I hemmed and I hawed...Ardor in August!

[phyncke]

I flailed around for a bit. Self-recriminations, self doubt and all that analytical BS that goes into deciding to do the Ardor in August challenge. Would I have time? Would I be motivated? Would I be able to produce anything worth reading? But I know there will be others out there suffering along with me. I will not be alone and that comforting thought tipped my decision. I have signed up for Ardor in August 2015. I even said I would beta if anyone needs me to.

So that is that. I now wait to see what my prompt will be - what sort of story I will be able to put together. But this is fun. I will put aside my WIP a bit longer and do this one. So feel free to comment in here if you have signed up! We can commiserate together! I am glad I will do this. I will have a fresh new, shiny story to work on and a deadline to work towards. Yay!

So - if you are in the Tolkien fandom and want to participate in this worthwhile exchange - go to this post and read up on the rules and regs and then see what you want to do it. It is very fun - there are lots of good writers and you will very likely receive an amazing story for your efforts.

Hiya! I'm currently trudging through a Heroine Big Bang but even knowing I will be beat by the time the prompts come in I bit the bullet. I do love the Slashy Santa/Ardour in August swap - run by people we know, lots of friends and acquaintances participating. I think every entry has its worth and some MANY are really stellar.

I'm so glad you joined in - your posts in the last round were a lot of fun and helpful - it's almost co-moding and it feels like having a personal cheerleader!

*hugs*

I am psyched about doing it now. I need to get my writing mojo back! :) I will post every excrutiating step of the way, I am sure. :P
