good things and bad things

[johnnypurple]

Last night, David Tennant, Tim Roth and Gary Oldman were in my dream. David was playing Hamlet, and Tim and Gary were Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (YOU SEE, IT ALL MAKES SENSE!). They were youngish - all about the same age (30-ish?). And Tim was sitting in David's lap!! There were other people there, including my ex-gf. Fuck off ex-gf, I'm gonna

You have a very cool dream!! *is jealous* And thanks for the lovely pics :)

The writer thing - yup, I empathise. Apart from lately, I've just realised...I love writing fanfic, I can't stop. It's a thing I have to do...err, not sure why I'm saying this. But, anyway, you're a fabby writer, whatever you write.

Anyway, I really wanted to say sorry for being crap at commenting on your LJ in recent months. To be honest, I've not been checking my f-list - especially in the morning which is when I see your entries - because of work. Will do my best to be better!!

I know what you mean by 'can't stop'. I could stop writing fanfic if I tried, but I can't stop writing. I have to do something or my brain gets itchy and wrong.

[cenea]

Definitely! I can't stop writing...ever. I get sad and twitchy if I don't write at least *something* every day. And I've decided to relax about the fanfic thing. I love it too much not to :)

*sorry for spamming JPs journal having not been around for ages*

[wolfy_writing]

I know. It's worryingly addictive. I saw part of this Japanese horror movie once (no subtitles, so I was a bit confused) where people were cursed to be unable to stop writing. One of them got put in a mental institution and cut his fingers and started writing in blood.

I did a story about an aspiring writer with a problem like that (she was seduced by a muse; in the story, muses are more destructive than they're generally portrayed as), but it got eaten in a computer crash. Not so bad. It was depressing anyway.

Some days I'm just too damn tired from work to write - I wish I could write every day, that would be excellent. But the combination of late nights and early starts (I mean 5AM zomg what fun!) means extra tiredness after 8+ hours on my feet (excuses excuses!)

And I know these are excuses because somehow I force myself to write at least 6 out of 7 days during Nano, so I know I can do it. *head-desk*

I see fanfic as good practice. And if it's fun, then why not?! :D

ps. Spam away! I don't mind! :)

"Some days I'm just too damn tired from work to write" - I can totally empathise with that. I can't really write in the evening, and if I had your schedule, I would only be writing at weekends, if at all - I don't think that's an excuse at all, it's a fact of life :( Because I work from home a lot, I snatch time during the day, although it's been hard lately...I guess it's one of the reasons I've cut down on LJ. It was that or writing, but then I wish I could do both :(

"I see fanfic as good practice. And if it's fun, then why not?!" - exactly :D

[johnnypurple]

Yeah, but I could go to bed earlier the night before and I only work 4 days. *sigh* I'll get back into it. I'll get a kick up the arse one of these days. Or I could cut down on LJ. Yeah, um, right! ;)

[johnnypurple]

Heya! It's nice to see you again! :D

And no worries, these things happen. I guessed you were busy and had disowned me due to my lack of interest in Take That! ;P

you're a fabby writer, whatever you write. awwww, thank you! *hugs*

[cenea]

"and had disowned me due to my lack of interest in Take That! ;P" - aw, no, please don't think that! it's more i have a paranoia with boring people with my obsessions. I, err, do like to get a bit obsessed, and really hate to bombard people! I just haven't really been using LJ lately as an LJ, I guess :(

[johnnypurple]

Nah! Everyone has different interests and I don't expect everyone to comment on every single one of my posts about such varied crazy topics! And if there was someone (well, perhaps apart from Nix) then I'd be worried I had a double out there or something! Sometimes interests overlap and sometimes they don't.

And you are good with lj-cuts and all that. Not boring at all. And you wouldn't be you if you weren't obsessive over things! ;)

I don't know if it's the old TGS crew drifting apart or me being out of the loop at the moment. It's a bit sad, but I guess these things happen. *wistful sigh*

Maybe I should make a post about this instead of telling people individually. But I thought you might like to know - I've been texting and snail-mailing with Doodle lately and she seems to be going really well at the moment. :D

[cenea]

That's fab news about Doodle. EWT, Halo and I were thinking of her lately, and hoping she was okay :)

"I don't know if it's the old TGS crew drifting apart or me being out of the loop at the moment. It's a bit sad, but I guess these things happen. *wistful sigh*" - to be honest, I feel the same about it. I still want to be writing TGS but, you know, I was always a Richard girl, and there was such a negative feeling about Richard in the fandom a few months back. Every time I went there for it to cheer me up, I ended up a bit depressed. Fair enough, not everyone has to love RH and he's more than capable of being a pratt, but...not what I wanted to read about every day.

And TT made me happy, it was slashy and smiley, and they poledanced, snogged and wore leather collars...that was it, really :P Still love TG, though, and I really want to get back into the crack side of things...that was always the bestest with you guys :D

[johnnypurple]

You know, I've stopped watching the TGS community. I'm still a member and everything, but I was hardly reading the fic and scrolling past all the entries on my flist page seemed kinda pointless. So I didn't notice the bad feelings towards Hammond - that's not great and I can see why that would put you off

I know. I've had that vibe lately, which makes me a bit sad. Mostly I've been having a busy stretch, and I'm kind of worried everyone will be gone when I get to be around more regularly.

[johnnypurple]

I'll be here - don't worry about that! I'm not going anywhere. :D Well... unless I suddenly gain some self-discipline about writing - rather unlikely but you never know. ;)
