Go, me!

I just submitted my fic for spn_summergen. Mind you, it's not due til July 31st---I *am* the over-achiever the mod mentions in her latest post---which is quite possibly the first time in my LIFE I've ever been called that. (It surprises me, too.)

I was lucky: One of the prompts jumped out at me, ideas came together, and I started writing within an hour of the time I got the assignment. I had my first draft finished in a little over 48 hours...tweaking and beta took another week and a half, but it's a solid piece.

Without giving too much away, the prompt I went with was flexable enough that I was able to bring my own interests and knowledge into it. Enjoying the topic made the process much easier. Sorry if I sound cryptic, but I don't want to be too specific about what genre it is, setting, time-frame, etc. Mum's the word.

Now I need to get focused on my presentation for next Sunday: Hoarding. Oh yeah, this is gonna be fun.

Over-achievers unite! I think it's great they let you turn it in early. I always finish challenge pieces early and then have an awful time fretting about them while they're still in my custody.

I found a great new website today called unclutterer.com

It in turn led to a piece by a Washington Post reporter about how he finally got organized after a lifetime of hoarding:

(The photo slideshow makes his home look not as bad as he describes, probably because his wife was willing to work as hard cleaning up as he did cluttering.)

You gonna post that hoarding thing? That could probably prove useful to some of us. *g*

Right now I'm trying to master PowerPoint enough to do the presentation itself. Dunno if I'll post that, but probably the gist plus some of the links I've come across.
