rotedo私の休みは終りました。I'm back from my trip into the mountains of Colorado. A lot happened to me and my sister on that adventure, namely getting stuck in a winter storm that involved asking multiple kind strangers for help. We made it to the cabin in one piece and while it all together induced much stress, I do have to say that I'm quite pleased with all the stories it left us to tell. We marathoned Hannibal as planned, and even though I got hit with the worst bout of altitude sickness I think I've ever had due to some mountain hiking, it was great. Now I just have to resist the strong urge to read and write hannigram fic and go back into the Sam & Dean mindset needed for my current fic.
I was super optimistic about being able to finish before my trip to Europe next week but now I'm not so sure. I have it all generally planned out, but it's at least 50k words to go and I just don't know if that's plausible with work and the holidays dragging me down. Not to mention that I still have to paint a Christmas gift for my mom in the next few days. Every one else in my huge family is just going to have to be satisfied with random junk.
Mostly, I'm writing here to procrastinate having to work on my fic. It's not that I don't want to, it's just a mindset that I have to recover after not writing for the first time in two months. It was certainly a flow I had going on, but now I feel like it's much more difficult to just dive into than it had been before.
Other than that fiasco, I'm really nervously excited for my first trip to Europe soon. I was really hoping to have my fic written in its first draft form before I ended up on that ten hour flight to London, but that's seeming more and more like an optimistic pipe dream. I know all the scenes I need to have, vaguely, but every time I have basic outlines like that I usually end up adding in so much more accidentally and that's how we end up with a fic that's already 100k+ and barely over half way finished.
Here's to hoping I manage to at least get to the three fourths point before the end of next week. I think if I really hustle and don't let myself get distracted I can do it. Though, I'm definitely not going to be bringing my computer to Europe for fear of losing it so I guess I'll have to find some other means of entertainment on the plane ride there. I could start editing as I go but a lot of times that sort of thing ends up discouraging me when the fic ends up not being as cute as I thought it was writing it, haha.
I'll come back to update on where I end up in the next few days. The weekend is still fairly young and due to the holidays I only have to go to work on Monday this coming week. Maybe if I can have one of my really prolific weekends I can blast to where I need to be before Christmas. Then the aftermath can simply be attempting to close it up.
Til next time~
