So I definitely didn’t intend to start this kind of discussion, but it’s not a bad thing, if it needs to happen.

I still feel like a newbie, even though I’ve been here over a year, although that’s probably more just me. I’m not on the Discord, and probably won’t join because time zones and my weird availability mean I’ll basically never be on at the same time as anyone else.

I have been trying to write missions, but it’s not easy. I’m allowed less than an hour of writing-at-computer time, and I’m trying to write two regularly-updating fanfics, an original work and an endless collection of drabbles and one-shots as well as missions. I do post on AO3, but it can be painful and take up a lot of time to transfer a mission from my Word doc to AO3. Plus my PPC works appear in one obscure fandom which very few people will see and one that’s so big works are wiped off the front page before anyone sees them.

Not to mention, I actually find writing missions fairly tricky. My first one came fairly easily, but after that it was much more of a struggle. It feels kind of repetitive since all missions have more or less the same plot, and when there’s so many other things I need to write which have deadlines it’s very often the PPC that slips.

I’m not giving up, though, and I’ll try to get this next mission up by the end of the year, although I doubt it will help the PPC much overall.
