agilebrit: (Guri praying)
Is out the door to the UFO anthology. And it's a good thing I re-read the guidelines.

Oh, God, wish me luck. I love this story to itty-bitty pieces.

EDIT: And I sent CatFeet to Fearful Symmetries, because why wait.

That's everything but not!Iron Man on sub. Still need a blurb for that.

HUZZAH.

I like this system. Having the outline allowed me to flow from one scene to the next in a logical and consistent manner, and I drafted it in four days rather than the month that something like this would've taken me in the past when I was pantsing.

Of course, it came in 6% over the wordcount limit (6400 words on a 6000-word limit), but I can fix that in post. It also needs a better ending line, which I can also fix in post. And, of course, a title, which will come to me eventually.

I hope.

But. For now. It's done. I am well pleased.
agilebrit: (Write Dammit)
At Amazon. My Writing Buddy told me about this a few weeks ago, but I balked at the $40 pricetag for something I wasn't sure I'd use. However, I've heard good things about it and know people who swear by it, so I dropped $20 on it today and will use it to write my Next Thing (whatever that is--I'm thinking the story for the Fearful Symmetries antho).

In other news, I've nearly cracked 3500 words in the Unicorn Time Travel story and am right at the midpoint. I'm going to madly scribble today and tomorrow while Boy is at rocket camp, and hopefully have an END at the bottom by the time I meet with my Writing Buddy on Sunday.

I just hope I can keep this thing crammed within 6000 words. At this point, I'm not sure. There's still a lot of Plot that needs to happen.

And, in the meantime, I still need six more outlines and one more story by the end of May.
