Where's Pam Been?
Jun. 1st, 2012 02:35 pmSo where, you might ask, has Pam been? Um, mostly, here and home, just busy breaking every resolution I've made for the year. Except I have been subbing. I kinda-sorta joined the Write 1 Sub 1 Challenge, except I'm pretty much doing it just privately. But I have been flashing (writing a story in a timed 90 minute themed challenge) every week at Liberty Hall and subbing a story a week. The bad thing is that I haven't been doing any other writing besides that one day a week. I keep meaning to. But I don't. No excuses, I just don't.
2012 was going to be the year of the novel for me. I signed up for the Codex novel challenge. Except I've let the April starting date slide right past with nary a grab. Just can't work up the gumption. Probably what I'll end up doing is panicking when it starts getting closer to closing time and try to do it all in a month. I guess I work better with a deadline, too, and it has to be close enough that I can't procrastinate about it.
I did work yesterday, though, because I do have a deadline coming up: Polish Challenge at Liberty Hall. So I trotted out a few of my older flashes that I always meant to finish and never got around to. One is spiffed up and I've got 2 more to do. Since they're short, I plan to enter 2 of them, and they'll still be less than 4k, so that seems fair. Can't decide which of the others ones to put up though. Probably the one I finish first. The other one will have to wait or go somewhere else -- maybe Codex, I keep meaning to put one up for critting there, but the truth is, I'm kind of scared to. There, now since I admitted it, I can put on my big girl pants and do it.
I really *do* mean to post more often. But, you know. I just don't. Because I'm a procrastinator and there's always tomorrow to do it in -- until Dec. 21, that is. ;-D
