Can not sleep...

[jedi_of_urth]

...muses won't let me. The muses have been in overdrive but apparently their version os rest involved backing into the usual territory of reminding me how much more I need to think about before I can attack certain sections of the story. This is not restful enough for my sleep but they also refuse to give me any more thought on the actual writing side even though I'm up.

FYI, I wrote more that 13,500 words *today* (well technically it was yesterday but since I haven't slept it feels like it's the same day). In one day I basically doubled my writing for the past six weeks of bigbanghood and it's all in medieval soup opera territory with little plot to be seen (a little sneaked in but now I have no idea how to get it back in focus). If I could write like that regularly, I'd have no worries about NaNoWriMo because I'd need like a week and of course no one would care about the lack of plot there (not that it's too much of a deterrent in fanfic always either I admit. Spending huge amounts of time on Guy's tortured backstory is kind of the point of the story after all.)

It it weren't spread over two stories I'd almost have myself a 30k story as is, now I need to get one and preferably both of them back on track to to tell the full story, in admittedly probably a more than 30k words each (and on one of them, but unfortunately not the one I worked on today) I'd already intended it to be part of a series, but even the one part I thought I do for BBH is looking like it's going to be longer than I intended.

I do have some modly stuff I'm reminded I need to do for the comm, but maybe the muses will late me sleep now that I've bragged about them to the world (of at least my corner of the interwebs).


Any complete nonsensical aspects of this post should in no way be taken as a reflection on my actual writing ability, but should be blamed on the muses for not letting me rest when I wanted to.

holy pickles, batman! 13,500 words??? I thought I was doing good with my 1k here and there! hahaha

Well, good job!!

...and I won't feel too bad if mine is longer than 30k now. :) *whistles innocently*

OMG, well done! If for any reason you'd like some input from a neutral external source (and frankly, usually I don't, so I understand, if "NO" is the answer)... I only offer as you wrote, "...but now I have no idea how to get it back in focus." Good luck! I can't wait to read it! ;-)
