lj breaks and datestamps, anyone? :)

So I have this novel I started during NaNo, right? I wrote 30k words, plotted the whole thing out, fell in love with people who weren't the JJ's (!!!) and basically started doing what I've said I wanted to do for YEARS.

And now it's the end of January, and I want to finish the first draft by my birthday in April, b/c I can be just as symbolic as the next person, BUT. I'm having a hard time getting down to tacks here when I ALSO want to write the JJ's making out in the surf of some white-sand beach, and Merlin and Arthur falling in love in Victorian England. I was moaning to sori1773 about this a few weeks ago.

Me: What's wrong with me? It's like I'm purposely distracting myself! If it weren't for NaNo, I would never have started the book in the first place. *frets*
She: So do another NaNo.

She's smarter than I am. It's one of the reasons I love her. :D

Soooooo, I'm taking a live journal break for the month of February to work on my book. (eeep!) I'll still be around on email, and to answer bigbang questions, and I'll most definitely be back in March.

But BEFORE I GO *g*, I'd like to offer up some datestamps, if anyone's interested. (oh, man. I never do stuff like this b/c I always expect, you know, *crickets* in response, but.)

Comment here with a future time frame and the title of anything I've written, anything at all. I'll write a few hundred words in that 'verse and post them on Monday.

Thanks for playing. :D

ETA: That's ten, so I'm going to cap it here. Thanks so much for the prompts! :D:D

So Close to My Heart, obviously. Um, I'd actually like to see something from Alona's pov. Can you do that? If not, then any time in the future. Though I see two requests for that already. I'll gladly just read theirs!

Alona's a big part of the one-year out piece I have in mind, would that be okay? *hugs* :D
