Round 12.5, Hour 19

[http://users.livejournal.com/idlewild_/]

...at night, the Penguins come. You hear a sort of shifting sound, and a vague, delicate, unsettling rustle of feathers... you want to type... Help help am being abducted... but then the singing begins... the eerie singing under the pale glow of the waning moon...

Well, that might be why there were no earlier hourly posts this morning, or it might have been technical difficulties unrelated to penguins.

How is everyone doing? Are there hot, stimulating beverages of choice? Are there words being counted?

I have had my espresso. I have not yet opened my fic. I think the penguins have stolen my brain.

We'll have to stage a penguin hatchery raid to recover all lost nurses, muses, alien fish, brains, and probably by that stage espresso machines.

I need to write an action sequence followed by another action sequence so I need to drink more coffee and get over-excited.

I have opened my fic, but didn't get any further than staring at it. I think I'm getting way too good at procrastination.

Procrastination is practically a life calling for most writers, I think.

I've been so proficient at procrastination last year that I only managed to write one story. In December.

Impressive! Soon you will be up with the likes of the Immortal Douglas Adams in the Not Actually Writing Things stakes!

Hey, welcome to fic_rush!! Have you been here before? What are you working on (or procrastinating on)?

Speaking of procrastination. ;) I found it a few months back and never actually managed to drop in during a round. It might have something do to with the fact that the only thing I wrote last year was my Yuletide story - and that was something like 3 days before deadline.

I have a first draft of a Hawaii 5-0 fic for kissemdanno and I want to get it done before tomorrow's deadline. (Yeah, like that's gonna happen)

Hi! I am back, and slightly ambiguous about whether or not I shall actually write something, but was bored of lying down. :-)

Woohoo!

Not Lying Down is a good start!
