I did manage to turn in my
blind_go submission, at 5AM, in much the same mood as when I turned in my
subrosa_tennis, i.e. profound hatred of the world and everything in it. Never again. _O_ I said it the last time but if you can't learn a lesson the second time around... Besides I'm really getting old. These days I can't be arsed to stay up all night, nothing feels that important anymore.
At least the fic itself is not as much of a trainwreck as the Subrosa one. ^^; In my conception it's incomplete - as in actual chunks missing - and I'll probably have to trash the last 500 words or so I wrote (it's always a bad sign when you don't remember what they were), but some ragged semblance of the point is there. It's just sort of a pity because I tried to make it as obvious as I could, and as it stands the last 1/4 of it doesn't read like anything I'd've let out the door. XD
By the time the guessing period is over I'll have a proper version ready to go up. XD
Five Things I did when I should have been writing Blind Go:
1) paid work
2) beat head ineffectually against my SSBB story
3) updated my website with everything I wrote since last August
4) read The Etched City by K. J. Bishop
5) spammed my writing journal with posts re: how I couldn't post my wordcount because it would be spoilers
As you can see I've learnt to procrastinate by being productive in some other domain. At least then you can say you got something done at the end of the day. =_=
Five Things you probably did not know about me as a fanfic writer (if all you did was go to the HnG section of my site and read the fics there)
1) I don't write straightforward pairing fic unless it's PWP. I write Disguised Essays On Canon + Whatever Else Is Occupying My Head At The Time, such as candomblé. Or tango. Or Choderlos de Laclos. ^^;
2) If I can get away with not writing it, I won't write it. If I wrote it but it can be cut, I'll cut it.
3) I'm not better at dialogue than everything else, but I find it easier to write dialogue than anything else.
4) I edit as I write. When I reopen my WIP document I get myself back in the zone by running an edit on everything I wrote to date. So the first chunk I wrote (which is not necessarily the beginning) is much more polished in word choice than the last chunk I wrote.
5) I haven't actually re-read Hikaru no Go for, oh, three years.
More music on the way, as the radio stations say. *g*
