scheduling

[mhalachai]

For the first time in my life, I have made up a writing schedule in order to actually get stuff done.

And for your edification, here it is (in order).

1. Chapter 10 of Physics of the Spin. The end of that chapter is a nice place to break for a bit, by which I mean a really nasty cliffhanger. I might or might not work on this while I'm working on #3, will see.

2. Chapter 13 of Dawning Light, which is the end of the first installment. There is a great deal of plot spacing between Part I and Part II, so the delay is a natural one, and it's a place I can leave it for a while. No, I'm not going to explain that one further ;)

3. The rest of Inevitable. I'm moving it to the "end" of this schedule because it's not going to be a quick process.

And there may/will be small ficlettes in the middle, mostly Torchwood related at this point because new fandoms are fun and inspiring.

Since PotS is so very much still eating my brain, I'm not sure if I can actually *stop* working on it for that long. Just this morning I was working out the climactic action scene for the story... I can't escape this story, no matter how hard I try.

Rodney will soon be must more prevalent - now that I have essentially skipped six months, and Rory will soon be on Atlantis, we'll have lots of Rodney. Because this is a story about how the teenage geek knocked up the pretty girl and when said brilliant offspring comes to town. All Rodney, all the time (except when not, but that's life. It'll at least include the Atlantis krew.

Thanks so much for your words on the characters - I have tried to keep them "in voice", even when Rory's going a little nuts. She's a hard character to write but I'm still giving it a go :)

I can't really see this hiatus lasting that long. I'll get sucked back into the story soon, knowing myself.

Yay. *bounces*

Even if Rodney isn't *physically* present, he is still prominent in every paragraph. Because, even though it isn't "all about Rodney", paradoxically, it also is.

My sympathies on your Rory difficulties. For me, her mindset through (most of) the story so far is completely foreign, the whole thing about who you are being defined by your parents and ancestors. Though maybe that's an "old families of New England" mindset? Or maybe not, considering the popularity of genealogy research as a hobby. Still, foreign to me. But an excellent motivating force for Rory in the story.

And she did go a little nuts, didn't she. Obsessive even.

Looking forward to more as it arrives.
