Introduction and Getting Started Meme
Name: kaycee
Fandom(s) you are working on for this fest: HP and one X-Files, assuming I can pull it off.
Participation: Writer (and reluctant web site builder) for this fest. I also beta occasionally and am currently a co-mod at another fest.
The one item from your list that you most want to complete: My Tom/Hermione table for 100quills.
Items with a deadline other than this fest: The fic for luciusfqf.
Most fun item on your list: I love writing "Walking With A Ghost".
Item you are dreading the most/need the most encouragement on: Finishing my fic website.
How do you start a project? Depends on the project. Usually I start off with a general outline. Sometimes (especially with OneShots) I just start writing and see where the story takes me.
In what conditions do you work best? I write best in the evenings/at night, when it's quiet.
One thing that always inspires you to create: Listening to my favourite music. And when the ideas just won't come, I usually go for a walk in the park or the woods near here.
One general thing you would really like to improve on: My anxiety (lack of confidence) about posting or even completing something. Sometimes things just get shelved because I'm spazzing over them.
Advice and/or questions regarding the creative process that you have for the other members of the community: Hm... Question: mostly to the people who seem to write for so many prompts each week: "How do you do it, time-management-wise?"
Advice (which I should probably take, myself, sometimes *g*): Create what you want to create, and remember that this should stay a hobby, not become a chore or something that adds additional stress to your life.
A teaser from something you've got at least partially done:
The look on his face. I'll never forget it.
He may be an FBI agent, but he's still wet behind the ears; a rookie who hasn't seen much of life, much of anything.
No, he's no Mulder, that's for damn sure.
"I'll be my own great man," he says as he storms out of the room and out onto the street, and I don't know why I feel I've got to stop him, save him from doing something phenomenally stupid, but before I can start analyzing my reasons, I'm already out the door.
