BB Draft Zero

[loaded_march]

I am calling it a monstrous, horribly bad Draft Zero, and I feel horrible for my betas and my artist, because they're going to have to read it in this condition, but I am sick, sick, sick of the BB fic right now, and I need a break from it.

The Draft Zero wordcount?  133,654.

I completely ditto this comment, and 133k is a lot of damn words. Lucky us!!

Hi!

And thank you so much!

I think I need a break after everything I write. I call it a post-story funk...

[monicaop.livejournal.com]

wow.... just wow... that's a lot of words... I'm amazed!! hugs!!!

[loaded-march.livejournal.com]

Too many words! *dies*

*jawdrop*

...okay, your betas are saints.

[loaded-march.livejournal.com]

My betas are definitely saints. I need to send them chocolate or something!

[lawgoddess.livejournal.com]

Whoa, good for you! Look forward to reading it.

[loaded-march.livejournal.com]

It just needs a lot of hammering out the kinks first!

[asya-ana.livejournal.com]

That is one big bang! Congrats!

[loaded-march.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

Whoot! Go, LM! :D

[loaded-march.livejournal.com]

I'm going to go crawl back under my rock now.

Also

I love your elephant icon!

[eak-a-mouse.livejournal.com]

Wow! Do you write little ficlets? Am very excited to see the finished product. Congrats on finishing it.

[loaded-march.livejournal.com]

"Ficlets"? What is this creature?

Thanks! :D

Dayum.

Re: The Word Count

[loaded-march.livejournal.com]

prolificity! I like this word!

[resqdog51.livejournal.com]

The Draft Zero wordcount? 133,654.

...oomph.

Ok, I feel better about 87k now.

...a little.

Still. Ooomph!

[loaded-march.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

Maybe your 87K will reach 130K?? :D :D :D

[k-nightfox.livejournal.com]

Out of curiosity (and that's all it is cuz I don't want you to change AT ALL EVER) have you ever written a short story? ;-)

You are sick of your BB, I was just plain sick so work halted on mine for a while. Now I'm back in it and I can't imagine how long it's gonna be when it's done because I am at around 25k and not even 1/3 through! It's already the longest one-shot I've ever written. *shakes head* Maybe you are rubbing off on me? *hopes*

[loaded-march.livejournal.com]

I actually have written an original fiction short story. It was 8,000 words.

Um.

No, I know I have a short horror flash fiction story floating around somewhere. That's 250 words. I think.

25K!!! And, awesome! I am turning everyone into word count monsters!

[quietomega.livejournal.com]

Uhm wow! Congrats on finishing your draft zero! And...thats one hell of a word count

Also, I'm really psyched to read all that. Can't remember how long LM is to date, but I'm sure BB will be comparable in quality, and an absolute joy to read

[loaded-march.livejournal.com]

Thanks :D

All 9 parts of LM amounts to something over 400,000 words total. So far.

[tygermine.livejournal.com]

BB can kill - so i've heard.

how many rewrites are you expecting?

go back to LM while you wait!!!

[loaded-march.livejournal.com]

Oh God, don't mention the "R" word. I refuse to rewrite. Rewrite for me means starting over from scratch, ground-up. I am not rewriting 133K!!

I'm not looking at it for a while, though, so hopefully by the time I do, I'll have heard back from my betas so I only have to do it all at once.

LM!

Take. A. Break.

Put that plot bunny over the fire and inform it that if it doesn't let you rest, your family will be having rabbit stew tonight.

On another note, I'm getting wibbles just looking at that word count. You never fail to impress

[loaded-march.livejournal.com]

It's leaving me alone now that it's all written out...

No wibbling!

[castmeaway.livejournal.com]

Ill take some of your words off your hands if you want...

You are a crazy person...but I might just love you ( in a non sexual non threatening way of course)

[loaded-march.livejournal.com]

Here, have some of my words *shoves a big pile over*

*HUGS*

How's the writing going? I've been thinking about you since we chatted, hoping that it was going better!

[phantmgreeneyes.livejournal.com]

Day-umm. That is impressive. I don't think I could write 133k of ANYTHING, even fictional anythings.
Also? I don't think you are capable of writing anything monstrously horribly bad, darling. It's just not in your DNA. so Draft Zero, while it might be rough, still kicks ass. Fear not.
Your adoring fans wait with baited breath to read it!

[loaded-march.livejournal.com]

Aww

Well, at the very least, I'm not capable of writing anything monstrously horribly SHORT...

*hugs*

[fuckyeah.livejournal.com]

WELP, THERE GOES MY SELF-ESTEEM. *only has a piddly 12k*

How the hell do you manage everything? WHAT IS YOUR SECRET, PLEASE TELL ME.

But seriously, kudos to you, that's awesome! I can't wait to read it! :D

[loaded-march.livejournal.com]

*catches self-esteem and gives it back*

12K is nothing to sneeze at! Plus, you still have a couple of months to write!

There is no secret. Well. The truth is, I have a basement full of monkeys who pound at typewriters in exchange for bananas...

[scotscookie.livejournal.com]

Over 133,000 words *squeaks and falls over*


I don't know what you're smokin' but can I have some???

:D

[loaded-march.livejournal.com]

*picks you up and brushes you off*

You can have some! Except I don't have any... Er. Sorry!

[giraffatrolli.livejournal.com]

Jaw on floor over word-count. No wonder you need a bit of a break. Breaks are a wonderful thing really - I'm a big believer in the brain processing things deep down without you really being conscious of it, making all the difference when you come back to it later.

Here's something nice and soothing while your brain recuperates... http://healingatserenity.com/photo/2011/04/distance-healing-1.jpg

Oo, that's a lovely, relaxing picture! Thank you!
