When I Started: This began as an idea prompted by a Yuletide letter years ago. It lingered in the back of my mind until Yuletide this past year when I began to write it in earnest.
How I Lost My Shit: Once I started writing, I realized within a couple of weeks that it was going to be impossible to finish by the Yuletide deadline, so I reluctantly put it aside and focused on writing something entirely different for my recipient.
How I Finished My Shit: Once I signed up for this challenge, I knew that I could power through now that I had a deadline and the prospect of art. I'm so proud that I did it! And I love my art so much!

When I Started: I've been meaning to write a John Wick fic ever since the first movie came out, back in 2014. I did some research (ie rewatching the movie and making lots of notes) some time in 2015, but never actually wrote the thing.

How I Lost My Shit: I just didn't have a plot. I couldn't think of anything to write in that universe, no matter how much I wanted to.

How I Finished My Shit: I was thinking about what I wanted to do for WIP Big Bang 2018 and went back to the John Wick idea. I started thinking about where he could go after the end of the second movie, and it just came to me that he might know Black Widow and ask her for help. After that, it all just flowed swimmingly!
