just when you think I've stopped prattling about it, I start anew

[slumber]

I crossed the 25K mark on my het_bigbang on July 10. I nearly broke 30K a week later, and then... I stopped. For about five weeks. Then I rearranged things (SOBBING I LOVE SCRIVENER), cut out-- oh, what's 10K words?-- and started writing again towards the end of August. In the interest of not getting ahead of myself, I will just post numbers and leave the commentary for another day, preferably when I have finished the whole damned thing. :|

In other writing news, hogwarts_houses (which I signed up for) has started posting, and will post throughout September. It's house-focused, and so far there have been some great pieces for it. I'm talking extreme minor characters (the Hufflepuff one is about a part-vampire once featured on JKR's site) and even an OC/OC one for Slytherin that was about Draco's grandfather's brother.

I also signed up for smutty_claus and I have an outstanding prompt for interhouse_fest that I still have to sort out plot-wise but can't wait to start writing. Smutty Claus assignments get sent out September 21ish, so I'm hoping to knock both out by October.

And then it's No-Write November for me, thankyouverymuch. Whew.

I wanted to try Scrivener out but didn't really do it until I started getting bogged down by my current fic, so it was pretty useful in helping sort everything out, especially since I could first create the structure of the plot in outline form and then slot scenes in place. There's a "Research" folder for Scrivener as well, so if you have any notes or pages that you periodically look into for research material you can store it there.

Let me know how both Scrivener and Aeon work out for you! :)

(SOCLOSE, dude. SO. CLOSE. Gah.)
