Random Hello and Checking on you!

[goddess47]

It's a holiday weekend in the US so I thought I'd see how everyone was doing. On anything... life, work, fic, your Stargate fic...

How far ahead of a deadline do you normally work? For me, for a fic due in September, I'm currently planning on working on it in July and August... to be honest, I don't even have much of an idea for a plot at the moment. So the next couple of weeks are going to be spent hoping for a germ of an idea or a scene that I can work with.

At this point, just checking to see how everyone is and if you need anything! Stop by and say hello!

Now I gotta remember when the due date is... Eep!

Mostly canon review and outlining still. I have ssrconfidential to do before I get cracking with a rough draft, I dropped unconventionalcourtship because that fic was being stubborn.

I've got family visiting until Friday so I'm pretty much going all over on day trips this week. Giving myself a wee break before I start picking up shifts at my new job and relief shifts at my old job.

What I will write remains a mystery. I'm putting a lot of faith in the idea that my brain will come up with something well before the deadline.

I have an AU planned - a mcshep fusion based on an obscure sci-fi B movie. I have part of the outline done and need to complete that in June.

Helllooooo! September is do-able, I think, but original fic writing is taking the front seat right now. I have a deadline in August to have Book 2 published so that is foremost on my mind. That said, I did finished chapter 3 of my SG-1 fic last week so I have a good start going. The rest has been outlined, so let's hope I can get 'er done on time!

Oh, I'm working on my story now? But I go back and forth between that and others, so. I guess we'll see how it goes!

This has not been a great month for writing for me, not helped by a bad reaction to the first COVID jab. I'm just over 19K through my (very rough) first draft.

Just to confirm, do we have to have 75% of the story/3700 words done for 11th June? And also, which is the more important milestone to get to, given I'm 19K in and probably not at the 75% mark yet. (Hopefully not too far away, though, unless the story gets away from me again.)

I have words and I'm also doing some very targeted canon rewatching that I'm almost done with. Technically I'm at the 75% limit but that's only until I start really drilling down and cutting at until I'm at where I want to truly be but I have hope.

I have one or two things I'm working on. 1000 Words for Summer (organized by author Jami Attenberg) starts tomorrow and I'm going to use that to generate some energy around this project.

Quick clarification, looking back at the admin post, you said multiple stories were allowed. Does that mean I could have a main story and associated stories adding up to the total or the main story being the goal with associated stories?

Thanks!

Just checking in to see if this was the monthly check in!
