Writing Stats: October 2020
Oct. 24th, 2020 11:37 amI really want to complete my stories. It helps to keep track of them, so they're not forgotten.
My WIP (not so anonymous) writer's statement:
My name is Jacie, and I have 2 WIPs.
Notes:
I've posted all three of my BBs. Three is the max you can enter in the Big Bang-Multi Bang. I'm now the first and only person who has done so. It was fun once, but not sure I'd ever want to try again.
I will say, I was a bit sad and hurt that I had 1/3 of the BB summaries this year. And yet, mine were 3 of the last 4 claimed for artwork. Only 1 of mine got claimed the first day, and I ended up self-claiming one after 3 days because no one was interested in it. But I am happy with the artwork I did.
Oddly enough though, if the first three summaries claimed weren't in the running, then mine would have been the first three claimed, instead of the last. My summaries tend to be the bridesmaids. Basically, they're the 2nd or 3rd choice and the artist just gets an earlier choice. My summaries are almost always claimed later. Oh well.
I'm also seeing a trend, though, where certain artists are claiming authors that they work with on a regular basis. Obviously, they know which summaries belong to their friends. All I will say is that I hope they're making their choices based on the summary, not their friendship with the authors. Just saying, it's nice to see artists work for different authors - and for different authors to get the best artists to treat them, so I would truly like the artists to claim the summaries that appeal to them the most, no matter whose they are. However, as I run the claims, I can say they are fair. They are LIVE. There is no way I can alter the outcome (unless I delete comments, which I would never do in this case), so if they pick a friend's summary and get it, it was all fairly done.

Current Bunnies:
Started 2019:
RB 2019 bunny
2350 WC - last updated 10/18/2020
Progress: ADDED 300 words
I wasn't going to sign up for the RB in 2019. I really didn't have time and pretty much for years have been writing for one challenge or another. I felt I needed a break. Although, I also wanted to write. I did start something based on a piece that was not claimed. I decided I would claim it if I got close enough to finish a story. Sad to say, there was a lot of family turmoil and issues going on in Feb-April. I simply did not really have time to write. Maybe I'll finish this one day. This revolves around bringing Ziva back onto the team after she left.
Started 2014:
Photography bunny
WC 2900 (last updated 10/20/2019)
Progress: None
This bunny was inspired by artwork posted with Gibbs taking pictures. I started it during the summer (BB writing period...I was struggling with The Contract and started a few other projects during this time, also got several chapters of SOLD! done.) So it's undercover, Gibbs as a photographer. I got a bit further. Still not sure if it will ever get finished.
List of unstarted Bunnies:
At this time, there are 5.
1) OCT 2019 - Fictional Characters bunny
2) FEB 2020 - Training bunny
3) APR 2020 - Sr Conman bunny
4) AUG 2020 - Kidnapped bunny
5) OCT 2020 – Multiverse Bunny
Starting this up again. So I have a list of ideas that I keep, but have not started writing. As these are just thoughts, they may or may not ever get written. If I haven't written a bunny in 5 years, I usually delete it. Remember my Brokeback Mountain bunny? Yep, gave up on that. Never started it, can't remember where I was even going to go, so it's wiped for now. It happens. I have written stories with horses, so that will suffice for now.
On the other hand, I had Alien bunny on the list for years and that eventually became a BB story, and one of the longer stories I've written, Visions. So, you just never know!
