So I woke up this morning and actually felt like I wanted to eat something for the first time in days, which is awesome. (Though I suspect I've guzzled many litres of orange juice and tea in the interim.) I don't feel fantastic, but it's sure better than yesterday.

And SPN/J2 Big Bang author/artist reveals went up! I'm so excited! I know I've been talking about it a lot, but I love this challenge and I love my story and I love reading everything that's posted and... yes. Excited! Can't wait!

This one was mine, surprising no one who's been paying attention to my 'I can't believe I restarted my whole project a month before deadline!' flailing:

Title: Metaphysical
In late 1905, after three years of separation, Dean Winchester reappears in his brother's life to bring him news of their father's disappearance. In the wake of Sam's inventor-girlfriend's subsequent death, so similar to that of their mother two decades earlier, their search quickly becomes a chase through a world of spirits and airships, demons and automata. It leads them all the way across the country and back again, in an automobile Dean himself devised, not only on the trail of their father but of the demon who started it all.

I was trying to keep the summary short, but looking at the others I could've gone a lot longer. :D The whole thing is basically a crash of steampunk, dieselpunk, weird west and Kerouac, and I got tammylee for my artist, whose sketches look like they'll be an amazing stylistic match for the story so I'm just really incredibly excited about the whole thing. \o/ (OMG so much work left to do on the story, though!)

Also exciting? Being able to breathe without the rattling in my lungs being heard from across the apartment. Oh yes, today is going to be an awesome day. :D

This morning I woke up and the heat was still on and I didn't immediately attempt to hack up a glue-filled lung so I'd say today is shaping up to be a Very Good Friday. (Well, I did cough immediately upon sitting up, but it was more of a "Let me just clear that crap out of your throat for you, Madame Awesome, and is there anything else I can do for you today?" kind of cough.)

I've set myself extremely high writing goals for today, but I know I can do it if I just sit down and do it. My biggest obstacle is, like, the constant urge to wander away and get gelato or change my music or just stare out the window because it's there. But today I have goals so let's see how well I can do with that.

If by noon I have twenty new icons, a clean sock drawer and a couple more LJ posts, you'll know how it's going.

Okay, I've got some seriously uncomfortable vertigo going on again today and I'm having trouble looking at my screen, so I'm going back to bed for a while. So if I didn't [heart] you yet it was lack of time, not lack of appreciation. Hopefully comments will remain open after the reveal. The screen is shaking in front of me so ima go now. ♥

The most embarrassing thing I've had to say so far today:

"Do you happen to know where the first aid kit is? I've injured myself on the toilet."

><

Also, Write or Die is just about the best thing ever. I can usually get 600-700 words out in a ten-minute burst, which I can do several times a day in between other tasks. (Yes, I do fear my computer yelling at me. You wanna make something of it? >.> )
