The addiction is serious, ppl.

Case in point, I just finished an entire week of non-stop writing. As in only four hours of sleep a night. I wanted to get some fics done and beta-ed in time for V-day, which I did, and so hence the frenzy.

On top of that, I had some giftfics to do. One I offered to do because I really like the chic, seriously. It turned out to be my first Bleach fic (Kenpachi/Kisuke) and I think she liked it. I'm pleased with the way it turned out.

The other giftfics are for people who earned them other ways, but one of them seems to be going from a oneshot to a threeshot. Then one of the people who is getting a giftfic hasn't been able to specify a pairing that I can write about...still waiting to hear back from her. And lastly, I'm doing a surprise one for my beta...that one will be beta-ed and edited by me.

Then I have chap 4 of Rapunzel to do. Chap 22 of TTB needs to be done before I can begin researching and shit for Part 2. All this is on my plate RIGHT NOW, not stuff I plan on doing sometime in the future. As of this post, I haven't written anything in...hmm, about 20 hours. Such a nice vacation.

But get this.

My wonderful illustrator, the guy I use on DA, has some pictures I found interesting; at least, they inspired a few oneshot ideas. I asked about doing this for him and he had no idea what I was talking about. Once I explained it, he was all kinds of shocked/happy/ecstatic and said he already had a story in mind and had been looking for a writer. He's Indonesian, so his English isn't great, but I said I would be happy to do it. And I am.

He sent me an outline for an 8-part, 48+ chapter saga...an entire world, literally worlds, of his own design.

The detail, the sheer enormity of the fic is ...mind-boggling. Almost horrifying. Me, being the junkie I am, jumped at it with mouth foaming and eyes mad to begin. I've never done anything like this. It will be original fiction, Sci-fi fantasy, everything COMPLETELY out of my element...but I think I can do it. I want to do it. It will give me untold amounts of new experience. I could really grow as an author. He's just over the moon about finding someone to do this for him finally and I know how he feels. I was just as happy to find someone to bring my OC's to life so I could finally see them.

Naturally, he said I can be his writer for all his works. And just as naturally, I wondered if I should offer my services to other artists, who can't write. There are actually quite a few out there. I don't know, though. I wouldn't do it for free, that's for sure. But the idea won't go away. The prospect of getting so many new ideas to put on paper...the challenge...it's enough to make me shiver in delight, for real.

Yeah, so my plate is so beyond full...I need something like a wheelbarrow or whatever to carry it all. I'm about to outline chap 22 of TTb. Should be an easy piece, nothing much going on except smut, which has already been pretty much drafted in my head. I do that sometimes...draft entire scenes or chapters in my head and keep them there until I can put them on paper. It's what lets me update as fast as I do.

So, that's it. Writing still and loving it. I really need to take time and continue with my drawing, though. I have to find a balance.
