Where I place the fics

Okay so the blogging thing is not very consistent but I thought about it today so I figured I could get a few words in before I start my 500 count. 

It's really been like famine to feast with my writing. Since I last posted about my writing glut, I've found an old Cap fic I drafted back in 2016, decided it really wasn't that bad and am now editing/rewriting it. 

For some reason I set myself a weird limitation of swapping between two stories at a time, with one being an original work. Every 2 weeks I reset my brain and start work on one of the two projects, but in doing so I set aside the longfic because I was now working on my 2016 rewrite, and it took me until yesterday to realize that, no, I have 3 projects I want to work on, why force myself into this weird one or the other.

So now, I'm still on the 2-week schedule, but now I'm switching between 3 stories instead of two. It's interesting as they all are at very different stages so I'm working all of the writing muscles. I'm zero drafting a long fic, doing a first-round edit and significant rewrite of my original story and on like a second round (with substantial rewrite/additions) on my 20K 1930s fic. Context switching is a bitch, but the mental workout is good. 

I have to admit I like the 3rd round editing of the 1930s fic, that point where you've finally got it past the sucking stage and are beating it into shape, and  the bones are mostly there... That's a good feeling. This is the start of my kink series for my new fandom so I think it will be like NewSub!John with linked stories about a new set of idiots restraining each other through time. I am going to try to switch POVs this time. I'm excited to get into both headspaces. I already have 3, wait no 4 stories running through my head. 

I've also upped my daily word count for drafting days to 500 on weekdays and 750 on weekends, holidays. I feel like I'm never going to get anything done unless I put the words down every day. 

I'm really happy to be back.
