Oh, cool! ^_^ I'm extra happy to hear that today - I'm feeling crabby and slumpish for no real reason today (well, there's reasons, the main one being probable PMS - but not good reasons). I'm trying to work on the most light-hearted of my in-progress Eames/Arthur fics, though, so. ^_^

Glad to be of help, even indirectly, and good writing! *hugs*

[roily_rogue]

I hope you're feeling better and that you wrote some more! *hugs* And thanks again!

I am mood-swingy as hell, and that's not usually a symptom of PMS for me, so I don't even know! ^.^;; I'm getting in at least the NaNo minimum each day, so the least I'm writing daily is 1,667. Sometimes it's only a little more than that. But, hey, progress is progress. And hopefully I'll get a lot written Thursday-Saturday. I've got, like, four Arthur/Eames fics ongoing - gotta get 'em done! ^o^



So, what are you writing? I hope you don't have to work on Black Friday! *hugs*

[roily_rogue]

I can definitely sympathize with the mood swings. Just, you know, hang in there and it will pass.
That sounds like good progress to me! I don't know how much I average - I tend to just add some here and take off some there. I edit way too much when I should just write. But oh well. It's a labor of love.

It's an Arthur/Eames friendship fic taking place post-Inception. I kind of wanted to explore how their relationship might have changed after it, but it's also a kind of study of Arthur and his mom and it all turns out a little dark and macabre. I don't know. I'm worried that it lacks focus, but I'll just plug along and see how it goes.

And I do work on Black Friday! From six to midnight!:( *hugs*

I'm more used to mood... fluctuations. Not actual swings. =.=;; But, yeah, I'll be all right.

At the beginning of the year I was making sure to write a thousand words a day, even though sometimes I had to count journal posts and emails, when I didn't work on actual fanfiction. But around May I started to lose it. Hopefully NaNo will have gotten me back in the habit. ^_^

Ooh, yay, "Inception" fic!! *waves pom poms* Good luck with that!! I swear, most of my fic lacks focus and tends to become character studies - or at least it seems that way. I don't see anything wrong with that!Most authors almost need to do something like that when they first start writing for a new fandom. ^.^

Boooo, I'm sorry! But that's six in the evening? So hopefully most of the insanity will be over? *crosses my fingers for you* I was seasonal at Circuit City one year and worked 15 hours as a greeter. =.=;;

Sounds like a good habit!

The thing is, I love character studies. I love reading them and I want to write them, but when I sit down to do so, my brain goes "No, you have to have an actual PLOT/STORY in there, see, with a proper STRUCTURE or there's no point" and then I obsess and get all perfectionistic and it takes ages and then I give up. But this time I won't! Give up, I mean. I think.

Erf. One can only hope.
And 15 hours as a greeter?? That sounds like a nightmare!

It was a really great habit, until I completely faltered and failed. But here's to hoping I can get back to it and keep it up! ^_^

Most of my fics become character studies, whether I want them to or not. In fact, they'd all be a LOT shorter if I could just stay out of the characters' heads. But... when that's a large part of the fun, why should I censor myself? ^_^;;

So, I sort of do the oppose of you - want to write plot and put in character studies, whereas you want character studies and have to add plot.... But, you know what? The best thing about reading good fic is seeing HOW characters react to events. And so we're BOTH doing it RIGHT, imho! ^_~

It was pretty bad. When I stand in one place, my back and hips start to hurt like crazy (I'm on my feet all day at work, always have been at every job I've had, but that's moving around a lot). However, after the first five hours I went numb and so the next ten weren't so painful. Still, not anything I want to ever repeat! ^o^;; I hope your evening/night goes a lot better! *hugs* Sorry you have to work.

Truth! As long as stuff gets written, right? I sort of hit a snag again, though, but I think I'll manage it. It's a focus issue at this point - what's the main point of the story and all that.

Gah, that sounds horrible.
My evening was alright. Not as bad as I thought it would be.

Oh, man, that used to be my problem, so badly that you don't know! Back when I was writing fic for anime and RPGs, I used to lose track of what I was supposed to be doing... and sometimes I never regained the thread! Even my one-shot (Nine in the Afternoon) went places I didn't expect. Even though I managed to keep it relatively tight and "short" for me. (It's sad that a 21,000 word story is short by my personal standards.) Good luck with your story!! *waves pom-poms*

Working on holidays (and the day after, in the case of Black Friday) sucks. Working retail in general sucks. But I'm glad you survived! *hugs*
