Now, I'm not gonna complain about being productive. I'm actually pretty tickled with myself. Since I posted a couple days ago about all the hundred billionty stories I have rolling around in my head, I've spent the last three days hashing out the better part of three really long involved stories. This is rare for me, people. I almost always go into a story with just a vague theme, some idea what I want to do with character development, and hope the road opens before me. But since I have so many working at the same time, I knew I'd lose them if I didn't do something with them ASAP.

Helps that I managed to get Tracer to go in with me on one as a new screenwriting project, and my super secret special friend volunteered to cowrite another.(I promised to keep it Gen, lol.) Having someone else excited about my ideas is strong motivation to get them worked out. So, Wednesday morning when I got off work, instead of going to bed, I spent most of the morning working the script out with Tracer. Snuck in a few hours of sleep in the afternoon then got back on IM with Tracer Wednesday night.

Yesterday morning, I hammered out a tentative synopsis and fired it off to my super secret friend (I forgot to ask her if it was okay to mention her name. lol.) Then got on IM with her most of the afternoon, snagged a couple hours of sleep between SPN and Jimmy Kimmel, then talked over our script til after 1 a.m. on IM again. Slept for a few hourse. Then got up to feed the horses, intended to go right back to bed, swore not to check my email or my flist, but ooooh no. I did anyway. Then, I couldn't sleep, so I hammered out a rough outline for the Overboard rewrite between answering emails. Another 1500 plus words.

So, in the last three days, I've written probably six thousand words, and none of them have been actual fic. I totally fail. Not only that, but I've not been back to sleep since I got up this morning, and I have to leave for work in ten minutes.

Again... I'm so screwed.

But mighty fulfilled. I feel guilty as hell for taking so long with my WIPs, but it's nice to have so many places to go when I get stumped on something else.

If you don't hear from me. It means I've either buried myself in fic or died. No worries either way. LOL.

YAY for productivity! *HUGS* That's AWESOME even if it results in not enough sleep.

I am on top of the world right now, so don't you dare go and die. Just bury yourself in fic. *g*

The words, "Elk Snout" will appear in the Overboard fic, yes? Not an Overboard without 'em.
