So Mini-Nanowrimo was an overall success for me. I missed a few days throughout November, but in the end, I was still 10,000 words over my 15,000 word goal for the month. I guess it's a good thing that I turn into a wordy bitch when I actually do my writing.

Because I have so many challenges due for the holidays, I've decided to continue on with a daily word count. I've lowered it to 200 words a day for the month, a total of 6,200 words by the end of the month. I'm pretty sure I'll exceed that because of my holiday fics, but the point is just to stay disciplined with writing.

**

I think I've finally worked out what I'm going to write for my underthemistletoe fic for Supernatural. My prompt is based around the fairy tale of Snow White. At first, I was thinking of doing an add-on of sorts to Bedtime Stories but ( is this still considered spoilers? ) I figured it would be better to go for something different. So I've been pondering what the hell to do and how to go about it, and last night while showering, I think I got a basic idea.

Why is it that I get all my best ideas when I shower or am about to fall asleep?

Tonight are the winter finales (possible year finales if writer's strike doesn't end very soon) for both Chuck and Heroes. In the last few episodes, it seems like Heroes has gotten its footing back, so I'll be interested to see how it ends. And I'm going to miss Chuck so much. I love that show a whole lot. It's seriously right up there with SPN for me. What will I do without my weekly fill of Buy More hijinks?

Nov. 14th, 2007 @ 01:22 pm I am the great procrastinator...

Is livejournal moving very slow for anyone else out there? Argh. I guess it's a sign that I should be writing rather than procrastinating...but I just can't seem to settle my brain down enough to focus on any writing.

I did write four ficlets over the past four days and I have two stories with betas. So November and Mini-Nanowrimo are going rather well over all. I just have a lot on my writing to-do plate and this doesn't even make much of a dent at the moment. Oh, me and my love of challenges and over-committing myself. One day I will learn.

**

There needs to be more Alice/Jasper fic from Twilight. I've found tons of Edward/Bella and Jacob/Bella and yes, I understand they are the main love triangle...but Alice/Jasper rock! They are awesome as individuals and as a couple and nowhere in Eclipse did they make me want to kill any of them, unlike the three main characters.

There also needs to be more schmoopy Heroes Matt/Mohinder fic. Something with a possessive Mohinder or a hurt/comfort fic!

Actually, there needs to be more schmoopy fic, period. It's my favorite sort. Angst and dark fic are fine, but schmoop is something I always love, no matter what my mood. maybe I should run another round of Schmoopfest, but it'll probably wait until after the holidays.

I'm doing pretty well with Mini-Nanowrimo so far. I've made my goal every day. Sure, it's only been five days, but for me that's a big improvement over the little to no writing I'd been doing lately.

I have all the drabble prompts saved to try to do over the course of the month, but feel free to leave any prompts for fandoms I know and I'll try to see what inspires me. The problem with me is that I suck at drabbles. I tend to get big ideas with prompts. Kinda defeats the purpose.

**

Some Mini Nanwrimo Stuff:

- I currently have a Dean Winchester as a Whitelighter story with betas that will need some heavy editing once I get it back.

- I did two of the prompts over at [info]bestbigbrother to try to get Dean Winchester back on track for muses.

- I started a Dean/Carmen story.

- A Roswell ficlet (which I'll post next)

**

I'm totally supporting the writers during this strike, but the idea of losing seeasons of television makes me sad. I'm a television addict. What will I do without my daily fixes of good shows?

It's Supernatural day! And the start of Mini-Nano, which I'm committed to writing 500 words a day on.

**

I'm truly obsessed with Numb3rs now. I'm waiting on my season three dvds to arrive because I'm almost done season two already. I just love this show. And I love Don and Charlie and their relationship with each other and their father. It's so wonderful.

I'm such a sucker for family stuff, especially siblings. What is wrong with me?

**

If any of you are doing the Holiday wish list meme, please make sure to link me to it as I like to see what things I can fulfill for people each year. I love being able to make someone happy with the simplest of things.

**

I'm on the look out for some chuck fanfiction, specifically Ellie/Captain Awesome because they make me happy. I'm really enjoying the way the show is handling the relationship of Chuck/Sara and while I love Casey, I don't really see the slash in this show...but Ellie/Captain Awesome is full of so many possibilities. And I really love Captain Awesome because he really cares about Chuck and how he helped Morgan in the last episode was so adorable.

I'm probably going to end up writing them myself, but y'all should give it a go too.

Oct. 30th, 2007 @ 05:33 pm daylight savings not happening has me all messed up
location: home
Current Mood: sick
Tags: , ,

I was wondering how I managed to avoid getting sick upon my return from Los Angeles. I guess the evil sinuses waited until the weather really dropped to pounce on me. Because now I am dying of the evil sinus plague! Argh! I've been sort of watching Numb3rs, sort of meaning that it hurts to keep my eyes open for long so I'll probably go back and rewatch these later.

**

Mini-Nano starts on Thursday and here's to hoping I feel better so I can be successful with my writing for the month. Otherwise, I'll just have to suck it up and write through the sickness. Pity me.

**

Chuck is slowly trying to steal my heart away from Dean Winchester. I'm just...he's too adorable.

I am obsessed with Numb3rs now. I'm halfway through season two and just ordered season three and just...what is with my sibling kink? Especially brothers that are close? God, I'm a sucker for it. Though I do love this trend in televisiona and really, it can continue and I will be happy.

**

I did some reading and I have a bunch of recs ready. And I'm signed up for Mini-Nanowrimo and have figured out how many words I'm going to commit to for a day. I'm hoping to use November and the challenge to get caught up on my very long list of writing. And I keep coming up with stories for Dean Winchester in my head, some that I would never share with anyone else because the level of schmoop is bad even from me.

**

For the moment, I'm waiting for my dinner to finish cooking and then I'm planning to watch the movie Miracle because this morning I watched a documentary on the 1980 USA hockey team...and that story always makes me so happy, and now I'm in the mood to watch it. Cute hockey players with a happy ending. Good night time material.
