mad, mad mission: sign me up!

Dear [livejournal.com profile] yuletide and [livejournal.com profile] 3_ships Santas!

How nice of you to volunteer to make me a present! You are ALREADY super awesome just for being here. And seriously, do what you want. I'd much rather have you do something interesting that you're psyched about than something that fits my wossnames, requests.

(Oh, but the part where, And Then They Have Sex? I want that part. Even if it's just a tasteful fadeout. *g*)

Honestly, do your voodoo, Santa!

Love and other indoor sports,
Sab.

My assignments are fairly awesome. My [livejournal.com profile] 3_ships assignment is the sort where I want to write, like, ALL of my person's requests, so, rock the fuck on.

My [livejournal.com profile] yuletide assignment is problematic challenging in that I actually only know one of the fandoms requested, and the characters requested are pretty obscure within that fandom. However! I see this as an opportunity to rent some new and slashy movies, and then write the hell out of 'em. Woo! Go team me!

In further ambitious news, today was Day 1 of my Writer's Boot Camp class. I'm writing a pilot in 6 weeks. It will ROCK HARD. (She says, now, all bright-eyed and stupid) I have to write, among other things, NINETY SCENES by Monday. Or, really, by THURSDAY, if I want them ready for the online "office hours" virtual class Thurs. night.

But fret not, soldiers. All this means is it's back to back writing for the next six weeks, and there's nothing wrong with that, no, not at all. Because [livejournal.com profile] runpunkrun and I have 60k (so far!) of sexy SGA fun that needs to be finished, and aside from that I have a WHOLE NOTHER (I'm a card-carrying member of the "make 'nother' a word!" club) SGA thingy that's full of drahhhhma and porn that wants finishing, and I'll betcha I get 'em ALL done in the next six weeks.

Thank god I'm collecting unemployment. I'll need to find another, like, hundred bucks a week on top of my unemployment to get through the next six weeks, but I figure I can make that up freelancing or being an extra.

And it could be worse; I could have signed up for NaNoWriMo.

Oh. ALSO. I have a car for the next two days. Which is splendid splendid. [livejournal.com profile] thassalia, what are your plans this week(end) when M. arrives? Come be with us!

congrats on a car! And a pilot!

I am dull and just doing dumb freelance things right now this week. let me know if you want to hang and be people who don't have real jobs. (all pending, depending on whether or not I get a temp gig)

A PILOT? An actual PILOT? That is SO fucking cool.

Sounds like things are going okay for you, yeah? That makes me happy. :)

P.S. Being an extra would be a cool way to make some money, wot wot!

Car? Em with transportation? Whoo Hooo!!! We are mostly hoteling for the con, but I'm not planning on buying tickets, just spending bar time and work and rustling up freelance time, so we should so, so play this weekend!! (Or week:) Hee:)

Yeah for your pilot, which absolutely will rock very, very hard:) Wish I could have taken bootcamp with you, but alas, completely empty pockets until the job starts. And now I need to file for my own unemployment:)

We were going to get dinner or drinks or something tonight after Bron finishes work!! Come out with us!
