For me, writing is very much a process. I have to be inside the head of the person I'm writing, and that can take a bit of concentration. Aside from having three fics going at once (UC, CBWR? and UC Outtake), the other stuff going on has taken its toll on me personally as well. It has made the process of writing very difficult for me, and I've definitely slowed down. Also, the other stuff is taking up my valuable writing time. I'm spending way too much time responding to PMs, various CBWR threads and emails, which I'm going to stop doing for a while. I do want to keep you all updated, though.
1. Unexpected Circumstances, Chapter 20. It's maybe half way done. It's also very long, so hopefully it will be worth it when it comes out. I'm currently targeting this Friday, assuming I can post again by then. I'm not going to create a blog for it, or post any of it here. UC in general is going to have to move to every-other-week until I can everything back in order. Please be patient! :)
2. CBWR? - I'm going to try to add a chapter a day, when I can. I won't promise to do so every day, though. Thanks to Vicki who had the chapter end notes for the rest of the chapters posted!
3. Blog updates - I know the email subscription thing isn't working on the Could Be Worse, Right? blog. I'll try to fix it, but I have no idea what I'm doing. LOL Let me know if you see any other problems.
Thanks all!
*pouts* Ok, just because I love you so much and I get that you are swamped but I'm going to miss the weekly UC updates.
ReplyDeleteAll kidding aside, I really hope FFn gets its head out of its ass because they continuously screwing things up :/
Seriously, this is an amazing schedule. Way better than 90% of the stories I am reading.
ReplyDeleteNo worries dear...
ReplyDeleteDon't burn yourself out!
Oh, glad to hear your car is a-ok. What a crappy couple days you've had!! Ugh... Have a couple glasses of wine...catch up on your rest...and don't worry. We will still be here!
hey, I just wanted to come over here and let you know that I was the one that started the fire over on ADF about CBWR? missing. I was thrilled when you posted on my thread...it completely made my day! :) (even though the content that made you respond wasn't all that great) just know (and I'm sure you do, but still :) there are a lot of us on the CBWR? band wagon and eagerly look forward to the each chapter. Your response on the thread was extremely well thought out and made your point clearly.
ReplyDeleteI have some chapters to catch up on, but am very happy to see it up on its own blog. Keep up the great work sweets, and know that many love your writing :]
take your time. we know you are going trough a streak of bad luck right now.
ReplyDeleteand if you can't update CBWR daily, then that is fine.
i know many will agree, when i say that we (fans of your work)love your stories, but also we got to care for you as a person as well.
over the months we learned about your life outside the fandom, how awesome you seemed to be as a mom, as a driver instructor, as a chaperon.
we know you hate the airline service and that you are not too fond of the cold weather...we also know you love to write, and trust me, no one wants that to change...so, take your time.
we know where to find you now.
we will be here waiting. :)

Totally hear you on that. I get so frustrated when people rush me to post the next chapter. I feel like saying, "People, calm down. I need time to think. I don't just fart and suddenly POOF!- there's your chapter..." It takes time, especially if you are working on more than one story.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, don't worry too much. We all love your stories and I for one would wait a month or two for the next chapter without complaint.
Don't you find it funny though that you started CBWR as a fun and de-stressing project, and yet here comes all the drama from it. Oy.
Til next time... *hugs* :)

Hi, no sweat, take the time you need with UC (not that I'm not waiting impatiently :) You're doing an incredible job updating two fics, all the other b***shit notwithstanding.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteI wait for your updates until the end of the world...I love your stories and good things always worth waiting for.
No worries, bb.
ReplyDeleteWe [the readers] aren't going any where. We'll be here waiting no matter if you get next ch out tomorrow or the next day or the next....

instead of trying to post CBWR? everyday make it once a week that should lighten up the load since UC has soo much more people hooked?
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to make excuses everyday if you are busy, get things out when they are ready. If that sounds harsh its not meant to be...it just gets repetitive when I see that everyday or every other day you tell us all the reasons why you can't post. Do what you can and don't feel like you have to explain yourself they are your stories.
ReplyDeletePost whenever, we live for every electron!

Just wanted to let you know that the Email subscription CBWR? worked just fine :-)
