I Think I Can...okay I Could Use Some Selfish Cheerleading

[kristen999]

I checked my LJ to ensure the dates and I started writing my casestory on Feb 24th and wrote until March 21st and got about 12k words done. YAY!

It's April 2nd and the story is due May 1st and I have another 10-15k I think to write. Why muse why??

The good news. I have a month for my betas and edits. This is a Big Bang. Only the rough draft it due on May 1st and posting isn't until early June....but, but...

FLAILS.

I can write 5k a week, right? Then a week to re-write so the poor artist has something readable to choose from. *head desk*

This isn't a story I can just crank out. There's a lot of attention to detail and nuances while trying to keep that emotional edge.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!!!

:D :D

Thank you babe!! I need this right now!

[ldyanne.livejournal.com]

You can do it! If it helps, there are a lot of us just waiting to read it, because really - KRISTEN999!

It's that attention to details and the nuances while keeping that emotional edge that make your fic so awesome.

*waves pom poms*

Awwwwwwwwwww. Thank you. I really need that boost right now as I look at my notes :D

[saphirablue]

Second this so much!

[rubygirl29.livejournal.com]

It will be great. It always is!

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

Awwww...Thank you. I have a lot to do, but I'm going to try real hard :D

*works at resurfacing from weeks-long RL straitjacket long enough to say: You Absolutely Can!*

A rough draft can be really rough, as long as the bones are there, right? The important things will be there for the artist to choose from. And we will supply you with malasadas for energy and caffeine for...well, *caffeine*... and mental (or physical) images of shirtless Steve and Danny -- okay, those might be distracting instead of helping turbo-charge your writing. But you can do it. Halfway done is great!

*haz faith*

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

Hey buddy! I was going to PM you this week to see how you were doing! You better slay RL for a while, I miss you around!

I need to keep reminding myself that the rough draft just needs to be the meat and I can save the pruning for later. *wills herself to get it done*

[embroiderama]

You can do it! :D

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna try real hard!!!

[powrhug.livejournal.com]

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping babe!

[iam-space.livejournal.com]

I have complete faith in you, hon! You can do it!!! *\o/*

I just need to up my daily counts another 1oo or 200 each day!

[syble4.livejournal.com]

I know you can do it! (waves pom poms)

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

YAY!

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

You can do it!!!! It's totally possible, you have the determination and the talent (more than enough)! *\o/*

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

Thanks hon!! I just need to keep my daily word goals! But I shall beat them! Yes, yes!

[saphirablue]

You can do it! *waves pompoms*

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

I'm going to try real freaking hard!!

Oh, and I just about died over one your prompts. I'm caught between it and another person's right now :D

[verasteine.livejournal.com]

*dusts off the pompoms* You totally can. Take it from someone who's done something close to this, it can be done!

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I have so many place holder scenes right now and I keep re-reading the story and finding new ones to insert. *deep breath* I can do it. I need to stick to finishing it first then I'll worry about going back and writing the details.

:D

[gwalchmai345.livejournal.com]

*gets out the pom-poms and starts cheering you on*

If that doesn't help I could try bribing your plotbunnies with carrots and chocolate? ;-)

Seriously, I'm sure you can do it! :)

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

It's just such a complex plot, but I think I can do it. I just need to focus :D

*tries to ignore one of your prompts by the way. It's something I've thought of writing for a while*

[aries-taurus.livejournal.com]

Yes you can, yes you can, yes you can!

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

Kristen, this is your editor speaking. *insert Darth Vader voice of DOOM*

WRITE NOW!!!!

WRITE A LOT!!!

WRITE THE GOOD SHIT!!!

How's that for warm, cuddly cheerleading? Yeah, it needs work. But keep up the walking because walking = thinky thoughts = better writing.

WRITE!!!

\o/

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

Eeeeep. It's the Darth Vader Editor Voice!!!!!

I had many thinky thoughts on my walk to work today. Wrote them down when I got to work :-P

[sylvanelfqueen.livejournal.com]

I know you can do it! And it is going to be awesome when you get it all out! I am so excited to read it!!! Don't freak out, you've got this!

*cheers*

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeep. Thank you hon. All these positive vibes has me pumped up!

[lunachickk.livejournal.com]

Of course you can do it! You are a word goddess!

*sends Danny in to cheer you on*

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

*glomps Danny* Although he kind of doesn't like me right now

[michelel72.livejournal.com]

*\o/* Go, go, go! Goooooooo you! *\o/*

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[giusytriso.livejournal.com]

I'm not a writer but I can't understand your concern. And yet, I have no doubt you will do it. You are very talented and I'm sure you will manage to overcome your issues.
I wish you good luck. ;)

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

I just need a bit of a boost in the middle of the marathon :D

[tridget.livejournal.com]

*Doing a well-meaning but somewhat inelegant cheer-leading routine for you*

I like your idea of having a general pace for the days.

I need to walk to lose weight too. Maybe I I need a write and walk-a-thon. I will be more regularly back to writing by this weekend, I think.

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

Walking and writing sounds like a winning combo :D

[saltyd.livejournal.com]

OMG, if there is anyone who can do it you can!! Everything you have written has been perfection :) And one of the reason for that is your attention to detail and the way you hear the characters!

Who can write it? Kristen can!! Rah rah oooo rah rah!

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

Awww. Thanks hon!!!!
