A friend and I tried to get tickets for the Darren Criss gig in London later this month and both times, we failed. :( I hadn't seen her for six months, though, and it was nice of her to think of me when she asked if I wanted to go. It's a shame we weren't able to do it, as I would have loved it and would have loved to have gone with her. Hopefully ( Read more... )

 So don't ask me what the hell's happened, but there's some shit going down in the Zootopia/Zootropolis fandom that's raised everyone's hackles and the centre of it seems to be a certain fancomic that addresses certain issues. Then, while going through the Tumblr tags, trying to piece it all together, I stumbled across a piece of very graphic ( Read more... )

What do I do when I haven't touched a fanfic for two years, it's two thirds done, but the thing holding it up is Chapter 5, because no matter how I shape it, it doesn't come out right? And yet the universe you've created is still firm in your heart and head and you can't let it go and you really want to write more but you can't until this story is ( Read more... )

I want to enter a short story competition, deadline of which is Friday and I'm keen to get it in tonight so I know it's done and out of the way and I won't keep fretting over it. I just keep going over it, changing bits and bobs so it doesn't feel natural and I'm worried I'll end up ruining the whole thing. There's just that 'something' feeling, ( Read more... )

Okay, what do you do when you have a particular idea for a fic's final act, if you will, and it's taking place in a real building that you have your heart absolutely set on, but you can't find a photo of a perfect venue for the scene to be carried out ( Read more... )

I think I could really use some help, guys.

( The only material I've written in the last year... )

I've actually done a bit of writing tonight. Woohoo, go me.

My brain seems to write better at night but I haven't been doing it for a number of reasons recently: other anxieties, work, just all-round sleeping badly and really too unhappy to write anything properly. Still, it's nice to get a breath of fresh air. :)

Right now, my writing skills still feel a bit rusty - or maybe I'm focusing too much on the wrong things. I'm not enjoying it very much at the moment. I brought this worry up with my Dad a few nights ago and he said, 'Well, you haven't been in the mood,' which I think is right. But I face the pointless task of keeping myself up all night to write ( Read more... )

Work has resumed on "Going Anywhere." I'm determined to finish the damn thing, but to be honest, I really wouldn't mind writing something new besides that. I don't think I'd realised it until now, but it actually feels a little weird, writing a story I started on the back of Series 1 and now really want to finish on the back of Series 2, when ( Read more... )

It would be quite nice if my parents could leave me to write a fanfiction in peace and quiet, with my headphones happily in, and not question what I'm writing when I just want to be left alone. I had a seriously emotional night last night, and I need to get it down on paper. I'm in need of some comfort, and would like all the RL problems to leave ( Read more... )
