Wheee!

I went to bed thinking about my SG-1 spook_me fic, and Shapeshifter myths...and woke up at 4:30 a.m. with the hook for my jd_ficathon story! Way to go, muse! 373 words to kick it off to a good start, and now a pause for some research. :-)

Yeah, I might crash in a few hours, but this was the first time in a looooong time that I've been so excited that I simply HAD to get out of bed and rush to the computer. This inspiration is perfect, perfect, perfect. \o/

*cheers*

And the Friendathon stories are going up, and they are sooooooooo good!

[sid]

Yeah, they've been great! And Gen is haaaard.

[ivorygates]

i endorse this statement with the eleven tabs i had to open to write 2000 words.

[sid]

Only eleven? ;-P

[ivorygates]

...i had several already open....

*sighs*

this FACT thing is getting out of hand.

[princessofgeeks]

Rub some of that off on me! I've been so distracted by real life I haven't done much yet but some scribbled journal notes.

GO YOU!!!!!

[sid]

*instructs muse to give you a virtual rubdown* Scribbled notes make a good start. Well, as long as I "scribble" them in a Word document. Actual handwritten scribbles of mine tend to lead to much headscratching. LOL

[annejack]

Go you!!! 'waves pom poms'

[sid]

*beams* If it ends up sucking, it won't be for lack of encouragement! :-D

[jdjunkie]

Ohhh, that is so exciting. *\o/*

I'm at 3,500 words but I'm really not sure about ANY OF THEM. Distress signal just sent to PoG for emergency "will this work in the end???" read. *GULP* If not ... there will be panic and flailing.(Like there isn't anyway).

That deadline is waaaay too close for comfort, baby.

[sid]

*clings* It'll be all right, baby. It always works out! Teh boyz are magic. :-)

[magickmoons]

Hooray!! That is awesome :) Me: I got my idea, figured out my timeline, have notes and random bits of dialogue scattered through two files, and .... really need to actually start WRITING it. Which isn't to say that the procrastination hasn't actually been good, in a way - had a few ideas the past couple of days which kind of change up the order of events and it would be a bitch if I had to rewrite, rather than just reorganize sections in my notes ;)

[sid]

See, you haven't really been procrastinating, you've been waiting for your muse to finish showing you the way! :-)

[magickmoons]

Lol. Let's hope it pays off!!

Being an inveterate procrastinator, I have a tendency to view any type of taking my time as a negative, no matter what current pop psych says about 'procrastination being a key component of success'. But, yeah, sometimes it helps to not just jump in to the deep end and start trying to stay afloat. It's just hard to tell the difference sometimes.

[sid]

Yeah, I'm an expert procrastinator. Sometimes it helps, and sometimes it really bites. :-/

[antares_dw]

4:30 is very early, even for an enthusiastic muse to show up at your bedside. *lol*

But it's great that she gave you an idea for the ficathon story!

[sid]

I immediately forgave her. :-)

[karmageddon]

Wait--your's has a hook? Ugh mine is just porn

[sid]

LOL. Well, I had to lead up to the porn somehow, and I didn't have a clear idea. NOW I DO. \o/

[gategremlyn]

You say this like it's a bad thing. ;-)

[gategremlyn]

I love it when that happens... which it hasn't for a while. Keep typing and typing and typing. *waves pompoms*

[sid]

Rare and wonderful! :-) Thanks!!

[lokei]

Yaaaay!

[sid]

A really nice gift from the muse. :-)

[heather_mist]

Excellent news and excellent muse! I don't know that I would welcome my muse showing up at that early hours just at the moment, but I certainly hope she returns at some point as clearly she is off on some year-long world cruise and has taken all my inspiration with her.

Looking forward to reading your results though!

[sid]

Thank you, dear! The muse, she is a fickle sort...that loves to travel. I hope yours will return at a decent hour. *g*

:)

THOSE are good moments...

Re: :)

[sid]

So rare these days! And SOOOOO good. :-)
