BB Draft Zero

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.

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)

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!

*takes all the words*

The writing is...going. I'm not having any more plot breakdowns, at this point the problem is just sitting myself down and writing....

*hugs*

You can do it!

Don't make me pull out the pom-poms. I already threatened someone else with my pom-poms. While there is nothing scary about the pom-poms themselves, you don't want to see me with pom-poms. It could be ugly.

But I'll take them out if I have to! :D

not the pom poms!!!!!

*cowers*

I will write words this weekend. I will! *cough cough* I promise!

Excellent!

The pom poms of doom will stay in the drawer for now.

ugh...those pom poms might be necessary after all

*stares blankly at the document*

Are you still blankly staring at the document? Did you manage to shake out of it?

[identity profile] castmeaway.livejournal.com 2012-05-14 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
YES. Ugh. I don't know what's wrong with me... I think I need to just skip this section and come back to it later... but I'm such a linear writer that its really frustrating to me just thinking about it.

I'm a linear writer too -- but my BB didn't cooperate at all. I had to skip scenes, rearrange things, go back to rewrite, put in new things -- it's part of the reason that I hate the damn thing so much at this point (even though one of my betas has emailed me back to say she's halfway through and full of flail).

I suggest you don't quite skip the scene, but put in point-form what needs to be in that section, that way you're not completely skipping, just skimming ahead a bit. Just keep writing!
