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!!!!

*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*

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*
