solarianaI 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 6 WIPs.
So wow, I haven't posted an update here in months! So, major health issues with the parents. I got a call from the atty saying it was time to invoke the POA. The next day, a police car pulled up informing me my parents were lost and I had to go pick them up as they didn't think Dad should drive any more. They took the keys away. Each brother spent some time here, and agreed that they cannot be allowed to live in their house. They need 24/7 care. We moved them close to my brothers (a couple states away from me). They both have dementia. Dad still doesn't understand that he has issues. We set them up in an apartment in an assisted living place, where they have 24/7 caregivers on hand, meals prepared, and they have someone who cleans the apartment and washes their laundry. One of my brothers or SiLs visits them each day of the week. Probably more than any other resident. I only saw them 2-3 days a week when they lived across the street! On the other hand, Dad can't even operate the TV remote anymore and that's all he wants to do. Mom just wants to sleep and Dad just wants to watch sports.
I released the medical POA to my brother since he's there with them. I am still the POA for everything else and the trustee of the trust. I'm stuck talking to the atty and finance guy, and will have to clear out and sell the house. So much to do and so little time. It takes a lot of time just to sort through their mail and pay their bills. Anyway, that's what's going on this year rather than much writing. Although, I only wrote 3 stories last year.
Completed:
Healed by Moonlight - This was my SeSa for dont_hate_me_01. It's my 3rd SeSa for her, and I think it's the best. I wrote shapeshifters, even though it's not something I'm into. Since I'm not into it, I don't know much about them...or vampires. I did a bit of research, but did make up my very own race of shapeshifters. I think it went over pretty well.
I am usually not happy with stories that I post. They always seem to be better in my head before I write them down. But I will say, I am so very proud of all of my 2018 stories. There were only 3, but I really like them all. The first was Whisper In The Wind for the Reverse Bang. I feel like this is the best NCIS story I've ever written. Just love it to pieces and so proud of how it turned out. Although, it's been about a year since I've read it. Visions was my Big Bang, about aliens. And MPreg. Something I said I would never write. Standard MPreg, no. But this was alien MPreg, so okay. I tried. I'm happy with the end result. The last story was Healed By Moonlight, with shapeshifters and vampires. Two more things I'd said I'd never write. So I stretched as an author last year and was happy with the results.
I did start writing second chances in 2018, but finished and posted it in 2019. Very early 2019. It was mostly written in 2018. I always wanted to connect the two fielding families. I've been waiting for the series to do it and they never did. So I wrote this. I got my first troll who kept posting how this could never happen the way I wrote it. Here's the thing. It's FICTION. There are a LOT of fiction stories out there that can't happen. The entire series has tons of flaws in it, so get the FUCK off my case, TROLL CHRISSIE. I was in a bad mood when I saw her comments...and she didn't just post one, she posted two as in, "Oh I forgot to add...". I had had a long day (lots of OT to keep up) and lots of issues with my parents (they both have dementia and live across the street, so if I'm not working, I'm usually over there, before work, on my breaks, lunch, after work and weekends. I work OT, then have to do their shopping, cooking, cleaning, etc, plus my own, too. Fanfic is the one happy place right now) and I was simply NOT IN THE MOOD. So I deleted her comments. She then posted anonymously how I delete any comment that I don't agree with. BULLSHIT. I've only deleted one person's comments in 15 years, and it was hers. Ha. So I deleted her anonymous comment and made it so no one can comment anonymously. Bye Troll. I have no time for you.
Started 2019:
RB - RB bunny
1100 WC - last updated 04/06/2019
I wasn't going to sign up for the RB this year. 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 finishing 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 2018:
BB - Lonely Tony Bunny
11200 WC - last updated 05/19/2019
I wrote just a very little bit in 2018, but that is when I opened the file. The majority was written in the past week. I should be clearing out my parents' house, and cleaning my house, but Muse wants to write. I'm hoping to get this done in 20K or so. Maybe I can get it done by August.
Started 2016:
Musician Bunny
850 WC (no change - last update unknown, maybe August 2016)
I've been musing about writing musician fic for a bit. I had some great stuff come to me when I was drifting off, but only remembered one line when I got up and tried to get it down. Once I finished my BB # 2 in 2016, I tried adding a bit to this. I was thinking maybe it could be a Micro Bang story. I'm just not sure where to go with it though. Do I make it an undercover fic? Or does Tony get offered a job as a musician full time? Do I just make a short little bit of fluff at the bar? Hmmm.
Started 2014:
Plane bunny
WC 843 (no change - last updated 02/22/2015)
This one has been bouncing around my head for a couple of years. Never started it, just had some general idea for it. Based kind of sort of Cast Away. When the season premiere (Sept 2014) started with Gibbs and Tim in a helicopter crash, I thought to abandon this, but it's different. They crashed in a forest, shot down and chased by bad guys. In my story, they crash in the ocean and wind up on an island.
Undercover bunny
WC 3770 (no change - last updated 12/27/2014)
Naemi is so good to me that I wanted to write something for her. I started writing it during the BB writing period. I may have added a couple hundred words here and there since. It is currently at 3770. Tim/Tony undercover. Tim gets kidnapped and tortured. I haven't added to this one in a long while and I would love to get it finished so I can present it to Naemi before she loses all interest in reading NCIS. I've been thinking more about this one. I'd really like to finish it one day.
Photography bunny
WC 1180 (no change - last updated 12/21/2014)
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. Maybe abandoned forever.
