polgara_5So I have a favor to ask of you all. A lead up to why I need this favor. Starting in January I'm taking a six month hiatus from writing. Just writing, not the internet. I'll be around, just not actively writing. Why this crazy move you ask? As some of you already know, I'm pregnant, expecting my first child. Baby is due at the end of December, literally, the end of December. I don't want to have divided focus during those first few months while we're trying to do the whole adjusting thing. BTW, no we don't know what we're having yet, and the earliest we can find out is Aug. 14. Cause I know the first thing you want to know after when the baby is coming is what you're having. I know, cause I'm the same way. ;)
Still, you're asking yourself, what's the favor? I'm really wanting to get as much of the sequel to Undertow written as possible before the baby arrives. And one of my goals for the year was to try and write 20k words in one month. August is light for me, work wise and baby planning wise, plus I've got a week off later in the month. So I'd like to use the time to get a lot of it knocked out and maybe a drabble or two.
My problem is that my muse is being stubborn and is stalling on the whole writing thing. So if you guys could, periodically throughout the month give me a push and inquire about my progress that would be soooooo helpful. I know, usually I hate it when people pester me about my writing, but I'd really like to get as far along as possible. So email me, lj messenger me, poke me while I'm online on yahell, whatever. Feel free... just remember to be kind. ;)
In effort to get the muse back into the whole writing groove (cause I really haven't written much in the last few months since I was working two jobs and going through the whole fatigue during the first trimester thing) I'd like to open myself up to a few prompts for some drabbles. Just give me a pairing or group of characters you'd like to see, and something to associate with them. I'll take the first five prompts given, unless I get through them quickly then I'll take a few more.
And yes Ava, I know I still owe you that Buffy/Castiel fic. I swear, it's percolating.
