hmpf

I just sent off a FS ficlet nine years in the making to my beta. Don't expect anything grand - the main reasons it took me so long was the fundamental uninterestingness of the fic. There was always something more interesting and urgent to write.

But I wanted to finish something, this week. It's been a year and a half since my last published story, and that was a fairly insubstantial one (The Last Lost Generation, aka fanfic-based fanfic). It's high time I published something again.

I have this crazy idea of publishing three stories this year. It's crazy because my average, over the last ten years, has been well under two per year (1.7, and that's counting the one I just sent off). But I have amassed so many WiPs that I feel I really need to get some of them off my to do list now. Also, some of them are mainly stalled because, well, they're not all that spectacular, and so I've always been tempted to work on something else first. I have several somewhat redundant, three-quarters-finished FS fics on my hard drive, for instance. The idea is to get two of those out there, and, in addition, finish one of my more ambitious fics. That one probably being the Back to the Future LoM thing.

I really, really hope I'll be able to pull this off. It would feel so good...

The last time I managed three fics in one year was 2003.
