I wrote not one, but two fics this afternoon at work, well, they were more ficlets really, just a little something for the 7 Deadly Sins Challenge. I may do all 7 sins, but I've started off with Gluttony and Sloth. To all those who've requested fics, they shall be done, I've just had awful writer's block. This afternoon was the first time I've

Are you on metafandom at all? There are occasionally interesting posts on writing technique that come up sometimes. I've got a good few bookmarked in my memories section which I thought were really good and interesting. :D

And don't feel bad about your writing, everyone who ever goes at a blank page or a keyboard has an Inner Critic that comes along too. Try not to listen to them (I find mentally going LALALALA NOT LISTENING TO YOU works) and just writewritewrite 'til you've finished the thing or else they'll just sap all your enthusiasm. When you've got the bare bones written then she can come out and help with the editing. :P

Thanks for the link and useful tips. I'm, most definitely, my own worse critic.

Well, I think you're awesome, so I have no idea what planet you're on.

So many people on my LJ write fic at work. This amuses me. I thought I was the only one slacking off during paid hours. This is wonderful.

I've been really slack with fic, too, it must be the time for it. I've got 2 on the go, but damn....I just don't know what to do.

Thanks. At the moment I'm on planet; self-pity, self-loathing and self-doubt, it's a bad place to be, I gotta get out of it.

I seem to be able to write better at work then at home, it must be because it feels like I'm getting paid to write instead of my usual job :)

Writer's block sucks big time - I hope yours goes soon - I think you're a great writer.

I'm trying to write something with no sex, just angst. It's really strange. I don't want the boys to fight, but.....it's just an idea in my silly little head :)

You need to get off that planet, it's no good. Getting paid to write fic - what a dream come true :D

Angst is really good to write sometimes, if I feel off I always write angst. Angst done through converstaion, description and emotions is good stuff - I look forward to reading it.

I'd love to be a professional writer, one day I may just write a novel, who knows.

I'll be fine soon I'm sure, I'm just feeling a bit off at the moment, plus I'm on a healthy eating kick, the lack of sugar in my diet always makes me a bit down on life. I think I'll treat myself to a full-fat coke tomorrow.

Writing is a good thing indeed. I'm currently going through a horrendous block, though. >.

*sporkes your block*

It's horrible isn't it? I get it a lot lately.

Bally annoying is what it is. >.
