I win at life!!! Or at least today.

[sarren]

I wrote a 7000 word, plot focussed, Leverage/Keen Eddie crossover fic in three days, and submitted it, betaed, well within the deadline.



I finally realised that I don't write for fun, but I do have fun writing. I need motivation - a challenge, a deadline, or a complete lack of fic to READ in whatever fandom I happen to be obsessed with (because I'm lazy and I don't need to write it if I can read it).

Congrats.

Now I just need drive like yours (to finish my fics.)

I am the worst at procrastinating...right up until the last possible second I judge I can get something done by the deadline. Years of being a manager have finally given me a skill that overcomes my absolutely shit student study habits.

...in other words it's not so much drive or desire so much as it is compulsion to meet deadline or perish trying.

You're awesome!!! 7k?!

*bounce*

wintercompanion is the fic challenge I submitted to, and it's just opened - they're doing a story every other day, mine isn't for a while, but I loved the one from today.

I'd love to know if you like it too :)

Hey sweet

I'm not in a headspace right now where I can read Jack/Doctor willy nilly, though I am looking forward to yours \o/ I'm too obsessive on specific fandoms atm. It's actually funny, cos my first Yuletide three years ago my request was for a Jack/Doctor reunion!

Awesome! :) *loves*

Heh heh, same here re. the lack of fic in my fandoms. I don't think I would have written more than 2 stories in my life if I did not have the tendency to fall in love with 4-people fandoms. Happy writing!

And you do it in your second language!!!

Holy Guacamole!

You DO win!

Plus? I WANT TO READ THAT.

Hee, thanks! I want you to read it too! I've been waiting for the person who !paid! me to write it to confirm that she's happy with it before I post...but she hasn't responded yet and I am going to crack and post it soon. *is edgy*
