Hopefully, My New Ficcing Formula Won't Go Over Like New Coke

It was cold and rainy with sleet flurries today, and so aside from a short trip to McDonald's for McNuggets, I've cloistered myself in the sunroom and written fic while the heater rumbled companionably beneath the floor and warmed my feet. If the weather holds tomorrow, I'm going to the grocery store for dessert and a few sundries before Superbowl partiers descend upon the aisles like a Viking horde.

I've written a thousand words of Richard Kruspe RPF today. In fact, I've designated February Richard Kruspe RPF Month and intend to concentrate on it all month. Part of my problem when it comes to fannish creativity of late is an excess of ideas and an inability to focus on any one of them. If sharpening the focus by designating months as the Month of Fandom X works, then March will be Supernatural Month, because "Detail Man" should've been finished two years ago, and it's too good a story to languish in Unfinished Limbo.

So far, the new system seems to be working. I no longer sit in front of the computer for hours, agonizing over what I should write. Now, I know what I'm doing before I pull up to the table, and though I'm still distracted by various Internet shinies like Hammy by a cookie, I can return to the task I've set for myself because I know what it is. I've written three thousand words in three days and am proud of every one of them.

We'll see if I can keep it up.
