turpsI submitted my BBB in the early hours of this morning. It's got three placeholder scenes and the worst ending ever. Seriously, if it gets picked for a mix I feel like I should be apologising to that person because they're going to get to the end and go, the fuck? But after churning out over 5k yesterday I hit a spot where I was done. I didn't want to look at it, think about it, anything. So slapped on a last line and said, that's it.
Thankfully for any readers there's time to actually expand that ending, because how it stands now I wouldn't want anyone to see it.
While I was writing the first pictures from Comic Con started to show up, and I was delighted to see that Mikey was wearing his Governess!Mikey hat of ugly awesomeness.
Then this one turned up this morning.
Corey's painting his bedroom today. He's having it white with a black feature wall so is up there banging around. I keep going up and helping move furniture when needed but mostly he's going solo. How James hasn't woke up I don't know, what with the shifting things around and the chaos of trying to herd cats out of the room.
While he's doing that I intend to chill by myself, and hopefully catch up online. Which so far has meant me watching the last three episodes of Leverage. A good use of my time I'd say.

5k!!! You rock. Under that kind of stress, I would be lucky to get 5 words.

I hope Corey's painting went well and that no cats got too paint spattered ;-)

Date: 2011-07-23 10:11 pm (UTC)Ugliest hat ever! But the Ways are being adorable shopping together at Comic Con and no ugly hat is in sight. I love them so much!
Well, his room is done, and Milo has a whiter tail now *g*

Date: 2011-07-27 03:27 am (UTC)I remember doing a triple take when I saw the Governess!Mikeyway photo. *g* I'm not ashamed to say that I squeed as if I'd been the recipient of a cup of good Chai that had poofed from the thin air. Hee!

Date: 2011-07-23 03:03 pm (UTC)Anyway, I'm both excited and scared about the mixer/artist claiming, and also worried that I totally forgot to map out some important details or something, since I looked it over at... 5AM. Also, I don't have an ACTUAL ending scene, like the very end, and instead wrote smth like "ending scenes are hard!" there. Like, the plot was already done with, but man. /o\ Thing is, sometimes I write a scene and then realise that I've actually written the last scene and THEN my brain thinks that I am DONE with the story, even though I have tons of other scenes to write. ... Whoa, rambling.

I hear you! I do that often, my brain going, it's finished. Then my beta says, oh no it's not!
And I see you've been claimed. Congrats!

Date: 2011-07-23 08:33 pm (UTC)Yes! \o/ And you too, wohoo! Now I'm reading the summaries and refreshing the artists' post, lol.

Date: 2011-07-23 04:49 pm (UTC)I really like Gerard's red hair with the black roots coming out. Also, helloooooo sideburns!
Room painting sounds like a lot of fun but also a lot of work. Doesn't it get paint-fumy?
Leverage is really cool, so definitely a good use of time!
no subject
Date: 2011-07-23 08:24 pm (UTC)Both Ways seem to have out of control sideburns, it's insane.
It does get paint fumey, but it's done now and the house is airing out. Hopefully the smell will be gone by tomorrow.
I love Leverage, especially the threesome of awesome.

Man, I really want to go one of these years. Thanks for posting the pics. Lyn-Z is a hot ass, as per usual and DAMN MIKEYWAY. The governess hat cannot disguise your blazing hot buff self. [Seriously - when did he get *that* buff? I mean, yes, he's been spreading the hotassery around for some time, but the shoulder/chest/arms sitch in those pictures is a little unreal.]

Date: 2011-07-23 08:19 pm (UTC)And we can actually thank the new job for this too, because I was talking about writing with my carpool pal Friday morning and she talked me into finishing the story.
Ahaha... I can understand how you might think that was a concidence, considering that this is the VERY FIRST time I've finished a challenge story. But no, that's definitely me. :D

Date: 2011-07-23 08:14 pm (UTC)I think we have about three weeks. Which I could do with three months.
Comic con looks amazing, and not just for the bandom element. He's obviously been working out getting ready for his second wrestling career *g*

I understand so, so much. If it helps, my end is currently an outline. :D? And I suspect that yours is much, much better than you think.
Three weeks! I can do three weeks. If it was much longer, I think my brain would explode.
The bandom element is only a small part of why I want to go too.
Ahahahaha... yeah, that must be what's going on there.

Date: 2011-07-23 08:40 pm (UTC)Leverage has been especially awesome so far this season. Last week's episose was just gorgeous, and the one with the murder mystery type deal kept making me crack up because Elliot looked like he'd stepped straight out of the Sixteen Candles 'verse.
I'm keeping quiet about your BBB and its ending *g* But still, CONGRATULATIONS on "finishing" on time, bb!

Date: 2011-07-23 08:45 pm (UTC)He did! His bow tie and hat and now I'll always picture him going off to fight with vampires. He'd kick their ass I'm sure.
I just read T's comment before yours, about how the ending probably isn't as bad as I think, and I was trying to think of ways to say, yeah, it really, really is *g*
no subject
Date: 2011-07-23 09:16 pm (UTC)It gives me heart eyes, and want to write all the fic about the Ways. All of it! I may have to work Gerard into a scene more somehow.

Date: 2011-07-23 10:01 pm (UTC)I am on board with you writing all the fic about the Ways, very on board. And, um, in my head there is totally a subplot to your BBB involving the Ways and brotherly advice.

There's so much I want to say right now but it would reveal what I actually wrote. Still, I can imagine those conversations so well.
