I will not manage to finish the (currently) 4K story that I started for [community profile] fffc, alas. Star Trek (AOS), a mystery-adventure, and I only have parts 1 and 2 written, and there's a 3 yet to come. Also: still haven't quite worked out what's actually happening. This would seem to be a flaw when writing a mystery-adventure.

Going to have to link up all the fics I wrote for [community profile] fffc at some point. Although, I imagine most people who are interested in my fic-writing have subscribed to my AO3 account so they get notified when I post stuff.

aaaaaanyway. I'm trying to write a 24 fic with 24 super-short chapters (<500 words). I had the notes, it seemed doable a week ago. *eyerolls at self*

And I'd like to sub the next fic in Meeting Halfway for the [community profile] fffc. If it would only finish! (I don't actually know where that one ends up either. Like, I'm not sure if they're back together or getting back together or broken up, or even on the same freaking page.

However I've been up since 5:30am, though, and I should probably have some coffee and do the shopping before it gets busy. Always best to do the shopping before it gets busy...

And I got stuck in Act II of the novel. "Things Happen Where We Learn More About The World The Heroine Has Landed In". You know, maybe I should just kick out Act II and start Act III and then come back and fill in the scenes that I need instead of writing around in circles. I mean, that's how I usually plan a fanfic: I know how its' going to end and what has to happen to get me there in the process. Which is why longfics take so long for me, because I'm so busy working through the middle of the fic which fills in all the details I need for the ending.

Hmmmm

Coffee. Coffee first.

I know that's probably supposed to parse as prof-ish, but I keep reading it as pro-fish

I hope you got your coffee and that the writing is going well.

Ah, yes, "I know there's a plot in here, but I have no idea what it is or where it's going ..." is such a frustrating state!
