don't regret this life...

Remix stories are due tomorrow night and I finally figured out what I want to write. I started a few different things, kept going back and forth on a few stories, and then decided on one, but I sorta talked myself out of it. The idea I had was all about a character that I just can't seem to get a grip on. Honestly, I blame all the amazing writers out there. So many people do that specific character justice and I fear I would just suck.

And I don't want to suck when I'm writing a story for someone else.

Okay, I never want to suck, but sometimes, it happens. I turn into McGhee from NCIS, except I don't shred, just highlight and delete from Word.

But so, I reread this story today on my lunch and suddenly I had an idea.

And it's something I never thought about writing and maybe tackling a huge challenge twenty four hours before it's due isn't my best idea, but I have notes, people. And if I can get the tone down, I think this will be really good.

So pray that I get the tone. It all goes back to that not wanting to suck thing.

Between notes on the story and some personal universe writing with larah33, I totally made my goal of 200 words and then some. Woo-hoo.

Now if only I could cross some of the many things of my fannish to-do list. I would just be so damn happy.

But taxes are done and I have no big plans this weekend (the boy cancelled on me to work - he's so lucky my lazy self can understand love of job) and I'm actually (::fingers crossed::) feeling good...so aside from some errands tomorrow, I want to get a bunch of writing/reading/random things done that I've been putting off.

Because there are a few million things to do and cricketkate sent me her requests for the three stories for Sweet Charity, so I should at least try to work on one of those.

Alrighty, off to try to catch up on friends list as much as I can before Real Time with Bill Maher and then I'll most likely collapse in bed.

Ciao darlings!

I'm hyperventilating just at the thought of leaving Remix that late. Both years I've participated I picked my story right away, and wrote it as soon as possible. The repercussions if one doesn't are too scary to contemplate! I hope yours turns out (or has turned out, by now) well.

I am the world's worst procrastinator with everything. In college, I was the same way. And every time I would yell at myself and swear it wouldn't happen again - except it would.
