1 a day for 10k: Prelude

It's been a bad month for writing.

 

The second chapter of Full Metal Bitch has been a bitch to write, reminding me why I should have stuck to my personal rule not to post the first chapter of a chaptered fic until every chapter is done. Facing Fearful Odds has stalled out right before the finish line. Alike in Heart has suffered from me serving too many masters, an unclear endgame, and drama/angst overload from writing the two abovementioned fics. (AiH badly needs some humor injected into it. It stars Sokka for God's sake.)

 

But if you want to write, you gotta write.

 

There's a writing drive for the Big Bang -- which Alike in Heart is my entry for -- to get to ten thousand works in ten days. That way we'll have rough drafts to submit at the end of the month. I've promised publicly to get the next chapter of FMB out by the end of the month. And Facing Fearful Odds... can wait.

 

Starting tomorrow I'll be doing a race for the finish with both FMB and AiH, alternating between the two. My goal is to do a thousand words a day on each project, from May 15th to May 25th.


Starting Points

FMB: (Ch. 02) 8,068
AiH: (Pt. 1 of 4) 5,697
