~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I found out at the last minute that AU_bigbang isn't doing a fourth round this year because people were jerks (which, why? Why do people do?) so I signed up for heroinebigbang over on LiveJournal instead. It's basically the same format/length, with a much shorter timeframe. So ... I will still be writing stupid amounts, but I'll be able to get it done before I go to Peru! Yay! (Although I might need to talk to the mod about that, depending ... I have no idea what my schedule will be like in Peru, so it's best to get everything done before then, but the posting date is only a couple of days after I arrive so who the hell knows what that will be like.)
Anyway, I'm still excited about this. I've got an outline and a couple of miscellaneous bits of story written, and have I mentioned that I'm excited? I am so excited to write a long story.
I'm also going to be ridiculously swamped with work unless I can get my shit together, so I'm trying to do that. I've been walking around in a sievelike haze for ages now. I got five and a half hours of sleep last night and woke up groggy, but once I was awake I could focus. I've been alert and eloquent and cheerful all day, and it's been great. I don't know whether or not to risk being completely incapacitated if I repeat the same thing -- as a general rule I tend to function exceptionally well the first night that I go with less than six hours of sleep, and then after that I'm a wreck ... but then again, that's a general rule and things have not been normal lately.
