have I mentioned that I am terrible at time management? because I am

[edenfalling]

Okay. Current writing project summary:

1. WIP Big Bang. My posting date is August 15. I should probably have all my chapters done at least a week before that, for editing purposes. I am currently stuck (yet again) halfway through ch. 11 because I suddenly realized I need to explain a bunch of political process stuff, which should have been introduced a lot sooner for proper flow and foreshadowing purposes. I have the terrible feeling I need to go back and make edits to previously posted chapters so the necessary setup for my ending is in place. (This is doubly annoying since I already did make edits on ch. 1 a couple years back. *sigh*)

2. Ladystuck Remix. Due July 25. I looked through my remixee's archive, picked a few likely stories, and then stalled out. This is my most immediately pressing project and I should try to get an outline and a decent stab at a rough draft done by Sunday night.

3. Narnia Fic Exchange. I made my requests and offer today, though I may tweak them somewhat before the signup period closes. Assignments go out around July 29 and stories are due August 31. I don't need to worry about this for a month.

4. Remix Redux. There is no schedule yet and signups probably won't open until next week at the earliest. Again, I don't need to worry for a while.

5. Daredevil Bingo. significantowl wants to set one up. I want to participate! No hard details exist yet.

6. I am not allowed to sign up as a Palestuck pinch hitter. I do not have the time. (Other people should, though!)

7. "Guardian" ch. 17. Yeah, I'll... uh... get back to you on that sometime? *headdesk*

Sympathy.

I'm looking at NFE and Remix and wanting to do them, but I'm pretty sure I shouldn't. I'm still having trouble with focus and writing a lot of fragments that don't add up to anything.

I have also been having trouble with focus and motivation. I am pretty sure it's because an unstable employment situation tends to exacerbate my depression, and since I haven't had secure full-time employment since spring of 2014... :(

Good luck with your WIP Big Bang! *cheers you on*

Thank you! Good luck with your projects!

For me, the problem is that, since March of 2015, I've gotten hit by one family medical emergency after another and can't quite convince myself that we're in the clear. That I'm still not 100% recovered from my own bits of that doesn't help, either.

Medical emergencies suck. :(

Good luck with all of your stories. *patiently waits for more "Guardian" while cheering on the writing of the other stories*
