I am in Phoenix. It's the hottest I've been since... well, since the last time I was here. Of course, that was also a strange stint we did over a few summer days and it was meant to be hot. Was not expecting to be here in October for a string of days well over a hundred degrees. It doesn't matter, though. I'm as close to content as I've been in a long time.
Yesterday, after shopping and eating, I wrote. Just wrote. Well, read a little, too. Finished a book, as a matter of fact. The story was meant to be a one-shot I could use at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
octoberwriting since I'm supposed to be working on several (read: 10) 1000 word fics. I can't use this for both octoberwriting and syfybigbang because the big bang can't be anywhere else until January! JANUARY! This is one of those reasons that I write at the last minute. I'm crap at waiting for people to read my stuff. But, perhaps, I can write something better if I write it early and have time to have someone check over it for me. Still, I'm not good at waiting.
Perhaps I'll move to other fandoms for my one-shots. I have to write a longer story revolving around Halloween themes for the end of the OW challenge and that is going to be my Alice/Sirius story that I tried to finish for themarauderbigbang and failed. The problem was that I lost momentum and never had time or energy to pick it back up. I think I've fixed the solution to the plotting and the story may be the better for it by being smaller. Only 6-15k instead of 25k. I love that I have a go to werewolf in my fandoms!
Not that I couldn't write something from Broken Wolf but that is for November. Signed up today and am very happy where this plotting is taking me. I have the antagonist lined up much better than I did before I took my time driving here. I get the best plotting done while driving. Have known for some time who the protag was going to be but I think she's more rounded now. Have a love interest (although he gave me fits) but still need to find her support structure - friends, colleagues, family. And, once again, I need NAMES! How strange is it that I can come up with names every day for anyone that needs them but I have the hardest time finding my NaNo names. I think I'm afraid to name them because it cements their personality. Just as I'm afraid to finish because that means it's done. As with every other writer, I'm afraid of failure. Now I just wish I could move past it like so many others.
Okay, I must go eat lunch. Sister is growling because she's hungry. If I don't keep her fed and well-rested, bad things could happen!
