Yuletide is in the air! And--EEP! Time is running out!
This evening, I realized I can't take it easy and just poke the Yuletide fic whenever I feel like it. The fic is due on December 20th, but I want to upload no later than the 18th. Three days to tweak after beta reading means beta done by the 15th. One week for beta means sending the fic to them by the 8th. That means finishing no later than the 7th.
Today is the 3rd. Or rather the 4th, as I type this.
Oh dear. ^^;;
I'm almost through with the banging-out, which is when I just type like mad and plan out what will happen, record random lines of dialogue, make notes to myself, and just get as much of the fic's events on paper as I can, without regard to SPaG, word choice, or readability. It's just me talking to myself in one big stream of consciousness recording.
In fact, now I think about it, the banging-out is pretty much done. I'll read it over tomorrow with a (hopefully) clear mind, firm up the timeline, look for glaring errors (I caught a major logic fail today! Whew!) and maybe even begin the actual writing. Here's hopin'!
No, I'm not stressed out about it. I know I can write a solid and enjoyable fic, I simply have to, you know, WRITE it. Wheeee!
