Diary of a Procrastinator

OK...

I've just finished updating over at psych_ch_facts up through season seven including the musical. When that is complete I plan to start back up with my Dr Who transcripts.

I will admit my writing has fallen off but I will try to work on both stories I have going now but I won't make any promises.

I am also working on a cross-stitch for the latest addition to the family, a great-niece who was born in January.

Spring has arrived as we have crocuses and snowdrops in the front yard. This is our first spring at this house so it's fun waiting for them to bloom.

Sorry I haven't been on much in any journal. My laptop went on strike over a month ago so I haven't been able to type up and post fics, transcripts or character facts. Add to that I am moving at the end of the month and you'll understand.

Thing is I'm moving to the town where I set a chunk of my Supernatural fic "In Spite of All the Danger"! http://archiveofourown.org/works/160229/chapters/230900

Thanks for being patient and I hope to get typing once settled in

I started it a few weeks back but keep drifting back to it.

It's another White Collar crossover tying into the series finale. I mean, I had to regarding how it ended, right? If anyone cares to read the little bit I have done, let me know

I can't believe I haven't done any writing on my fic in 2 days! Last night's finale also planted a couple ideas in my head for further stories to tie in with my series. I might have to poll the audience on which direction to go. Next week on my days off I'll be painting my room. Moving the furniture is gonna be so much fun.

I can't believe I haven't posted in nearly a month! The holidays were quiet. Two sisters came for a visit last week and we had a great time, even taking in a shopping excursion my one day off while they were here.

Because of the above, I really have neglected working on my transcript for "Time of the Doctor" for which I apologize. As with anything, some days you can get so involved with your project, you don't realize and other days, it's a struggle. I try to get at least a scene done. Sometimes, I might set a time to get through. I haven't forgotten, I swear.

In other neglected projects is my Merlin fic. I kinda/sorta have it plotted out for the remainder but it's just making myself get the words down. That's why I haven't been posting that fic. Maybe I *need* to re-watch.

What has been taking my time is my Psych/White Collar crossover. I'm trying to work it like they do on TV: the first part is basically Shawn & Gus in New York (which is mostly complete except for some tweaks) and the second part will move things out to sunny SB (which I've already started).

I should try to get back to the iTunes meme, bu I can't promise at the moment.

I was really going along great on that Merlin fic that's been sitting around for close to 2 years. I even plotted up the villain's comeuppance. Then I get a stupid crossover idea in my head. Shawn Spencer meets Neal Caffrey when they're both 18. He'll meet Peter later and then there will be a reunion as the White Collar crew meet the Santa Barbara Police Department.

Why? Why? Why?

A post that isn't a transcript!

Though, it is a bout one. :) I've just started "Hide" after spending a bigger chunk of the day helping my mom balance the checkbook. I hope to have it posted before Saturday.

Ran a few errands Thursday and picked up the new Michael Buble CD. Haven't listened fully yet, but I like what I've heard.

My writing is taking second place to the transcripts. I have my SPN fic out at the beta's and hope to hear back soon. As they're doing me a favor, I really don't want to keep emailing even though it's been some time. I was working on my Merlin fic and building up to the showdown when, during a re-read, I realized I never addressed a point that was the main point of it. So that's getting an overhaul, be it ever so slowly. If there's anyone around who wants to read it, drop a line.

And I've made the mistake of digging out my copies of Alias Smith and Jones which are now giving me ideas for the western Psych fic I plan to write. With those ideas floating about, Merlin might get delayed again.

I was just going through my flist and one of my fics got a shout-out on spnstoryfinders. dastiel wants stories like "Not Howling to the Nuthouse"! Ooohh, I'm so happy!!

What a match!!!! I had set the timer to record 3:30-8:30. It just finished. 6 hours of tennis, the longest Grand Slam final match ever.

OK, other things. I apologize for no real postings. I am on the Dukan Diet (like coquillagement and I've lost between 10-15 pounds (switched scales after a week so I can't give an exact) and I fit into size 16 pants the other day for the first time in years! I still get the chocolate cravings, especially when seeing commercials on tv for Hershey's or Reese's.

I've alos fallen off the transcript wagon. I promise to get back on soon. I've been working on fics instead. My Doctor Who/Psych crossover still needs a title. I've been posting it over on Psychfic.com (under DTS) and I've reached over 2300 reads!!

I'm also working on a Merlin fic that could use a beta if anyone wants to give it a look. The same with my latest Supernatural story.
