apocalypsos | Status of the writer

I figured I'd get this out of the way now, because it's highly unlikely that I'll post much in the next couple of days if everything goes to plan.

My current writing projects look like this:

-- Work on NaNo tomorrow
-- If I hit the halfway point in the amount of words I would need to win NaNo by midnight tomorrow night, work on NaNo Tuesday as well.
-- If I don't get that far by midnight tomorrow night, I'm going to officially give up and move onto my Yuletide.
-- Once Yuletide is done, move onto completely frivolous just-for-fun gay romance
-- Once completely frivolous just-for-fun gay romance is done, go back to NaNo project

I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be able to get to the point I want to get to tonight for NaNo, because not getting to that point makes reaching 50k by the deadline a little more terrifying. It's not impossible for me to reach 50k by Tuesday night, God knows, but it requires me to write a metric fuckton of absolute bullshit in the next two days. It's almost freeing, because it means I have to stop thinking so hard about stuff and just write.

Then there's Yuletide. I'm working on getting my grubby paws on the source material again, and the plan is to refresh my memory before the weekend and get it done Saturday and Sunday night after I get back from work. I'm really hoping I can pull this off if only because I wasn't joking when I said I'd considered this particular prompt for this particular fandom once and it fills me with all sorts of glee just contemplating it.

Then there's the gay romance. Damn it, I can totally write one, and God knows I read enough of them anymore, and I think I just want to get it out of my system. Granted, the idea I have is sort of all my slash kinks getting together and making a porny love child, so it's a bit cracktastic, but I've never had a problem writing crack. ;)

Okay, okay. Time to go beef up my NaNo word count for tomorrow.
