A New Day. A New Year.

dragonheartEnded 2011 with the same people that I started it with. Here's hoping that I end 2012 with that same group of friends. Later today we will drive down to my parent's house for a traditional dinner of corned beef and sourkraut (as my nephew calls sauerkraut) with my sisters and their families. A great way to start a new year.
Later, I hope to actually sit down and write. I really don't have the motivation, but I am going to force myself to do it. I may or may not post it as my confidence has hit a wall - but my goal is to write, not necessarily to post. Crossing my fingers.
I hope each of you are spending the first day of 2012 in a way that makes you happy.

Date: 2012-01-01 06:50 pm (UTC)You are so right - it's important to write even if you don't post. In future I will probably be only posting completed works, and letting things sit and percolate for awhile after I've written them, so I can go back and polish before putting them out there for the world to see. My one piece of advice - "don't post" doesn't equate to "delete". You should keep the stuff, even if it's not publishable quality. There are always kernels of good stuff in there that you can use elsewhere. Just look at Zaedah and how many fics she's gotten out of all those scraps of paper! XD
HAPPY NEW YEAR, Sweetie!!

Date: 2012-01-01 08:55 pm (UTC)I did write a 1000 word story this morning and I will probley post it later just for the accountability.

Date: 2012-01-01 09:06 pm (UTC)You're not getting off that easy, see??
BTW, would you consider signing up for CaseStory Big Bang? I just threw my hat in the ring - I figure if I can write 78,000 words, I can write 10,000 easy-peasy. I'm going to expand on my Sixty Seconds one-shot that I wrote for lfws last year. It'll count towards my 150K for InkingItOut.
Yay for posting a new story!! See? You're already down to 74,000 for your goal! Keep this up, and you'll be done in less than 3 months!

Date: 2012-01-01 07:06 pm (UTC)I posted my t/z and k/d stories last night just to get them off my computer. Upon posting and reading online I like them a little better.

Date: 2012-01-01 09:01 pm (UTC)I read those stories and I loved them. I especially love the T/Z story because you took that prompt and turned into a wonderfully touching scene. And I am falling more and more in love with your K/D stuff. Sometimes I feel like I am cheating on T/Z because I love them so much. Yes, I iz a crazy fan girl. I know it and admit it.
I wrote a bit of an angsty Tony story this morning, I will probley post it later today after I give it another read thru just for the accountability. I don't love it, but I don't hate it either. It's just kinda middle of the road, but right now I will take that!

Date: 2012-01-01 10:56 pm (UTC)I signed up to write in my first big bang - the casestory one. I think you have signed up for two (aren't you the ambitious one?)
I already have an idea for this story, but I could collab with you on something else.

Date: 2012-01-02 06:36 am (UTC)I have too many ideas. I could sit down for days and write. My muse is sparked by anything and everything, including the new diary I brought.
Don't stress yourself out and maybe look for prompts or a prompt comm.
Jan 1st was hangover day. Jan 2nd was work.

Our neighbours came over in the afternoon. We think it's either a Scottish thing or this area thing or their own thing. We were most surprised the first year when we moved up here and they rang to say they'd like to pop over. Since then apart from one year they were away they've come over each year.
So J and I are having our New Year's day lunch today.
Sorry, that was more information than you needed/wanted/expected *wry grin*
I hope you had/have a lovely time with your family.
