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

I checked my LJ to ensure the dates and I started writing my [livejournal.com profile] 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!!!!

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!!!

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

There you go! See how easy that was? *snort*

You'll get there; I know you will. Your thinky thoughts always take you where you need to go. :)
