Motivation: it's missing

[jelazakazone]

Jetlag can bite me. So can PMS. I think I have a cold too. /whine

I was very happy with what I managed to get done yesterday, although I didn't do any writing yesterday.  Today I'm struggling to stay awake.  I, um, cleaned up in the kitchen. Sort of.  I wrote 1.4K of remix and got stuck.  And I've eaten lunch. Go me!

I'm very tempted by this Merlin/

But it takes my mind off my life in general... and it's so pretty.

[jelazakazone]

Oh, in that case, as you were. Carry on:) ♥

(Also that picture prompt is gorgeous, indeed.)

I know! God. I wish I were better at pr0n. I'm awfully tempted to write something for it anyway.

I'm up for discussing Downton Abbey. I'm at the fourth (or I guess technically the 5th) episode of S3... I'm half-dreading the end because of this spoiler I accidentally came across. I'm going to finish watching the season out of curiosity. There have been good moments that made me smile, but there have been sad moments too. :(

Great picture prompt! I don't think I'll be able to do it justice...I hope someone else takes it up! That picture is *hot* :D

DA doesn't have enough about identity or destiny for my tastes. It's ok and I'll probably finish the season, but I might drop it before then.

Unf. Right? I wrote a story that *could* fit the picture prompt:)

[dk323]

S3 is breaking my heart at this point, so it might be best to let it go if you're not feeling the show. Yeah, there's not much destiny in the show (besides maybe Matthew and Mary destined to be together, but that's stretching it :p). I enjoy period shows like this where you see how they lived back then and the conflicts between those looking forward and who are more modern-thinking (like Matthew) versus Robert who's vainly clinging to the past way of doing things.

Awesome! That is a rather inspirational picture. My headspace -- at least the fic-writing side of it is pretty much only focused on my Paperlegends story. I'm trying my best to focus on that. I've posted three stories since December, so that's pretty good for me. I wonder how successful I'll be in not having the urge in writing a short fic during the months I'm working on my PL fic. :p Not too successful I imagine. ;)

[jelazakazone]

I should be focusing on PL. I've got to do my Camelot Remix first.

I have found that stories pop out when I'm working on other things. I just go with it!

[jelazakazone]

Oh ho! I think I know which picture you are talking about. It's one of Alby's, yes?

Oh man. You must be pretty overwhelmed at the moment! Yay for an outline, but boo for a sick kid. Those bugs are not being nice! It's good to be excited though.

[jelazakazone]

Oh. Well, then I have not yet seen it. Can't wait:)

Hey, that is excellent! I'm glad you only feel busy and not overwhelmed. I usually start to feel really stressed at the very end. I haven't moved in over 11 years now though, and hope to never have to move again:D

[jelazakazone]

I think decent amounts of sleep would help too. But you are not the first to suggest upbeat music today. Kids have violin lessons soon.

Meh. I am not sure DA really warrants discussion. It's kind of fun to be watching a show that people I see watch though.

[jelazakazone]

I think pms, my cold, and jetlag are working against me hard today.

I had not made the connection with music and mood. I should try it. I cannot do it now as violin lessons will be happening momentarily.

Aw. I can totally understand that. I'm the same way. Maybe that's why I'm not grabbed by DA the way other people seem to be.

DO YOU MEAN YOU'VE FORGOTTEN IT ALREADY??

Woe. Misery.

[jelazakazone]

Apparently I'm in some horrible fog. planejane has reminded me of the scene (I hadn't seen your sketch before though. I never would have forgotten that!).
