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?

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.

So far, my new favorite show of the fall television season is Chuck. It is awesome. I love Chuck. I want to marry him and have all his spy computer brain babies!

Supernatural still owns my heart, of course. And that starts this week. I am completely unspoiled (as I prefer to be), and cannot wait for it. Sam and Dean just make me so happy, even when I find myself worrying about them. And y'all know my obsession of Dean just gets worse day after day. I need therapy.

Finally watched the Burn Notice finale. That was such a great wrap-up of the first season, but I'm intrigued with where they're going to take this and I don't want to wait until next summer for more! That's just not right. I guess in the meantime, I'll have to write my Dean Winchester as a spy who gets burned fic.

Speaking of fic...I actually finished one story recently. It's a fic for the Supernatural remix, so I can't share it yet, but it didn't turn out too bad. Now I must finish the Spn/Blade Trinity crossover story. It has stalled at fifteen pages. I really need to wrap that up, preferably before new canon ruins it.

I'm sure y'all have been missing me like whoa and I apologize for my disappearance. I was enjoying a mini-vacation to celebrate my birthday properly. Because birthdays are meant to be week-long celebrations where you are spoiled and pampered. It would be one of my first laws enacted if I ruled the world (after declaring that people need my express written consent to drive).

**

I am currently working on the remainder of the birthday fics I owe people and a crossover story that has gotten away from me. There was a time when I was productive with my writing. I mean, I've never been prolific, but I used to get some stuff done. Lately, I have no interest in it. I'm feeling blah about the whole process, including reading fic. That's not normal. Surely, I have some sort of weird fannish ennui.

**

In a much better place, I now own both Heroes and Friday Night Lights season one. There may be some more FNL fic to come at some point - I wrote one for yuletide last year - because I adore Matt Saracen. He's so damn cute. And Mr. & Mrs. Coach are just so wonderful.

So what have y'all been up to?

Argh. I am stuck at work on a Saturday. I came in for a project that needs to get finished. it's now pretty much done, but I'm waiting for the Office Manager to get here (she was supposed to be here two hours ago) to stay with our IT person as he doesn't have keys as he's more of a consultant than actual employee of the company. Le sigh.

I'm going to a book sale this afternoon with the mother and then I'm going to stop by Borders to see if maybe they have Eclipse out a few days early. They sometimes put out a few books ahead of time, so here's to hoping. That would just be lovely.

**

Finished the edits on my multiverse story and sent it in. A few days late, but it's done and [info]ladybug218 assured me that it did not, in fact, suck ass. So hopefully the recipient will like it.

Next up this weekend: Finish Winchester Meets Halliwell. I will not write more Sam/Dean until this damn story is done...otherwise, Jen will kick my butt.

A few days late but my multiverse story is finally done and to [info]ladybug218 for her magnificent beta work. Considering I went from having no idea to too many on this thing, it comes in at twelve pages and isn't too bad. I just hope the recipient ends up liking it. I always worry when I'm writing *for* someone. Like what if I suck and they hate it? Oh, that would be terrible.

Next on my list is finishing the next huge installment of Winchester Meets Halliwell. Again, this is a story idea that got away from me. I think my subconscious is trying to tell me that it misses the days of writing novel-length stories where there is plenty of time to develop things.

So much writing to do, so little time.

**

Anyone know where I can find a copy of this week's Last Comic Standing? I love the show and this season it has Doug Benson in the top ten. But of course my evil DVR decided to crap out ten minutes into this week's episode and I can't seem to find a torrent for it. Le sigh. I need my comedic laughs, my friends. It gets me through a day.

My NJ State Home Rebate came in the mail last night. It was a lovely surprise and I was able to finally treat myself to the permanent account over here! No more ads! And 500 user pics! I decided it was meant to be as their prices go up in a few days (only by 10 bucks - still way cheaper than lj). Woo-hoo. So yes, definitely will be moving more of my stuff over here.

**

Must finish at least one of my stories as it's DUE and while I have the extension from the challenge mod, I hate being late on things for deadlines. It's not cool and I have no excuse except my own laziness. Bad Tommygirl.

**

So guys, I'm hoping to slowly catch up on my fic reading and I'm turning to y'all to help me. I'm in the mood for schmoop or angst-with-a-happy-ending. So rec me your faves in: Supernatural, heroes, Stargate Atlantis, Alias, and Roswell.

Who am I kidding? if you know of good schmoop in any other fandoms, feel free to rec it and if I know the fandom, I'll read it. I'm easy like that.

I am trying to accomplish some writing this afternoon. It's not going to well, aside from Party TARDIS stuff that is just for me and [info]larah33's eyes at the moment. (Speaking of, Lara, do you think we should create a back-up of that over here?)

I really need to get to work on my Multiverse story, which is do in four days and finish up my Apocalyptothon piece as well. I feel bad about apocalyptothon at the moment because last year I worked my ass off on a good story (and I do think it's a good one) and I never got one in return. So while I try not to let it affect me, it sometimes does. Le sigh.

Also working on outstanding drabble, first kiss ficlets, five things, and abc pieces that still need to be finished. I have them all written down and I slowly cross them off as I go...so maybe two years from now I'll be caught up.

I was thinking of doing some writing today, preferably on the Dean Crossover 'O Doom since I had yet another idea for who Dean can meet on his journeys and really, I need to stop. This thing is already four chapters long and running about 20,000 words. I'm way too verbose at times. I need to take a step back.

**

Have drabbles to write for people. I did some and will start posting them, but I wanted to finish more before I put them up. I keep planning to work on them during my lunch break, but instead I've been reading Full Frontal Feminism. Interesting book so far. And yes, feminism *is* cool and I think more women should be proud to be feminists. That said, it's a book that's sorta preaching to the converted with me.

**

I did manage to update my website on Sunday with most of my stories (drabbles not included). I hate coding, but I keep it up because I like to have a separate archive of my stuff.

It's hump day, but this week is not going fast enough for my liking. I'm behind on episodes of Traveler (speaking of, is there any fic out there yet?), but started watching season six of Charmed over again because of my love of Chris. Maybe it will inspire me to get back to some of my many Chris stories that need writing.

Of course, that would mean that Dean and Sam Winchester would have to stop living in my brain all the freaking time. Especially jealous!Sam and daddy!Dean, my two favorite things in the world.

Alas I have to wait to purchase the permanent account over here a little bit longer. I totally forgot that i never sent in my check for the dinner part of Winchestercon, so I'm using my extra fun money for that this time around. Oh, to be rich.

**

Writing things to try to work on today:

-Finish up first kisses requests
-Finish up drabble requests
-Work on Jen's b-day fic (it's only a bazillion years late)
-Work on Wyatt Halliwell Cop fic for Amy
-My new Dean entry for [info]voicesinmyhead

**

I'm slowly trying to bring my fic over here from livejournal as another back-up (my website being my first back-up), so I apologize if it appears like I'm spamming.
