mickeymI have the Beastie Boys and the Zombies' lyrics mixing in my head right now. It's not a pretty picture.
I sent an email off to Rhonda a little while ago asking (begging) if she'll call in an antibiotic scrip for me, since to my not-inexperienced self, my cold's morphed from a cold into something resembling a sinus infection/bronchitis mix. Coughing, wheezing, sinus pain/pressure, low-grade fever that comes and goes, body aches. Yeah, we're having fun now! Bleh. It's the wheezing that's most troubling, because it takes so little to push my asthma over from controlled to out-of-control.
Meanwhile, my exchange story, which was barreling along nicely last night, has stalled out. It's hard to get motivated to write when you feel like roadkill, but I'm going to give it a shot here in a little bit.
I've seen a lot of folks on my flist tallying up their writing for the past year. Mine looks something like this:
SPN (mostly Sam/Dean, a couple of others): 11 stories, ~26,325 words
RPS (Jared/Jensen): 6 stories, ~46,910 words
Total: 17 stories, ~73,235 words
There were probably a few comment ficlets and some drabbles scattered in amongst there, but yeah. Not my most productive year, which is really kind of funny when you consider that I've been unemployed since August. I think I need to consider that, when I'm looking at goals for 2010.
I had some other stuff I wanted to ponder, but it's stuff best flocked and filtered, so I'll leave that for another time (hopefully a time also when my head doesn't feel like it's about to explode). Ugh.
Now to see what I can do with Sam and Dean.

Date: 2009-12-29 01:59 am (UTC)Hey, that's a pretty decent writing tally! I know what you mean about being unemployed and not really getting any more writing done, though. I'm in the same boat. Ah, well. I still think that 73K is dang good!
