Month Five, Day One!

[wintergrey]

Today is my unbirthday and also May Day, so it is one of my favourite days. It's the start of the May challenge, too.

So, how do you go about reaching your goals? Do you plan it out step-by-step, set deadlines, poke at it, do it all as fast as you can, or wait until the last minute? Have you ever wanted to try a different strategy? How are you going to do it this month?

I have been thinking about a Marcello fic called "Always Dilligent", but I haven't gotten past a few lines of the fic.

I'm going to be busy fixing Ebay pics, making incense, and posting stuff today, so writing will be a bit difficult today.

Thinking about writing counts! Some people call it "composting", I call it "brewing" or "percolating". The brain needs time to turn things over and decide what to do with them.
