Friday Roundup! What Are You Doing This Weekend? (10/20)
What's up with this weekend, folks? I'm doing the usual. I have a bit of a buffer, but I want to pad it even further if I can in preparation for some upcoming busy times.
Writing is where it is at for me this weekend. Whenever I have spoons and a spare moment, that is. How about all of you?
No buffer as of yesterday's posted chapter & I'm halfway through the next chapter so I think I won't be posting for a couple of weeks. Gonna grab a couple of hours tomorrow to finish the WIP chapter & maybe start (or at least plan) the next one.
Getting close to the end of this story & I think I might be unconsciously dragging it out because once I'm done with it, I have no excuse not to move onto other ones. I have a couple of big life changes coming my way over the next few months & while taking a little time off from planning to write is definitely the break I need, right now the thought of starting a new story feels a little like another project I just don't have the bandwidth for. Need to keep reminding myself that the plan for future stories is no posting any of it until it's all finished!
I truly admire anyone who can wait until an entire story is finished before putting it up. I like having a buffer, but I don't think I have ever written the entire thing (unless, of course, it is a one-shot) before posting. I think I had six chapters written before first posting my current big story. Recently I had completely run out of buffer, but now I'm back up to three.
Buffers feel so nice!
Haha, we'll see how good my resolution re not posting until it's all written goes! On the plus side, I have a few shorter stories (3-6 chapters) that I can write & post while I'm working away at the next long-fic, so I reckon that'll help.
Due to multiple life situations I cannot be at my usual computer to do anything digital drawing wise (also abysmal internet connections). Before that happened though I did finish a script and got 4ish pages done for the next short story.
So at best I'm just note taking and doodling in my sketchbook. When the internet is kind I get to wander over here and read things on Ao3 and ComicFury.
Cursed life situations!
