Thank god for extensions!
Apr. 13th, 2014 02:09 pmThe deadline kind, not the hair kind. Real life (and okay, World of Warcraft) have kicked me in the pants lately. Technically, if I hadn't spent a few hours a week raiding with my guild, I would have had time to write and do more fannish stuff.
But WoW is my outlet in a way writing can't be. It lets me just turn my brain off for a while and escape. With writing, I'm always aware of myself. And to be honest, writing is not something that comes easy to me. I love it, but it's also a struggle, and it stresses me out.
Thank goodness that the Rare Ship Swap deadline was extended for a week. I'm writing a crossover fic in fandoms I haven't written in before (though I'm very familiar with the canons) and it's more complicated than what I'm used to doing. If I didn't have a deadline, it would probably turn into a 20-50K monster.
It's not like things will get much easier. The Romantic Times convention is in less than a month, and I'm going to be there "on the clock" for my company. Even thinking about it makes me want to fire up WoW and level up my warlock, who's been stuck at 35 for about three months...
