--Which fic has been the easiest to write?

Oh, that's a harder question to answer than hardest fic. Anything involving snarky banter covering up pining and including an awkward moment of intimacy at the end (i.e. 80% of my one-shots) was probably easiest. :)

I had a good writing week! I finished a long one-shot I've been working on for ages, finished another chapter, and am making good progress on everything at the moment. Happiness! I hope your easiest fic to work on is the one you're working on right now!

Strangely, I'd probably pick Destiny in the Blood, my epic BDSM AU for Smallville. It was a NaNo story and it just flew from my fingers over the month. Really happy with that one even after all these years.

I was doing all right but then I caught a cold on Tuesday and my productivity bottomed out. Plus I'm going off on a Writer's conference this weekend (Tomorrow! OMG!) so I expect no writing at all until I get home again on Sunday. Probably Monday. But it should be a really good conference--all about the publishing side of things rather than the writing side of things. :D

Good luck on the writing--looking forward to seeing your stories!

Will you be doing NaNo again this year? If it were any other month (okay, maybe not December) I'd give it a crack sometime, but November? I have meetings and travel every weekend, it would be doomed to failure before I began. *sigh* I do so love reading about success stories with NaNo, though!

I hope the conference went great! Publishing is such a complex business now, I'm sure a conference on it could be really useful!

I plan to, not that it's appreciably different from other months for me. Still, it's always nice to have company in the madness. ;)

I'm actually there right now! I'll be here all week and I'll come home next Sunday. :D So farit's really interesting but today is the first full day so there's a long ways to go yet.

I actually don't have an answer for this one either. I've thought about it, and none of them leaped immediately out at me. As I've said before, anything that's mostly dialogue probably qualifies for 'easiest'.

This hasn't been such a good writing week, but that's OK. It's been a busy IRL week. We finally have a new computer! A desktop - which means I'll have to get used to writing on a big clunky keyboard again. And now that we have a stable machine, I'll be doing a LOT of housekeeping, both trivial (remaking the sims :p) and important (re-organizing the Scrivener document that's been haphazard and messy since the computer started breaking).

[mithen]

I am SO glad you have a stable machine, even if it is a desk monster! :) I've been sad thinking of that Scrivener document languishing...

[prince0froses]

Hoo boy has it ever languished. When it first started breaking, I would use it without tagging or sorting the subdocuments, just adding on willy-nilly, then I stopped using it entirely. I have a big mess to clean up
