10 for 10, fics for days, that is.

10 Fics For 10 Days

So the things is lately (the past two years) I've been feeling spectacularly unproductive as far as fic writing goes. There's been reasons for it. Last year was crazy busy and blah blah blah. But this is something that's been going on longer than that, I think. Probably since I finished up with th fanfic100 hing I was doing for NCIS. 

While I was working on that there was some pressure to finish that before, you know, I died, and the inspiration and motivation was kind of built in. Then I went pretty much straight from that to Otalia. Not that Otalia isn't still awesome but as I've said here before I think I've said almost everything I want/need to say about that for the moment. So writing-ly speaking (wow, awesome phrasing, dude) I'm kind of at lose ends for the moment. There are fandoms I'm in to, things I want to squee about, but nothing that's really, really pushing me to write. Mainly I think I've been sitting around waiting for something to just deliver itself to my brain and be awesome, divine inspiration if you will, minus the sanctity but with the implication of miraculously appearing wholly formed in my head. 

Which is basically bullshit if you think about it. Nothing just appears in your head unless you're a seriously lucky bastard. Sometimes you just have to write. And write. And then write some more. Then you have to realize that it doesn't matter if it's all crap because the experience is the thing and it's all about practice, practice, practice. 

Most of you, I'm sure already know this. Mainly I'm repeating all this crap for my own benefit. Don't mind me. Which is to say that I'm going to be subjecting y'all to hopefully 1 fic a day for the next 10 days. 10 days because it's a nice solid, arbitrary number that didn't seem too daunting, with a word count goal of about 1,667 words per story. Why that? Well some of y'all might recognize that number as the word count you need to hit per day to make the NaNoWriMo goal and you'd be right, but also because it's a nice size number that isn't too small but I shouldn't have a problem hitting in an hour or two. So there.
