Present and Unaccounted for

Soooooooo, guess what I haven't got a single word of yet?

I am not worried though. Okay, maybe a little, but if I actually sit down and get typing I know I can knock out 3000-5000 words a day no problem. Only every time I open word something happens, like the excruciating pain, or an out of the blue all day bbq suddenly appearing on my patio (seriously). I'm getting a little nervous about opening up word.

I do plan to get started on that tonight, get it written and then go do the few pics I had planned to include ... as soon as someone comes along and makes me put the manga away ... *headdesk* Can't. Stop. Reading!

Seriously though, Crimson Spell is surprisingly good and Earthian has an interesting premise so far.

This is not writing yet though is it?

I should totally just do it all here in an entry that way I can get you guys to help keep me accountable to myself (that made sense I swear!) oh! I know, Google docs! Real time typoing (that was not) on my part, bouncing around from scene to scene with inline notes (that I somehow always manage to remove all of ... the day will come, I know it!) and anyone who is interested can just pop in whenever and see how it is going? Anyone up for that? Yeah?

Here you go. Drop in whenever comments are totally open.

*edit* 1400 words! With time out for dinner. I have just been informed it is movie time (we are watching edward scissorhands) so I am packing it up for tonight and will be back to writing either way later tonight or tomorrow. Was fun though, especially chatting with people when they dropped in.

Sooooo, the fishing poll is up for sim_spiration's Go Fish. I'm a little ... nervous(?) about the genre that has taken an early lead for me, though I am REALLY looking forward to seeing some of the other genre/writer match-ups that are emerging.

There is still an issue I need to work out though. That issue is:

Do I go with already established characters and either AU or just a side story that is not relevant to the main plot they are already in or completely new characters?

I can see positives and negatives for both. I think I will wait until closer to having a firm result from the poll in mind before I decide that ... or, as usually happens something will wander through my head and decide for me. Or maybe I will settle it with a poll here.

Meanwhile, I think I have some reading to do I am not exactly familiar with a couple of the genres. Time to go brush up on those.
