Hey! So, I'm doing NaNo this year. I attempted it a couple of times before (once proper NaNo and once Camp, if I remember right) but it really amounted to little. I did finish writing the draft of a fic that had me suffering for months, but that one ended way before the 50k mark. An the one time I attempted an original, I don't think I managed even 1k.

Actually, that original was like, the vague idea of the story I'm writing this year. And I say vague because damn if it didn't change a whole lot since back then. I think my biggest problem was that I didn't really have anything decided. I had the characters (unnamed, and some didn't have a specified approximate age, even) but I hadn't decided who would be my main characters, or even what my conflict was! It was driving me nuts! So it makes a lot of sense that I barely managed a scene, and not a complete one at that. It felt stilted and awkward and nothing like I imagined it. And so I didn't write anymore, and the story has been percolating in the back of my mind ever since.

( When October came this year and the madness that is NaNo started... )

Hello again! How are you? I'm finally over my cold and so much happier for it, ha! This week was a very busy week but very productive in academic matters, at least. My course-load is rather heavy this year but I'm managing somehow... (let's hope it lasts!)

Mandarin learning is going great! I can at least string basic sentences together, so that's... something :P (It's been only three classes of two hours each, so I count that as a big improvement!)

As for my writing, there's been some:

FICS POSTED:

•  out of the clear blue sky (Fandoms: Teen Wolf & Twilight; M; Pairing: Sheriff Stilinski/Charlie Swan; Crack, Didn't Know They Were Dating.) [With this one I got a bingo line on genprompt_bingo!]

WRITING:

• Finished rewriting what I had of WSCS! Now I must finish the third chapter and write some more and probably by then I'll feel comfortable enough to start posting!

 So... hi? It's been a while -- though at least it's still March! I haven't posted anything here because I've not finished anything to post anywhere this month yet. I mean, I've written some but it has mostly been the WSCS rewrite so.

Classes have just started and I'm excited but also tired, haha. It's gonna be a demanding year, but I think I'm gonna enjoy it a lot.

Today I had my first Mandarin class!! It was super interesting -- we are starting with pinyin and I just know that tones will be the death of me. I'm determined to learn, though!!

I've been watching Nirvana in Fire and it's amazing. A funny thing is that even though it's barely 14 episodes longer than Guardian it's taking me way more time to finish. I think it might be because of plot complexity. (I love Guardian so much but the plot is very straight-forward and there's a rather small cast. Nirvana in Fire is a lot more complex and it has so many characters it's a bit overwhelming.) I've watched up to ep 47 and I'm both looking forward and dreading the episodes that are left, even though I know how it ends because I'm a curious woman and I've already read so much fanfiction for this drama that I've had all the spoilers. (Watching the source material is still breathtaking!!)

As for my writing, well, I hope to have something to post before March ends. We'll see.

 Another week has gone by... this one was weird. I mean, I've written, but I haven't finished anything at all (not even something small). Oh, well, I blame the studying (I have to take a final soon) and also my new obsession with the Guardian drama (!!! Yun Lan and Shen Wei are so darn cute!!!)

Anyway, this is what it is:

FICS POSTED:

• None

WRITING:

• Chapter 14 of i carry your heart
• A scene of my Original Project
• More of the Lily/Narcissa
• Bits and pieces of some random ideas

Hello, again!

I've decided I'm gonna be doing a weekly update post on Fridays so as to keep myself using this journal and also to make a small summary to see how much I've accomplished each week. It'll be kinda like a self-challenge, or sth. As I didn't do any previous update this one will summarize what I've done since the beginning of the year instead of just this last week, but meh.

2. A Future Changed (Fandom: Harry Potter. Pairing: None. Ch: Minerva McGonagall, Harry Potter.)
3. In the Face of Fear, Bravely (Fandom: Harry Potter. Pairing: None. Ch: Lavender Brown.)

WRITING

1. WSCS Drabbles 1,2, and 1/2 of 3. Outlining.
2. A sequel to IFFB crossover with Teen Wolf.
3. Cracky Teen Wolf/Twilight Crossover.

So, I finally caved and got a DreamWidth journal. I hope I will actually use it (though at least I have the intention to, because I do plan on writing this year and because of that I've decided to join a community here.)

This is mostly a try-out post as I've never been here before and I want to familiarize myself with the site a bit.
