Yes, I have lost my marbles

I signed up for heroinebigbang. Mini-bang, to be precise. "Only" 5000 words. Except the longest thing I've written since I started writing again a few months ago is at about 2300 words. And I chose to write in a fandom that I haven't written for yet. I wasn't going to do it, but then I got this idea, and...
How much have I written, you ask? Mostly I've jotted down ideas and written out some dialogue.
I have the rest of the day off, and my son is currently napping (as in actually asleep, not just 'resting'). Am I writing? No, I am wasting time on Facebook, LJ, and putting games on my new Kindle Fire.
Now that I've called myself on this procrastinating behavior, will I start writing? No. I am going to take a nap.

Yay! I'm doing that bang, too!! And LOL, I know the feeling about having time to write but just whiling it away on social networks... You should get a twitter account, then you could waste even more time with us!!

That sounds like fun. I have a Twitter account that I never use. I should dust it off and try it out. :)

Yes, yes you should. We are lots of horrifying fun... My handle is goddessofbirth. It's a locked account, so when you click 'follow' it will send me a request I'll need to approve before you can see my feed.

Thanks. The request should be sent :)

Uh? Do you think you might have a twin that you never knew about? Although I was too wrapped up in my first fic ever to participate in challenges. Nap sounds good. Thanks for reading my story.

Hello!
I am happy to report that I actually did a little writing the other night. I am currently writing in snippets, so hopefully I can bring it all together to form a coherent story.
I am enjoying your story a lot. I have my fingers crossed for a happy ending :)
Also, if you are still looking for a beta, I would be willing to help out. I've never done it before, but I have a good eye for grammar and spelling.
*checking reply to make sure I haven't made any horrendous mistakes that will negate that last sentence*

So weird. I was just on your journal poking around and wondering if my iPad was glitching out with no recent entries posted. Good to know your working behind the scenes. I'm going "commando" with my first fic so I don't lose momentum or chicken out. But I'm having so much fun, I plan to keep writing and then I'll start using betas. The collaboration will be fun! Thanks for reading and checking in.

Yeah, you probably already noticed that I haven't written anything for Firefly yet. :)
