The great thing about being bedridden (on the weekend no less) is the opportunity to accomplish things.
I re-did the whole site because the way I had it was just bothering me, especially the banners I had originally made.
I've typed 3,000 words--3,000 words!—onto Shade 3, and it's coming together nicely. I'm also off to post the new chapter of brittle bones.
I may feel like crap and hate that my weekend is slipping through my fingers, but at least I'm not wasting it.
 
I have no good excuse for not updating this site, I mean, it's the least I could do—seeing as I've been lacking in regards to ff.net also. But I can tell you all that I don't have school tomorrow, and that all of my time and energy (after I shower, eat, and run over to my grandma's house to give her a hand) will be dedicated soley to the fanfiction world.
I did work on TIAD a bit on thursday, and I've hit the half-way mark. If I can keep my eyes open I'll work on it today and have it all shiny and polished by tomorrow. The same applies to the update of 'brittle bones.'
Shades of Grey is a whole different story. I've been working on it, I swear I have, but it's only been sentences and paragraphs at a time. And of course there's 'negative progress:' deleting what I've worked on for the day and then some.
The new quarter starts on Tuesday and sadly I don't have as much free time as I did this first quarter. Meaning I don't get to sleep-in in the mornings or leave throughout the day to come home and work on fanfiction. So updates are probably going to be even more sparse.
 
So we all know I'm a bit unorganized, but I've devised a strict regiment to help get myself caught up with the fics, and to also be more efficent. Understand that my school work and social life take priority over the following list: (for the most part. I'll do anything to avoid homework)
1.) At least two drabbles a night for brittle bones.
B- Edit chapter 12 of Romy Round Robin. (not included in the 'every day' list.
2.) At least a page and a half a night for TIAD.
B- Editing time not included.
3.) Dedicate rest of my free time (if any) to Shades of Grey.

There we have it. It seems unrealistic, but back in the day I could crank out chapters for brittle bones like no body's business, and likewise with Scorch and TIAD. I just need to disipline myself and get back to how I used to be. (damn senior year, too many parties and not enough ibuprofen—make it so I don't wanna get up in the morning) Bear with me, folks! I WILL get there!
 
...again. The stories just ain't happenin' for me.
This weekend took a lot out of me; I need sleep, but I don't know when I'm gonna get it in...I might have to fake sick tomorrow.
Updated brittle bones and TIAD, and I'm tempted to update SOG as well.
Any suggestions on how to get passed this writer's block? I've tried all the little tricks I've heard of, but nothing is working. Grr.
