Fic Update

[amberfocus]

After three weeks of the worst writer's block I have ever had, I got rather walloped by inspiration last night and sat down and wrote a twenty-chapter outline for A Sky Without Stars. Now I have always known where the relationships were going to go in this story, all the emotional stuff that was going to be covered and the life events {i.e. Donna's wedding to James, the birth of their baby, Rose moving in with Jonathon, Renee's plotline and Jack's plotline, as well as Caelum and the baby TARDIS (who will get her name)}, and all that, but I only had the vaguest ideas of the adventure to wrap it around. Sort of...well, it has to happen in the ocean and the submarine will be involved and Yumi and the aliens at Illuminate, and the Institute and more with the Time Vortex. But nothing fully gelled. Now I've got it in full detail, something to write towards instead of just dinking around trying to wing it as I go.

I'm going to have to do some research on magnetometers and geothermal imaging and sidescan sonar for some of it, and possibly some marine biology and geology as well, but at least I know where it's all going to go. And it'll likely be more than 20 chapters. That's just the adventurey stuff. There will probably be a good ten chapters of relationshippy stuff and smut. It is Jonathon and Rose, after all. Least if I don't deviate too much from the outline. If I do, there could be more, but I don't really want to write another gigantic fic like Zeppelins or WM. More in the 50,000 to 80,000 word range.

And I'm not abandoning Hunger Moon. I think I've worked out the final kinks of what was blocking that story so I still hope to get that finished by the end of the year. So here's hoping my muses are back to stay and I can actually get some time in writing on what's left of the weekend.

Yay!!! *hugs you* I know how much it frustrates you to be blocked so I am really happy for you to know you've unblocked a few things.

It seems writer's block has been rather contagious lately. I'm so glad to hear you've hit the blockade with the inspiration stick. :)

A Sky without Stars? A sequel to A Sky Without Zeppelins? Hooray! Surely writing this will restore the positive karma in your life -- you are due some good happenings!
