Status of the writer
At the moment I have four different files open on my desktop. So let's go with those for now.
The first is a list of details and whatnot for the checklist of things I need to edit in the new draft of Heroine Addiction. I've been fleshing out the answers on and off for the past week, and I'm hoping to get the last three problems that need working on fleshed out tonight so that I can print it out and bring it all with me to work this week. (As soon as I can go to work, anyway ... still no call from HR to come in tomorrow.) I'm really never a big fan of the editing part of writing, and when it comes to editing I find it a lot easier to fix the spelling and punctuation and whatever than the content for the obvious reasons that ... well, they ARE easier.
The second is my Big Bang. All I've got right now is the header, which sucks because obviously it'd be nice if I had pretty much anything written. I still want to do the same idea, which is pretty impressive considering I've usually changed my mind half a dozen times by now. I just need to watch a few episodes to get a grasp on the characters again. But as the Flying Spaghetti Monster is my witness, there WILL be femmeslash!
Anyway, the third is This Way To The Egress. I haven't looked at it since November. I had six thousand words or so by the time I put it aside, which gives me enough of a word count to make me not want to put it aside permanently. I really need to refine the hell out of it, because I want to go a sort-of mock autobiography direction with it, and I'm terrified it'll start tilting Mary-Sue-ish.
The fourth is Cherry Bomb. Another one I haven't touched in a while, this one since January. I love the story, I do, but I currently feel like I need to work on the lead character a little, if only because I'm finding her partner waaaaay more interesting (she's a bit Parker-esque, so she's more than a bit nuts). That said, I just need to sit my butt in a chair and pound out some damn words already.
I've got a few other stories to work on, of course -- the GPW edit is still on, and I've got Blood Red Carpet and Nearly Departed and Gilded lying around gathering dust, AND I would have fun writing a gay paranormal romance, I think -- but right now I'm just trying to latch onto something that wants to be written, which is a bit harder than I'd like.
I just really really really really really really really really really really really really REALLY want to get published already. Ahem. *beams*

I'm opening the floor to questions just to see if it'll spark some inspiration, so if anybody's got any questions about the stuff I'm currently writing, now's the time to ask. :)

I really loved reading the snippets of it that you posted awhile back. I hope something sparks you for that one.
