State of the writer

[taylorgibbs]

Hi *waves excitedly*

I am still alive and doing well :) My husband almost finalized the process of buying a house. Very exciting times on a personal level. I was also able to meet with some folks from the fandom back in Feb. when a group descended on DC. It was great to see old friends again and meet new ones in the flesh, some of whom (like Xanthe) I'd been reading for years and years.

I am still writing at a good clip, focusing on the commissioned/charity fics in the fandom. A very long one is my primary focus right now and I hope to have that finished in a month or less, but so much depends on other factors. I have several other commissioned stories in various stages, from brainstorming, to initial writing, to banging out plot ideas. I'm generally very excited about these stories and I'm so thankful for the wonderful prompts from the commissioners :) I'm going to try to avoid posting any of these as WIP, so I may go a bit quiet at times, but I am still (and always) around :)

Thanks for reading this post, and my stories :)

Thanks so much! My muse has actually been very active, even throughout weekends of house hunting and 7 (!!!) offers that we put in on places.

DC was such fun wasn't it, I really enjoyed the very long weekend and hope we can do it again sometime! Congrats on the house situation, I hope it all goes smoothly...I hate moving house but it is so nice once you get settled in a new place and are happy there!
Glad the writing is going well, I miss your stories when you're not posting but as least I know you are actually writing, it always means something to look forward to :)

Dc was absolutely brilliant :) I'm so glad the house situation is working out. I hate moving, but I hate the uncertainty of renting even more. I'm writing a minimum of 20,000 words a month, this one is just a monster ;)

New TG fic! *Snoopy happy dance* Can't wait! *is impatient*

Just...ya know, don't steal anything from anyone anymore, okay? *ducks and runs*

[taylorgibbs.livejournal.com]

LOL wouldn't dream of it ;)

[josgotglock.livejournal.com]

Good to know that real life is very satisfying. Congrats on the new house! Woot! Can't wait to read what you have been writing lately. *big hugs* ~ Jo

Thanks so much! This is a long one (my longest solo fic thus far) It currently stands at um...just under 120K ;) Its a Gibbs/Tony, Tony/OMC, Gibbs/Tony/OMC

*dances around happily*

It's good to get a ficage update.

Aww man, even Xanthe was there? Crap... Now I wish I hadn't messed my probation up so much. :(

[taylorgibbs.livejournal.com]

yep, Xanthe, tingreca, tinlizzie, Murgy, Starbucks Sue, The Lost City, only One Choice, the list goes on and on. So sorry you couldn't be there :(

[dietpunkfics.livejournal.com]

Its my own fault for fucking up on probation... three days after it ended I was in jail.

Im hoping there's a repeat, though.... I really really wanted to go, and the ex bf even offered up airline miles but I need permission to travel out of state, and that sooooo wasn't happening.

[taylorgibbs.livejournal.com]

Oh no :( I'm sorry :( *hugs* Hope things are better now! There will be a repeat, I'm sure!!!

[dietpunkfics.livejournal.com]

Oh, and was just wondering.... are you doing a help japan fic?

[taylorgibbs.livejournal.com]

no :( I would *love* to, but with as many commissioned projects as I have looming, there isn't any chance I'd get one done in the time constraints.

[dietpunkfics.livejournal.com]

Damn, there goes my evil plot to get you working on reconstructing tony again.

[taylorgibbs.livejournal.com]

I love to and I want to, but the commissioned projects have to come first.

[dietpunkfics.livejournal.com]

Understandable, but....

*pouts* Damn.

[dietpunkfics.livejournal.com]

hey, at least the weekend drama helped fire you up, right? lol

[xanthelj.livejournal.com]

YAY to the house! I am so excited about it and it's not even happening to me *g*. It was so great to meet up with you and all the other guys at the retreat - I had such a wonderful time!

[taylorgibbs.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! It was a hard fought one LOL! The situation just went on and on. It was GREAT finally meeting my fave West Wing author (me date myself?? LOL!)
