Last night I dreamt that the woman I act as Editorial Assistant for was in the police force and she and Chris from Ashes to Ashes were hunting Jigsaw from the Saw movies. I have a bad feeling Jigsaw was looking to make Chris his new apprentice. Still, it was a surprisingly good dream, and a nice change from the usual motifs of being with my family and trying to pack/tidy up huge amounts of stuff and/or catch trains.

I have developed another cold. Clearly the world just doesn't WANT me to be productive.

This weekend is going to be the weekend in which I Begin Christmas, so if you would like a card from me, please go HERE.

I have now finished the first four days of the 12dayschristmas challenge, but that still leaves eight to go. So if you have any more prompts for me, please go HERE. will write porn for food

OMG, you do them in ORDER????

My tallies fall as follows:

12 Thundering Triumphs - 4
11 great frustrations - 5
10 late night Moments - 6
9 misadventures - 3
8 weird left turns - 5
7 regretted decisions - 3
6 commiserations - 3
5 fab excuses -3
4 panicked flights -1
3 unfinished ideas - 1
2 lost motivations - 1
And one sense of jollity


ETA It apparently hasn't occurred to me that I can write some of the last days when deserted by my boys. OH no, that would be too simple. I always expect to have the whole lot done by Christmas Day...

I start off hoping around, but I usually settle down to working through at least the first few days in order, because then I feel like it gives me more time ^^

I always want to get them done by Christmas Day, but it never happens!

Ah, it doesn't always happen for me either, but I always think it SHOULD!

I find Day 1 nearly impossible to write, I think because it's the only thing posted that day so I want it to be reasonably good. I don't mind posting shit on other days as long as there's one okay fic in the entire day. But it makes the first one really hard. (Plus this year, JOLLITY? I DON'T DO JOLLY FICCAGE, DAMMIT!)

[tallulahgs]

It totally should. WE SHOULD BE ORGANISED ;)

I do find it harder to be satisfied with Day 1. My fics for that day always feel random and, like, "this isn't really representative of me, dammit!"

XD A moment of jollity amid unrelenting misery/death/bittersweet realisation that everything's a little bit sad/post-apocalyptic wastelands? My jolly fic isn't particularly jolly, I have to say...
