Writing - Sometimes I Actually Do It...

[dodger_sister]

I don't have a writing icon. That is sad. So I'm using this icon, because really, my babble about my writing will probably make you snoozy. ;)

I started trying to write for 500 words/a half hour everyday since the beginning of the month.

For a weekly total of 3,500 words.

Last week I wrote on only three days, but still managed 4,222 words.

This week I didn't write all week, at all...until last night, when I apparently decided to do my entire week in one night - 3,792 words.

It was pretty late and I had just come off of having The Nephew for the weekend, so I was mildly incoherent. Which leads me to wonder if any of it was comprehensible or not...but I still typed actual words, so yay me!

Most importantly, I finished a Dean/Cas fic that I have been working on since August. August, peoples. And it is only like 4,500 words, so not epic or anything. I had one scene left to go and I could not get it. For months. But I finished it and that, more than the word count, has made me happy.

I also finished my Thanksgiving fic, which I just started the week before. I was a little worried I wouldn't get it done by, you know, Thanksgiving - (wee!Sammy would not stop chattering away like a crack monkey!). I was mostly worried because I let it sit for a few days without working on it, and that is usually the thing that causes me to never be able to pick something back up again. But I finished my Thanksgiving fic too!

I finished fic! Seriously, I sound like a crazy person right now, but my list of unfinished fics just keeps getting longer, so it is a relief to know I have the ability to write the words "The End".

Okay, that is all.

the flying elephant is one of my MOST celebratory icons :D

[vikingprincess]

and this is the other

[dodger-sister.livejournal.com]

heehee - I've seen that one before - Jay&SilentBob, I would so date them.

[vikingprincess]

I love them more than my husband can comprehend. LOL

[dodger-sister.livejournal.com]

Really? Is your husband not a fan or he just is shocked that you are? Every guy I know wants to date Jay&SilentBob too! ;)

[vikingprincess]

He hadn't watched all of the prior movies when Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back came out, so he missed a ton of the in-jokes while I was chortling like an idiot; in all fairness, that wasn't much fun for him. In his defense, he does enjoy Dogma, though (it's my favorite, too).

[dodger-sister.livejournal.com]

My cousin did that too, took some people to see Strikes Back who had never seen the others and it was a bad idea - those people have a very low opinion of Kevin Smith now. I, however, find Strikes Back to be hysterical fun.

But Dogma is by far the best. It is almost a completely different kind of movie than he usually makes. I mean, it's still Kevin, but it's just...I don't know, better than the others. But I will also always have a soft spot in my heart for Mallrats forever. And if you haven't seen it, I rec Jersey Girl. It is fun and cute and heartfelt, but not, you know, with Jay & Silent Bob, cuz it's not that kind of movie.

[vikingprincess]

Jersey Girl is one that I haven't seen; I think I skipped it because it didn't have the guys in it!

[dodger-sister.livejournal.com]

You should give Jersey Girl a try. It is different from his other movies, and yes, no J&SB, but it is still funny and that really dry smart wit Kevin has and the casting was excellent, plus George Carlin. I highly rec it.

Hard to turn down some George Carlin, I must admit! Perhaps I'll Netflix it tomorrow in my solitary holiday splendor....
