making a 500-word-a-day goal

2) dedicating this afternoon to working on my sweet charity story

3) making a decision today on which story I will remix (I have drafted out ideas for remixes on 2 different stories by my author, each in a different fandom. One allows me more flexibility, and One is more traditional but with a greater potential for angst. So it's like pain vs. world building and that is a sucky choice for me. Seriously, my normal response is: why choose?)

4) I have another rec due for stargateficrec, so I need to write that up. I'm thinking tomorrow maybe for that.

5) Writing out my one sentence summary for my (potential) sgabigbang novel. I'm thinking putting up a filter for the novel writing, once I have more than a sentence on what I plan to do, so that should be up for sign-up in the next week. When I signed up for the challenge, I was thinking I'd do a steampunk AU of the discovery of Atlantis, with Elizabeth in charge of the expedition, John the adventurer pulled out of the opium den, Rodney the inventor surrounded by all of his brass-and-silver creations --only I got it wrong, and full AU/ARs aren't a part of the prompt. So I have to figure something else out, and I need to get on that today.

Maybe something with prisons....


So, anyway, yes! Hi! I'm back from Escapade. Had a blast, as usual. The only real problem for me was I started the con with con crud, and that's still lingering around. I probably won't get to a con report as I have so much other writing to do, plus I have to get back to the cycling training stuff as well. Still: Cons! Fun!

Hi! Welcome back!

If you need a writerly confab of sorts, let me know, I'd be happy to meet up sometime. Or even if you don't, I'd love to catch up with you again.

Also, I may have some questions about biking for beginners in this area, if you've got time.

I would love to get together with you! This week is kind of a pain, but next week or the week after is mostly open if that's good with you.

Sure! This week isn't good for me either, but next week I'm free Mon, Tues, Fri, or the weekend :)

How's Monday? Is that St. Patrick's Day? If we go someplace early, we could maybe get a green cupcake.

Monday would be perfect. I picked the place last time; your turn this time :D

How about Matt's Rotisserie on the 2nd floor of RTC at about 6pm on Monday? Or if you don't mind repeating, I am up for Claim Jumpers again.

Either works for me, so let's go for Matt's. 6pm, see you then :)

You have no idea how much I would like to read that. Ever since I saw this steampunk laptop I wanted to see Rodney in a steampunk AU.

Oh, wow! That is a thing of beauty. Okay, I have to figure out a way that I can combine the steampunk thing with one of the prompts. Hmmmm.

I have/had a similar quandary to you - I thought 'au, woohoo!' only to find out that no, we can't do a total au.

However, I have realised that I can have my cake and eat it too - I can have the 'real' SGA team visit the au world that I was constructing and I think it actually solves some of the plot points I was pondering. Is it possible you could do the same?

Funnily enough, I'm also techno-inspired - not with steampunk, but certainly by William Gibson's work in terms of envisioning this alternate world.

I'm going to take one of the prompts and use in for my AU universe. Should be fascinating, if I can get it all to work. *g*
