So while I'm very proud/happy for all the people on my friends list who completed Nano successfully this year, I'm more than a little disappointed with myself for not finishing my novel. I made great headway on it and I don't think it's half bad for a first draft, but it's nowhere near 50,000 words or complete. I'd like to put the blame solely on the fact that I work full time while going to school and that I got sick, but that was only part of it. I just lost my motivation somewhere along the way and it stopped being fun. My goal with writing has always been to have fun, even during those moments of the story where nothing is going right, I still like writing.

That wasn't happening this time.

So, I don't know. Maybe Nano isn't for me.

Now, all I need to do is get my motivation back so I can get something down. I've got a glorious idea for my [livejournal.com profile] yuletide fic, so maybe I'll work on that.

So tomorrow I start my month of recs over at [livejournal.com profile] crack_van for The O.C.. I have some of my own favorites that have never been rec'd, but I'm still on the lookout for some good stories. Must find more good stories. I think my problem is that I'm such a picky reader. I don't give much stuff (unless I'm already familiar with the author) a chance if it doesn't entice me immediately...so I don't know if this will make me a good rec'r or not. Hopefully, it will.

But yeah, if you know of any good fics out there, hook me up, buttercup! Hell, if you've got some of your own, pimp away and I shall give it a try!

I also need to do some last minute [livejournal.com profile] movie_recs for my category. I'm not too behind on those, so it's not a problem, I just never think of doing it when I'm near a computer. Why is that?

Okay, I'm off! I've made a list of things from people's Christmas Wish Lists that I think I can grant and hopefully get done before the holidays are over. I'm gonna try to do as many as I can because i love the idea, but alas, the only thing I'm decent with is fiction. My graphics are so pathetic that I only force them upon myself most of the time.

Have a great day!

I actually wrote something! Woo-hoo! [livejournal.com profile] dragonsinger requested Charmed, Chris, and the words "tonight, spill, orb"

So when it comes to Chris, I'm not sure I'm capable of just a drabble... )
