Borrowing Xan's Organisation Hat

athersgeoI'm feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment. Bunnies are running riot and yet I don't seem to be getting anything actually FINISHED (and by finished, I mean posted and off my hands). It doesn't help that the Francie bunny came back last week and is now bouncing about going "edit edit edit write me write me write me", which is, frankly, less than helpful.
In an effort to try and get SOME kind of perspective on everything currently on the boil, I'm going to list out my current WIPs in order of priority, and then I'm going to have a serious stab at getting them (or at least some of them) finished in the next ten weeks. (Why ten weeks? I go on vacation for a long weekend at the end of November, so that seems like a good break point.)
1) Finding A Friend
As this is a challenge fic for a challenge that ends on September 23rd, this definitely comes first. The good news is, I have it all planned; all I need to do is write it. (Hmm. That sounds like a common theme with my WIPs!)
2) Common Ground
For the same challenge, this one's a little less planned, but it's very much shorter than Finding a Friend. It's also set in Identiverse, so I really ought to know the characters well!
3) What it Takes
Part 1's written; part 2's about a third written and the rest's planned; part 3's a third written and the rest's planned; part 4's planned. I have SO got to just get on and write this.
4) "Untitled"
Tied in to part 2 of What it Takes is another short character vignette. It's currently title-less, but I know, more or less, what happens in it - so that's a plus!
5) Tomorrow's Promise
This just needs editing. It's all written and such, but there's not a great deal of point in doing the editing until 3 and 4 are sorted out since I'm not going to post it before either of them!
6) Mistletoe and Wine
Yes; it's back *grin* I'm not going to start reposting it until we get to December (*pause* Hmm; I may require a minion's help with that since I'm actually away for the first four days of December...but I can worry about that later), but before I can repost, I need to finish editing it, correcting the spelling (or at least standardising it - I think I've got three different spellings of Mimsie, for one thing!) and generally tidying it up. I also want to try and significantly add to it before I start the reposting process so that I've got at least SOME hope of being able to wrap it up before the end of December!
7) A Chinese Adventure
I'm two thirds done on the first draft. It WOULD be nice to get that finished before the end of the year!
8) Estranged
The third part of the first trilogy in the Buddy's Song universe. If I can get this finished and posted before I go on vacation, that'll be a bonus.
9) Gloria
Again; it's written, though it needs a fairly stringent edit.
10) End Game
Again; it's written, it mostly just needs editing and preping for posting. But that really, REALLY can't happen until item 8's finished off.
So; those are the main WIPs. Let's see how I do...
