Self-Challenge: Summer Heat

[lightofdaye]

Hi Guys! Just the other day I was moping about how hard it is to write outside a fest without deadlines or anything. Then I lamented that having a prompt and a deadline introduces a whole other problems vis a vis hurried writing and stress and other such fun things.

On the other hand, I wrote nothing in June. And we have a whole sparkling second-half-of-the-year month ahead of us. So in an attempt to get the best (worst) of both world. I'm going to post some modest writing goals for this month.

This month I shall write and post three fics of any length.

That sounds doable right?

For resources I shall use tamlane's Next Gen Summer Heat thingie as well as hp_humpdrabbles prompts when it comes back from Hiatus.

Summer Heat is an on-going store for Next-Gen prompts and fills. Thanks to Tam, lrthunder and I, its mostly got dirty, smutty, het prompts at the moment but really any rating, genre or type of prompt is okay so long s it features a next gen character. So do take a look!

And let's see how I get on....

Sounds like a reasonable goal. You go and write your three thingies. :D

[lightofdaye]

Thanks! I hope so.

Ha! I love that attitude! Also, July is a 31-day month, so you have at least 30 days to procrastinate. LOL.

Best of luck with the writing! I'll join you in making a goal and shoot for at least 500 words.

Good on you for joining in! :) We can do this! Yay for the power of positive thinking!

Good luck! They say that summer is the season that usually inspires writers to write, so let's do it! I'll join you and Tam and with my own personal goal: I'll try to finish the multi-chaptered story that I'm writing and the FandomAid fic before July 31st! Let's see if I manage!

I cannot wait to see what stories you write! All those prompts are fantastic! x

PS--Also have to apologise, apparently it is boiling hot in the UK, my Sicilian friend is in London and she's complaining about the heat. And here? My sister's car said that there were 44C today..

[lightofdaye]

oh no apology is necessary at all. I always said it was warm for the UK. Cor blimey though, 44 degrees...

Yay for joining in! I hope you make it. And feel free to add to the prompt bank :P

I'm meeeeeeltiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

And feel free to add to the prompt bank :P

You know I'd spam you with the Lugo.. ;) x

[lightofdaye]

hmm. Lucy/Hugo? I hadn't thought of that

Ha-ha. I need that Skype emoji that cocks one eyebrow here.

Good luck with meeting your goal. At the moment I'm stressing about trying to finish my Cross Gen story in the week I have left before I go on vacation, while working and doing the various things I have to do to prepare for the trip. I'm almost finished, but I've never cut a fest fic nearly this close before.

[lightofdaye]

Thanks! Good luck finishing your fic and have a ice holiday :)

We should have some Humps prompts back up on Monday!

Stay cool with that heat -- I'm assuming you don't have AC? It's warm here, but overcast and rainy. Got poured on during our golf game yesterday.

[lightofdaye]

Awesome! Good to hear. :)

No, no AC here at moment. We don't normally need it. Well actualy my office should be getting some in built at some point and there a stand alone device in the corner and a few fans.

Hopefully its supposed to cool off here soon. We've been getting sporadic thundery showers.
