And *breathe*
Feb. 17th, 2010 09:02 pmOkay.
First of all, I’m sorry I haven’t been responding to comments as much lately. I’ve been feeling overwhelmed with trying to get all the writing I want to do, as well as the daily job things I have to do, done. I keep thinking that I need to answer all the comments at once, and I do start out with that intention, but then I don’t have time and start worrying about what will happen if I stay up late to make more time (I am a terrible person when I have not had at least seven hours of sleep), and I don’t finish.
I do want to say: Thank you so much for the appreciation. It makes my day to know that people enjoy these stories.
I’m going to cut back on some of the insane things I was trying to do*. After all, unless it’s a fic I promised to write for a definite deadline, I’m not on a mandated schedule for posting stories, and I don’t have to feel bad about taking a day off now and then or writing less than a “perfect” amount of words each day. 5000 words a day, 4000 on the main fic and 1000 on Sympathy for the Predators, seems to be my comfort limit. That’s still 35,000 words a week, which is damn plenty.
And now: long-overdue thanks to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
red_rahl, inviticus1, and sthelen for the virtual gifts. They brightened my day.
Thanks as well toduchessa. I’m so glad that you liked Starfire Nights! That’s the one-shot I’ve most enjoyed writing in several months. Playing in the Changing of the Guard universe again was a wonderful vacation.

*Like writing a fest fic at the same time as everything else. Fuck, the damn thing is not due for two months, I have 8000 words already, and I work best under deadline pressure anyway. What was I thinking?
