-- 676 words until I crack 20k
-- Two more scenes to finish
-- Three and a half more hours until it's due in my time zone

Oh, holy fried and breaded carp, I could actually finish this fucker. :D

(I still want a pony if I do. Or money! Money would be nice. Or candy! I'm a sucker for candy. Or, you know, if Jensen, Jared and/or Jeff aren't doing anything this weekend ...)

Send me you're writing wisdom. I got 6.5 hours to write another 7000 words. I was doing really well earlier and now the boys have decided to not play nice.

Well, when things get tough I've got a few tricks:

1. Just completely let the characters go where they want no matter how batshit.
2. Make them do something batshit.
3. Ooo, there's also the trick I do where I write down all of the dialogue first so I know how the scene is going to go and then write the dialogue around it. It's what I'm doing now, actually.
4. Are you writing linearly? Skip ahead if need be. Try writing scenes you know you need to or want to write and then backstep until you get to the problem scene. At least that way you know where your destination is.

I've been vaguely writing down the less important scenes, just jotting down the dialogue.

I've resorted to mangling Jensen's hand in a bandsaw and having him build Jared a life sized Dalek in order to up my word count. Seriously, it's crap but I'm doing it for the sake of completion.

The dialogue is easy for me to write. Going back and filling it in, isn't.
