Dear Short Story I Should Have Finished A Week Ago,

You are plotted. I know what happens. I know why it happens. I have some lovely characters all thought out. I have given them goals to achieve and emotional conflict about those goals. Admittedly, setting's a little shaky, but all in all, you have some nice worldbuilding details.

After some nine days of intermittent effort, you are EIGHTY-NINE WORDS LONG.

If you are not finished TODAY, we will miss a very important deadline. You don't want that, do you? Come on, what's approximately 4911 more words between friends?

Hoping you will shape up,
Me

Dear Baby Socks

Thank you for being interesting and fun and new and different. I'm excited about knitting again and it's all because of you. I think I'll be making multiple pairs of you just for fun.

Dear "MY Treasure!" cross-stitching project,

I see how this works. You sit there quietly in a drawer, happy to be ignored at 90% completion, until I get out materials for a brand-new project. And then you demand I finish you FIRST, even though you know all that's left to do on you is backstitching (grr) and Kreinik VFB (Very Fine Braid) crosses (GRRRRRR).

Then you're going to want me to frame you. I KNOW YOUR GAME, PROJECT.

Knitting Project

Dear Never-ending Blanket from Hell,

I've been working on you off and on for over a year and even though I am 2/3rds of the way finished, I really just want to rip you out completely and move on. I know. I know. I've taken you all over the country in this past year and shown you off and worked on you on planes and boats and even couches but I haven't picked you up for a while because I really, really think that if I do, I'm going to start ripping. I love the yarn and the pattern is wonderful but there is something about you that makes me want to let you go and use the yarn for 500 dishcloths instead. So, for now, your home is that gorgeous wicker basket by my armchair and I'm going to pretend you don't exist. Maybe I'll eventually find the courage to undo many hundreds of hours of work and move on.

Love,
Me

Dear first audiofic project¹:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I have to download [title withheld] again? WHY? WHY? WHYYYYY?

*mutter* This would suck less if I hadn't deleted it twice thinking I was done with it. Lesson learned: even if it's bad, don't delete it!

(The fic is really good, though! It will be worth it! Plus... [character] in a [location].)

Tentative love anyway,
Me

(Withholding things in case my recordee wants to be surprised by which fic I'm recording. But feel free to guess in comments. ^_^)

¹: Technically I have recorded one, but that was of my own fic, and this feels more "real" to me somehow.

oh oops, this should be an intro post

Hello and welcome to

note_to_project! This is a comm for little rants (or raves; you can share your good stuff, too!) to those projects we're working on -- whether it's a craft project, a programming project, a cooking project, a life project, an organization project, a school or work project, or something else, fannish or otherwise, you are welcome to write little notes to it here.

Please put anything long behind a cut-tag, or anything that causes you to break out large images/image macros, etc. ^_^

Also, if you feel like co-modding, I don't really anticipate anything modly needing to happen here, but it's always good to have more than one pair of eyes on a comm. <3
