My new year's resolution is to get a pet.

Fanfic

I've been stuck on my 3x12 plot bunny, so instead I detoured and ended up browsing then consolidating all my notes for The Night Has Come To Hold Us Young.

During this process I posted a new drabble chapter, only to discover moments later that I was supposed to have two more chapters posted before the one I'd just put up. Unfortunately, The Pit wouldn't let me delete my chapter, so I had to replace the text with a lame-ass "I'm sorry, false alarm!" author's note.

I need to write three drabbles in the next couple days, and post four. On top of that, looking at my outline I think I'll have at least 12-15 more before the fic ends. I did some pretty extensive outlining for the latter parts of this fic last year, and I've gotten over one of the difficult sections. Now it's just about writing the stuff in between the exciting stuff. Writing the build-up and the actual business of making two characters fall in love.

We could be looking at 70+ chapters. A daunting thought. I almost wish they were full-on chapters, not just drabbles. Then again, if they'd been full chapters I'd never have gotten as far as 46. It's amazing that this story is still so alive in my head.

EDIT: Does anyone have the song "The Power of Orange Knickers" by Tori Amos? I find myself badly needing it for writing inspiration. I used to have it on my harddrive, but who knows where its gone. If anyone could send it to me, I'd be very grateful. Thank you,
