to write or not to write - lately that's the ONLY question

[seren_ccd]

Apparently het_bigbang is a go in about a month. I’m very conflicted about this because a) it’s an awesome challenge and everyone is always super nice and fun and it’s just a great experience (thanks, irony_rocks!) that I love being a part of; BUT

b) I’m sort of thinking if I’m going to devote at least three months of hard-core writing, it should probably be on my novel/story/thing.

But basically my question is this – is ANY writing better than NO writing? I have extremely limited time and I might be able to devote time to only one story at a time. Maybe if the option to do a mini-bang of 10,000 words is available?

‘Cause, I kinda sorta had an idea for a Darcy/Steve epic adventure where they fight sharks created by mad scientists. fringedweller pointed out the research opportunities in regards to making sure I describe Chris Evans naked torso accurately, which I have to say would be a hardship that I’m willing to endure.

:P

So glad I'm not the only one. Honestly, fic is easier. Fic has something closer to instant gratification. If you've got any momentum at all on the novel, DON'T STOP. It's way too easy to say you'll get back to it and then not for months. (Ask me how I know!)

Oh, tell me about it! I think I've come to a mini-compromise with myself and am going to go for a mini-bang with the promise that if I feel the need for original fic - I go with it!
