Stop, no really, just stop.

I vowed and promised that I would not, would not, get caught up in any more communities. I can't keep up with them now as it is.

So why the hell did I just post a submission for fandomweekly?

Long fics get to be a major headache, which is why I try to avoid writing them.

Both fandomweekly and slashthedrabble are for short pieces though, not such a huge commitment and you can always skip weeks you don't like. i'm gradually learning to do that... I've skipped one from each =)

Just a lack of discipline on my part, really. I was doing well when I had a schedule for it of doing one chapter a week so I ensured that I didn't write 30% and then abandon it, wasting all that work. Now that it's 90-95% my brain just goes, I'll work on it after I've just done this, or that.
Most times I can wrap things up quickly because it's just a SPAG check, but this one is a proper rework of the first draft. Because of my frantic schedule, I basically just got the key points down on the page, lots of info dumping that needs to be worked into more active language and speech. The second draft just requires a lot more love, really, which means proper time sat down where it's the only thing I'm concentrating on.

Sounds like a lot of work, but I know you can do it. Just set aside one day's writing time a week when you concentrate solely on that fic and you'll get there.
