Writing Projects

I'd been debating doing yuletide this year because there were three fandoms that I actually had requests for this year, but now I've found out one (the one I wanted most) won't be making the final cut. :( I think I'll look into pinch hitting instead.

On the writing front the idea of NaNowrimo scares the heck out of me and even mini_nanowrimo seems a bit too demanding, but wrisomifu seems right on the money for me. It "is a writing group for underachievers who enjoy the company of same. To join, all you need to do is commit to writing (original fic, fanfic, to do lists, your thesis, your memoirs - anything!) for at least ten minutes each day for the entire month of November. And you are permitted - encouraged even! - to complain bitterly about every single word."

I can do that. And I thought I'd mention it in case anyone else felt the same way.

Pinch hitting is a good way to go, because you can basically choose what you're going to write rather than sitting there awaiting the assignment. Although seeing the requests flood your inbox can be a bit over-whelming.

Yeah, that's what I was figuring. There are a lot of fandoms on the list I could write for, but only with very specific characters or prompts. I had 3 could probably do no problem, but with the removal of one of them it makes things a bit harder.

Just sit back, watch the requests come in and I guarantee you'll see one that you immediately think "YEAH, I can write that" and the fic will appear nearly full-blown in your mind.

That really is my hope. I tend to do best under pressure and with a prompt in hand.
