Writerly thingies.

For starters, I need to get people's dreamwidths!  Since it seems a lot of people have moved over there, and I'll need to start being more active there, too.  Throw 'em in the comments!

So I was going through and organizing my flash drive into folders, and I found the first page and a half of a John/Delenn story I started so long ago I don't even remember writing it!  I'm going to dust that off and try to finish it for B5 love month.  And I have like 70% of the next chapter of Metamorphoses done, and it's been at 70% for literal months, so my goal is to sit down and rewatch the relevant episode this weekend and finally frakking finish that.  (Feel free to yell at me for encouragement/shame.)  And I had a comment on Alma Mater over on FFN asking if I was ever going to finish that, so yeah.  Will try to get to that, too.

(It sucks, because I'm no longer allowed to write at work when I'm on the desk, which is where I had been getting so much writing done.  Sigh.)

And in other writings, I'm trying to restart working on both of my partially-completed novels, on which I've only written the most sporadic dribs and drabs for like more than six months now.  I really need to, like, schedule myself a dedicated writing time at least once a week.  Ostensibly I do already have one scheduled, as my local writer's group has been meeting every Friday evening for a couple months now to write, but we do a lot of chatting.  :(

I miss living close enough to Starbucks to just drive there in like three minutes, and I miss my Starbucks rewards that made it financially feasible to actually purchase Starbucks.  The only place that's really close enough to my new house to go to is a Wendy's, and like...yeah.  Wendy's, man.  You're probably all saying, just write at home!  Hahaha.  Oh, ahahahahahaha!  Seriously, that's hilarious.

Dreamwidth! I am in love with it and thus approve of you thinking about switching. That said, I believe we're already friends over there (I'm [personal profile] congo). :D

Yaaaaaaay for B5 fic! I haven't figured out what I'm going to do for my love month entry. :|||| any plot bunnies you want to give up for adoption, by any chance? Prompts? Anything? Also, you and I should have word wars or something. I haven't written anything in ages because I have no one to write WITH. sigh.

I've never really understood people who go to coffee shops to write. :| but I have faith in you! Just turn off the Internet and phone etc and GET WRITING!

Hehehe my username on DW is also dref22. :P I'm using it as a mirror LJ! :D

I have the same name at DW, but I never use it really. It's my backup and even as that I don't use it much, I think the last time I imported stuff from LJ is quite a while agoXD

I can imagine how it's a whole different thing to write at Starbucks then at home. I mean only thing I write for the next weeks is my BA and I assume I will get more stuff done when I have to sit in the libraryfor he writing cause I can't take the books I need home with meXD

I'm on DW under the same name. I crosspost, so you can read/comment either place.

My DW ID is the same as my LJ ID!

Really wonderful plans! Will wait impatiently ;)

I'm the same on DW. Cross-posting is so easy now I post there and let them do the LJ posting. Commenting is weird cause I forget which one people use (I read comments on my phone mostly) and you can't get people talking to each other. Not that they do that much. I need to expand my horizons over there myself, start reading more.

Writing at home is about my only choice. But OMG the interruptions!

Yay for more fic! I desperately need to re-watch some S4 episodes for Delenn/Anna but have managed to limp by with checking times and dates in the chronology.

I need to spend some time over there and get to know the place.

Seems like I'm the only person who is not on dreamwidth and also has no real ambition to move there (since I barely keep up here, tbh).

Your writing things all sound very exciting! Good luck and may procrastination stay clear of you! :-)
Forever alway YAY for new John/Delenn though. ♥
