I’ve always been able to hyperfocus on writing. It’s how I get so much done in such a short amount of time. But I lost that when I took such a long break, and I was afraid it wouldn’t come back.
Well. It did.
I wrote over 2K across three different projects today. (Three different projects might not seem like I’m focused, but I’m trying to balance what I want to finish.) And I posted the first chapter of a new story!
Totals first, then excerpts under the cut.
I logged a whopping 94 words on the next chapter of A Wish Your Heart Makes. But that’s because I deleted a bunch from chapter 1.
I finally got started on Forever Timeless, with 549 words. And I figured out the timeline of FANA and this story, which is important. Especially juggling two timelines--TARDIS time and Earth Time.
AND.
I wrote 852 words of Always Her Doctor!!! I am so happy to be working on this story again, and I’m thrilled with how the chapter is shaping up.
Without further ado, the excerpts.
Forever Timeless:
The Doctor rubbed a hand over his face. “I need to create a setting on the sonic for Allen wrenches. Those belong on a list of forbidden torture devices.”
Jackie’s snort interrupted Rose’s teasing response. “And here I thought you were some kind of superior alien,” she said as she entered the room, carrying two tall glasses of water. “How the mighty have fallen—defeated by an Ikea flat pack.”
Rose could sense the Doctor weighing the merits of defending himself against the likelihood that Jackie would dump the glass of water over his head. In the end, he only rolled his eyes and said, “Thankfully, the fate of the universe has never rested on my ability to put together furniture with vaguely Swedish names.”
A Wish Your Heart Makes:
Rose’s heart skipped a beat. This was what she’d hoped for, but she tried to keep her expectations low. A week had passed since she’d finally had the courage to talk to the Doctor about their relationship. Despite the mutual agreement that they were far more than friends, and that they wanted to develop that more, he still hadn’t kissed her.
She suspected the Doctor was waiting for the Perfect Moment. Meanwhile, she had to remind herself several times a day that she couldn’t just grab his tie and yank his lips down to meet hers.
Always Her Doctor:
The library was rather inconveniently located on the opposite side of the building from his room. At least with class in session, the hallways were empty enough that John felt free to move at a brisk jog, instead of a more sedate, professorial pace.
He was halfway there, mind filled with the imagined smile Marion would greet him with, when a sly voice stopped him.
“Where are you racing off to in such a hurry, Mr. Smith?”
John slowed and looked over his shoulder at the tall senior boy loitering in the hallway. “Why aren’t you in class, Baines?” he asked, rather than answer the question.
Another very good day! I do need to be a little bit better about not getting distracted in between writing sessions. I could have gotten another hour in today if I’d stayed on track.
Still, I wrote over 2600 words and finished chapter 4 of Always Her Doctor, so I’m not too upset! That will definitely be updated before the end of the week.
I didn’t work on Forever Timeless at all, so I’ll have to focus on that tomorrow. It will also probably be my main project on Saturday, which should make up for neglecting it a bit during the week.
Excerpts under the cut!
Always Her Doctor:
Rose tilted her head and pursed her lips. “There’s one question I haven’t asked, John. Do you actually know how to dance?”
A wicked gleam lit his eyes, then John leaned forward to whisper in her ear. “Well, I’ve got the moves, but I wouldn’t want to boast.”
Then he straightened up and winked at her, before spinning around and walking out of the room—leaving a very flustered Rose Tyler in his wake.
A Wish Your Heart Makes:
The lights on the drill platform were bright and glaring in her eyes, but Rose didn’t care—and she didn’t care about the rest of the crew studiously pretending they hadn’t seen their passionate goodbye, either.
The Doctor reached up and cupped her face, and the thick glove of his environment suit felt coarse against her skin. “Be careful,” he said, his voice low and urgent.
Rose rolled her eyes. “You’re telling me to be careful? You’re the one going ten miles down to the centre of the planet, with nothing but that suit to keep you safe.”
I’m currently debating on writing a book. If I do this, I probably won’t be online much, as all my free time is going to be devoted to that. My open stories will be going on long(er)term hiatus (as if they aren’t already lol) and probably won’t be updated until both original book and my fanfics are finished. I know not everybody here reads my stories, but for those of you who do and enjoy reading them, I apologize in advance. If you don’t see much from me here then that means I’ve decided to do this.
Writing is very important to me, and I know it’s something I would like to do for the rest of my life so the time I spend writing is time that should be spent developing my skills (not that fanfiction doesn’t help buried need to work on developing characters) I love you all and thank you for your continued patience.
so i've been pretty busy with work and moving also there's so much writers' blockkkkkkkkkkk ;__; when i do have free time I've been writing fluffy little things that i haven't published anywhere and I actually did start writing that thing about dean being trapped in his head as a child. I think my problem is that i've been writing so much smut and angst that I just need a break from it XD
Yeah, I know what you mean! I've been slacking off my artwork that I've been wanting to do or promise!
And its good to change to fluff. That's why I think it be adorable on the sunflowers bouquet :D! I think its my headcanon that sunflowers are Mary's favorite to where it also Dean's favorite too :3!
But I would love to read your fluff! Do you think you can post them up, please :D?!
