You know it's bad when you'd rather sit still and stare emptily into space than put your fingers back on the keys to finish another sentence of a story.

The other day, though, I did finish the second scene of AAO12. Seven pages now.

dotmoon.net is doing extremely well. After only a week I'm up to 49 members, half of the limit for Gamma Stage. There's already more to catch up on there when I get online than on ASMR. Feel free to join us if you haven't already. The New Stories page for next week is going to be immense. And it contains a new short story by Lord Chaos. :3

It's taking all my willpower not to advertise the site on all the infinite corners of the internets, but I think it would be wise to wait until Gamma Stage is over before doing that.

There's not much else new in me-land. I've just been working my usual schedule and focusing on .moon, fixing bugs and keeping an eye on the forums and stuff. Doing a little writing here and there when I can dredge up the motivation.

For those of you who care about such things, "Misconception" won second place in SMFanfiction.net's "Fanfic of the Year" awards for 2004.

Congrats on the award and finishing a scene in AAO. It always feels great to get to the end of a chunk. I keep an outline so that I can cross off portions of it as I go. Keeps me going. ^_^ But I know you don't do the whole planning thing.

Actually, since this story's turned out so long, I've had to do a little planning. I keep a short list of the key scenes I want in the next couple of chapters, so I won't forget anything important. I stop myself from planning any more than three chapters in advance, though, so I don't fall into the trap.

And yes, I do cross them off as I go and it is a very rewarding feeling. ^^
