2017 BB

[roxy]

Does anyone want to talk to me about this year's BB? Are you doing it? Do you have an idea what you want to do? Anyone wanna help Yer Mother decide? I was nearly certain I wouldn't try this year considering my lack of writing last year, but...it's hard not to think about! And last year I was so lucky! It could happen again! Oy.

I believe in signing up because it keeps your options open and after all it's only 20 K.

Personally I'm not signing up because of the concussion the stress I put myself under to do the SPN Christmas gift just about killed me so I'm all about the stress free writing right now. I'll keep writing but I don't want to have any arbitrary deadlines no matter how distant in the future they are but that's just me.

For you, your brain is working perfectly and if you feel inspiration strike and want to do it go for it! Sign up now and like I said keep your options open. You are a terrific writer and it's always wonderful to see one of your new adventures get posted!!! ❤

I know it's intimidating, but there's plenty of time for either inspiration to strike or for you to drop out if you have to. But you know you want to. Who knows how many more years we'll really have the show to keep the fandom active enough to keep this challenge going?

Omgods, I'm thinking about it. I dunno if i have a story that big re J2 though. I just don't know.
*flails about*

Bb, just go for it. Might as well give it some thought, eh?
You can do it!

I signed up last year completely unsure if I could write the story I wanted to by draft deadline--or finish it by posting date. I missed a lot of stuff last spring while I worked on it. I had my head down every spare minute, slogging through the fic. I wrote 12K of a first draft, and by the week before draft deadline, I knew I could push through and write 20K--but another few weeks wouldn't be enough to write the story I want to tell. So I downed tools and gave myself permission to withdraw from the challenge.

I left it lie fallow for a while, and didn't think about it until it started tapping on the back of my brain. So I wrestled with editing the 12K I have, or dropping back, rethinking my presentation, and starting over.

I decided it was going to take longer and be more frustrating trying to salvage what I'd written, and I've poked and played with a simplified timeline--there was a lot of extraneous stuff in there that couldn't be--didn't need to be salvaged.

So I thought I'd be ready to go on signup day, and you know what? I hate to let it go by, because, what if I do get it finished? If I'm not signed up I can't post it to the challenge, and I hate to feel like I "failed" twice.

But in all honesty this story is a beast and it's kicking my ass, and I'd rather take the time it takes and do it right than try to rush it to make deadline.

So if you have a story idea that you want to tell, go for it. Sign up. Write the heck out of your idea, and if you have to drop back and punt you can do that, but if you get into that groove, I'll sit here and envy you and cheer you on. Go for it!

A world without Roxy in the BB is no world for me!!!!

Was that dramatic enough to get my point across?

You know I'll help any way I can. Send me thoughts and ideas.
