Remix, oh noes!

[such_heights]

Right, time to get cracking on Remix. I'm pretty sure I've chosen my story, and I have a concept for what I want to do (I know, about time), but I'm still really nervous! Anyone else that's involved, how are you getting on? *dithers*

On an exchange note, I feel somewhat alone on my flist in signing up for hp_summergen. Go on, you know you want to, sign-ups close on on April 3rd.

eta: Oh, I forgot, that fic commentary thing is flying around again, do feel to request if you're interested - masterlist here. I somehow doubt my stories really lend themselves to other people being interested in an in-depth analysis thereof, however, but you never know!

I haven't even started :/

[such_heights]

Eep! Why do we inflict ourselves with these things?

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

I don't know why! Except that I love the concept so much I couldn't resist... M.

[such_heights]

*sigh* So shiny yet ultimately deceptive.

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

I know, I know. *sigh* I'm aware that nothing freaks me out more than a deadline, but...the chance to play with other folks' stories? Too good to resist! M.

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Me, neither! *raises fist in sign of procrastinatory solidarity* M.

[sazzlette.livejournal.com]

I ... don't even know where to begin. I have absolutely no clue even what story I want to choose. Gah.

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

My strategy in life is to wait until the eleventh hour, pick something in a fit of anxiety, under pressure, and run with it. *sigh* I'm clearly not the person to talk to! M.

[sazzlette.livejournal.com]

Argh I ALWAYS do that, but it seems to comes off less and less often >.> Maybe my standards are just higher :/

Anyway. Yeah I know I'll end up doing that but I reeaalllly don't want to because my exams are coming up fast. *sigh*

Oh, I need to remix, too, especially since my RL schedule between now and the deadline is quite hectic. But the weather today is so nice - I don't want to sit at the computer and dither over every word!

Anyway, I picked my story and my remix angle right away and I've probably got about 200-300 words already, but I need the big "get done" push to come soon. Aargh.

I can't sign up for any exchanges, I've decided. I have a big 'to write' list and if I'm a high school or middle school teacher next year, a lot of my writing will have to stop, probably, so I want the summer clear for work on those projects.

[such_heights]

Damn you and your nice weather, it's terrible here. Anti-procrastinatory , though.

Ah, I'm in that quite nice 'ooh, idea!' place at the moment, but that'll dissipate soon I fear. Nngh.

Yeah, I really should stop being a lazy so-and-so and make myself deal with the half-baked ideas on my to-write list, but I just keep filling out those forms instead.

=D I really like the idea of you impressing the joys of Latin on schoolkids (I've nearly left, I can totally call them that) - where are you at with all of jobhunting at the moment?

[melandry.livejournal.com]

Well, it's supposed to snow overnight and tomorrow, so it's not quite spring here yet.

Should probably update the whole f-list on job stuff, so I'll try to post later today.

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

(Sorry to eavesdrop!) Ah, see, I can't seem to commit to a story. I think this is a very psychologically complex way of procrastinating. You sound like you have the sophomore slump--you've made the initial decisions but lost the glow of a new project.

Like A, I'm curious to hear about your job hunt... M.

[melandry.livejournal.com]

Hm, perhaps I am a perpetual sophomore in life - ideas, but no drive to finish them.

Look for a job post later today or tonight.

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Look for a job post later today or tonight. Good!

Love the icon, by the way. M.

[glass-icarus.livejournal.com]

sighhh. i'm in the exact same place you are, and it's definitely not the story, either. i love it to smishy little pieces, but... yeah. i'm so scared i won't do the original justice.

[such_heights]

It's terrifying, isn't it? *wibbles*

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Oh, Remix. I should, um, read my author's fics. Er.

[such_heights]

Heh, could be a plan!
