Yep... I'm sitting here in school, doing nothing productive (not that there's really anything *to* do), and started thinking about the lastest fic I've been working on. It was sort of a dumpage of mushy goo (don't worry, *I* know what that means) and I've been trying to figure out if it's salvageable. And that got me thinking about how long it takes me to write just one fic, either from want of perfectionism or writer's block or lack of time or whatever. I've only actually posted four stories online, but I have so many more.

I'm wondering if I should try to give myself a deadline, of maybe one fic per week. But I can't figure out if that'll put undue pressure on me that I don't want, or if it'll actually help me to get things moving along. What do you guys do? Does anyone have any suggestions? Other than "go at your own pace". I've got that one figured out. *g*

Should I give myself a deadline, and if so, what has worked for you/people you know?

Thanks everyone! Love you all.

*smooches to all*

I sketch it out, then I write till it's done. I aim for a min 500 words a day, a chapter a week but - considering my current wip is almost 2 years in the writing and currently 95,000 words long, I'm probably not the person to advise you. Honestly, the notion of writing a fic in a week is an alien concept to me. *g* But that's probably not a good thing. :o)

Oh, dear. That sounds suspiciously like *organization* to me. And an utter lack of procrastination. How terrifying. *shudder*

LOL!

Sadly I am the very queen of procrastination as my Twitter page will attest. :o)

Procrastination and I are old buddies. :P
