What a fucking week. Doctor visits, houseguests, they unexpectedly tore up my ENTIRE fucking street so coming and going from my house has been a nightmare, the fucking raccoon that's been terrorizing my back yard has learned to open the locking trash can lid so this morning i went out to garbage scattered all over the place. I am exhausted. By the back door we keep a small table with a basket on top where all the warm hand-knitted outdoor winter weather things live during the cold season, and the sofa is right next to it. Tonight my mother-in-law knocked an entire glass of chocolate milk off the arm of the sofa and directly into the basket. I am livid. I could cry. I can't even be properly mad at her because it was an accident and she feels bad enough about it already. Soaked everything in cold water and tomorrow I get to see if the stains come out because it's late and I'm so tired and I should do it tonight but I just cannot handle it. Basically just killing time right now until my phone charges and then heading straight to bed.

New words this week : 4167 words which is pretty fucking miraculous, all things considered.

WIPs worked on this week : 3, with no new WIPs (yay!)

The Old Guard

food truck au : 3911 words which brings the total to 38,125 words and pretty excited that my focus is staying on this one. Chapter four is nearly finished, and a lot of words went towards the ending, which I'm getting more of a feel for? Still struggling a bit with what's going on in the later parts of it, but I'm trying not to worry overly much until I actually get there. The bits I have so far, I like, so that's good.

werewolf au : 133 words which brings the total to 10,931 words and it's just a bit of scene notes/dialogue snippets.

horrorguard : 123 words which brings the total to 720 words and I think I've figured out an ending, which is important.

Project Title: The Library. (Working title: "In Pursuit of Knowledge")
Fandom: OW
Link: Tumblr, AO3. The story written by my collab author for WIPRB is here, please give it a read! :)
Summary: A rat adventurer is on a dangerous quest for the most priceless thing in the world...
Warnings: None
Characters: Rat Adventurer, Raven Guardian
Pairings: None
When I Started: 2017
How I Lost My Shit: It was a quick digital doodle for a 2017 round of SketchFest (no longer running) and I slapped some colour onto it in 2022. I had gotten worn out with super-detailed rendered fantasy artworks and was drawing a lot of sketches that were kind of on the rough side and trying to integrate them directly into the rendered art without completely redrawing the sketch. It was a nice process that worked much better for my own particular creative stumbling blocks with art. But I drifted away because I was super deep into fanart for a specific fandom at the time and that sucked up all my attention so I have a bunch of unfinished fantasy WIP sketches from that era.
How I Finished My Shit: I slapped more colour onto it!!! Works every time. :P I still had the inking on a separate layer so I did more painting both under and over it to polish it up a bit.

Project Title: Anonymous(title)
Fandom: Final Fantasy XIII series

When I Started: January 2015
How I Lost My Shit: The story just kept getting longer and longer and I couldn't deal, and I grew discouraged until I finally left the fandom. After that, I went through countless other fandoms but always wanted to come back and finished but couldn't muster the love again. 
How I Finished My Shit: Tears and grit. Seriously would not have finished if not for WIPBB as I spent the summer desperately trying to remember things about this canon. But more than 10 years later... this story is finished!

This week has been a little easier, so that's a nice break between the nonsense. I have some medical stuff to take care of this week which I am very anxious about, Mr FTS has some pretty intense work stuff coming up, and then my brother and MIL will be visiting one after the other. So I honestly don't know how writing time is going to go for the rest of the month. There are at least a few days where I should have a little more time than I usually get, since I'll have a few evenings to myself, but overall I'm anticipating having less. Definitely not going to get anything finished and posted this month, alas. Even if I could potentially rush to finish something small, my focus has actually been pretty tightly centered on food truck au so I'm loath to derail that while I'm making such good progress on it.

New words this week : 6712 words which is right on target, AGAIN. Every week when I see my total land right around 6-7k I am filled with joy. I still can't believe how consistent I'm managing to be!!

WIPs worked on this week : 3, with no new WIPs (yay!)

The Old Guard

food truck au : 5789 words which brings the total to 34,214 words and I've had to accept a couple of different truths about this one. A) I am absolutely definitely going to blow past my last estimate of 35k, and probably also my newer estimate of 40k. At this point I'm still hopeful about keeping it under 50k but at this rate who the fuck knows. This is due in large part to, B) it's going to be way way smuttier than I anticipated. Third chapter is off to beta and it cranked the UST way up, so that's going to take some words to resolve later in the fic. Anyhow, fourth chapter is coming together quicker than I anticipated so that's nice.

werewolf au : 326 words which brings the total to 10,841 words and it was just throwing down some notes about a little scene fragment so I wouldn't forget it. I've officially back-burnered this one, yay. We'll see if that holds next week.

horrorguard : 597 words which brings the total to 597 words and I'm excited about it. I signed up for a very low-key horror fest and my card was tremendously inspiring. I have SO many ideas but have narrowed it down to two. Thinking it over some more and just throwing down notes to figure out which one I want to do. Both ideas are short-ish (though one is moreso than the other) and I have until mid-February to submit, so plenty of time.

Project Title: A Haunted House with a Picket Fence
Fandom: Neighbours (tv)
Link: HERE
Summary: Paul's first Christmas alone with the triplets in a universe where Gail doesn't survive their birth and reflects on the six months of suffering that have led him to this point.
Warnings: Major character death, maternal death/death in childbirth, absolutely miserable and depressed mc, many references made to a canonical suicide from the show. 
Characters: Paul Robinson, Gail Lewis, Des Clarke, Jim Robinson, Helen Daniels.
Pairings: Paul Robinson/Gail Lewis, Paul Robinson/Terry Inglis 
When I Started: 12:54 PM on March 24, 2022 according to the timestamps on my doc.

How I Lost My Shit: Honestly I kind of just stopped feeling so miserable as I was when I started this. I graduated Tafe, I found my passion in life, kind of a lot of things changed for me and this fic as much as I thought the concept was decent just fell away from me. The original plan I had for this fic was so grim I ended up changing it entirely for this version because I couldn't stomach leaving Paul in such a dark place after this story. 

How I Finished My Shit: I totally flipped everything. The whole fic got a rewrite, the ending was changed, I dropped some secondary plots I wasn't feeling and I listened to my muse about what it wanted this fic to look like. Then I FINISHED MY SHIT! Thank you sooo much to Ragna for the cover and chapter dividers!

Project Title: The Proposal(s) Predicament
Fandom: Star Wars: Thrawn Series
Summary:
Within the space of a week, Commander Eli Vanto receives three different marriage proposals.
 
One is from Lance Reisen, an admiral assigned to a backwater sector who's looking to make a name for himself. Unfortunately, he seems to be labouring under the misapprehension that Eli is the tactical genius on board the Chimaera, not Thrawn.
 
The second is from Jar Ontec, the admiral who might just have pulled strings to get Reisen exiled to such an unfavorable posting in the first place.
 
The third is from Captain Kos Teersel, who, as far as Eli can tell, just wants his help catching a gang of pirates.
 
As Eli navigates the deadly cut-and-thrust of Imperial politics, tries to turn down marriage offers from three men who outrank him without tanking his career, and works to uncover the identity of whoever is really pulling the strings from the shadows, only one question is left unanswered.
 
Does his soulmark, written in an unknown script, say Thrawn's name?
 
Warnings: None
Characters: Eli Vanto, Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo, Karyn Faro, Chimaera Crew Members, Original Characters
Pairings: Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo/Eli Vanto
 
When I Started: Honestly, I don't 100% remember!! I know it must have been at least two or three years ago.
How I Lost My Shit: Wandered out of the fandom and lost interest in the characters for a little while.
How I Finished My Shit: Right at the time I was getting into another 'Star Wars phase' (my love for fandoms definitely comes in phases xD) I heard about WIP Big Bang. I have so many Thranto WIPs on the backburner, I signed several of them up. I made significant progress on many of them, although this ended up the only one that actually got finished! I, too, must worship at the altar of firm deadlines ;)
