I started a new story on October 15 and I just posted chapter 12, bringing the story up to 19k words. That’s not a nanowrimo pace, but considering that I’m also working full time and hosted a Halloween party, I’m feeling pretty good about it. Of course, it’s November 2nd and I’m still working on a Sp00qy Occult October story, but *shrug*

Sorry I’m late, Mi6-cafe lovelies…damned work and family…
From my Occult October Challenge piece… First chapter is going up tonight!
“So, in essence,” Bond says, swirling his wine in his glass. “You take responsibility for our well-being, both when we’re abroad and at the home base.”
“Yes, well,” he stammers, adjusting his glasses. “You cannot do your job if you aren’t kept safe and able to concentrate on—”
“—Q, I’m not teasing. I’m quite appreciative, considering that I’m currently benefiting from, shall we say your willingness to make house calls. Just… for all your efforts, you cannot protect us from everything. You shouldn’t try to bear that. Especially when our…adversary, if you will… may not even be mortal.”
Q blinks, awkwardly.
“I dearly hope, Q, that your program turns something up. But you can’t deny that I saw something last night you didn’t. Your tech isn’t going to be able to solve that mystery.”
Q inwardly rails against the idea. Of course his tech will find it, whatever it is. He does not believe in the supernatural, and nothing he knows of Bond would suggest he would either.
“‘Once you’ve have eliminated the impossible —’” Bond continues.
“—Give me a bit more time to eliminate the impossible, won’t you Bond, before accepting any improbable ‘truths’? I’ve barely been at it a day.”
Bond nods his acquiescence, sipping his wine again.

I’ve written 1k words today…
…which means this fic is now 10k words and I need to start trying to wrap it up, because I should start posting late this week and it’s not done…
In other news, anyone writing?
Write!
I got more coffee and am moving to a sunnier room. So between all that and your directive, I should be good to go. Also, I have a deadline…
Why aren’t I writing?
Have time to write? CHECK
Have writing project? CHECK (three actually)
Have coffee? CHECK
Have written anything in the last hour while fucking around on Tumblr? uh, no

from my October Occult Challenge (sp00qy) fic:
At two a.m. every light in the house comes on. A door creaks and slams shut, and then the lights flicker as a series of dissonant sounds echo through the flat. Q can’t distinguish most of them, but the the last thing he hears is undeniably in M’s voice: “I assume you have no regrets. It would be unprofessional.” And then the room plunges into darkness.
Q has already grabbed his laptop and is checking that he has data from every sensor when he hears the click of the door down the hall and the soft approach of footsteps. He glances up as Bond clears the corner, wild-eyed with his gun drawn.
“If you shoot me, 007, I shall be quite vexed.”
