Round 12 Hour 22

Hello fic-rush-ers!

I'll be looking after you for the next couple of hours. How are we all? WiPs still taunting us and more importantly did that infestation of alien fish clear up?

I'm off to bed - it's 9pm, I've been awake since before 5am, and I've written loads (as well as working 3 hours) - I've earned my sleep!

Night all!

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Goodnight! Hopefully I will have more "Turn Left" fic for you by the time you wake up!

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

And have you?! :D

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Sure you don't want to sleep a little longer? ;D

(Actually, I have added some words, but not many. I'm at 387 words since the round began.)

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Hey, I already slept later than normal this morning! (Woke at 4.45am, and then went back to sleep until 6am! Just shows how tired I am...)

Well done! That's 387 more than you had before!

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Good work! Now get to sleep - sounds like you've definitely earned it.

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I slept like the proverbial log!

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Excellent! :D

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Hopefully I'll do the same again tonight - I'm keeping my fingers crossed I've worn the bunnies out!

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Yes, tame those bunnies! The little blighters...

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Heh. Well, um, I ended up writing another 700 words or so last night after I got to bed... So not quite so worn out as I'd hoped! o_O

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Just when you think you've got them beaten...

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Indeed!

And that fic I started last night? has just passed the 2000 word mark! (I made good use of the TARDIS'D Hour 5!)

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

You're certainly forging ahead there! Keep up the good work! :)

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Thanks - I'll do my best!

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

My WIP is still taunting me, but I've sent the Hour 5 strikeforce after it. Words will be written this hour!

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

I've (eventually!) finished revising what I've written so far of this chapter of the fic (and believe me, it needed it), so assuming I can keep going I'm onto actual wordage now...

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Revising can be harder than wordage. Feel accomplished!

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Yay me! Or something... :D

I'm back home.

Now I'm conflicted. On one hand, it's 23:30. And I need to actually get to work early tomorrow.

On the other hand, I'm obviously suffering from a bad case of plot bunny bites, seeing as in the past 24 hours I've written about 6k words, and this feat won't be repeated tomorrow when I return home at 9 after work and Chinese class.

What to do what to do.

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I'd think ahead to the minimum number of hours of sleep you need to get tonight, and commit to that. Then write for awhile tonight until you either get tired, or hit your "must go to bed by this time" deadline.

[pitry.livejournal.com]

Yeah, good idea. To be honest, I think I kinda lost the momentum, so maybe I'll just finish this chapter and then go to sleep. I need to think exactly what would happen in the next chapter, cos other than "And they fight Daleks", I got nothing!

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

"And they fight Daleks!" sounds like an excellent start!

Sleeping tends to help my creativity, though, so hopefully it will also help yours.

[pitry.livejournal.com]

Yeah - I'm just afraid whatever creativity I might have left would evaporate after all the work I should do tomorrow. (Cue "feel sorry for me!")

Hooray, finished the chapter! Now, sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. G'night!

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! :D And good night!

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Ditto to what jjpor said!
