Holmestice and writing

[blue_eyed_1987]

holmestice signups are open again! :D



I adore Holmestice, I always have, but I'm having a lot of anxiety about writing right now. I've had to give up on my teen wolf exchange fic (I've asked to basically be a pinch-hitter, so am waiting for the mod to get back to me), and while I know what I want to write about for my uni_merlin, getting the words down is hard.

I also have a couple of other things I want to write (my danny/stiles teen wolf fic, a touch starved!bruce/clint avengers fic, and my 5644133 wips that are languishing in my folder). These are more tempting than the things I have deadlines for. The less said about kink_bingo the better.

This will be the last Holmestice, unless some people step forward to take over. I'm tempted, but I'm also aware that I get anxious enough trying to do anything with merlingwainebar. But I'm wondering if I'll do better with a well organised comm that is popular and just taking over the reigns?

I have no idea what to do, to be honest. I am tempted just to leave it and actually finish some of the ideas I've got, but volunteering to help out is more tempting.

Another thing that I'm aware of is I seem to have issues writing without some hand-holding? Like, I'll get about 1k in then I'll freak out and convince myself it could be better and then re-write those 1k until I either sign up for something or just give up. I have no idea if that's normal or if I'm really needy? I'm going to try and get through the next couple of fics and not ask for help until I need it betad, and see how that goes. Maybe I'll get the confidence I need to able to actually finish things that don't have a looming deadline *crosses fingers*


In other news I made 12 mini vanilla cheesecakes, 12 mini chocolate cheesecakes, a dozen chocolate truffles today, and I'm doing a full roast *collapses*

And I'm back in work tomorrow *weeps*

ME TOO. I've been showing things to other people constantly nowadays; it's been keeping me going. So no, definitely not just you.

I can do some cheerleading if you ever need it! Like, read some words and say, "YES GOOD WRITE MORE!!" B/c I definitely need that myself. I'm on g-chat a lot of the time, too. ;)

So glad it's not just me!

I will get around to reading your TW fic again tomorrow, promise!

Once I've done my uni_merlin fic (I have a beta for that), I might ask you to read over my danny/stiles fic, if that's ok?

I have gchat but I am pretty bad with IM? I have added you - thanks! But I tend to get distracted/wander away from the laptop. Just a fair warning!

Oh, you don't need to read it again super soon! I'm just trying to get all the pieces together so that the plot is mostly there. I'm hoping to write another 2K today! *fingerscrossed*

Yes yes yes; I will read your Danny/Stiles. YEssssss. :)
