Oh, Hello LJ
I've been lucky enough to have LiveJournal work for the majority of the last few days, minus a few hours yesterday while I indulged in some very guilty movie pleasure yesterday. I'm usually ok during work hours, although the volume of posting is down because no one else can get on LiveJournal it appears, so the fun is rather taken out of it. However, I do entreat people to not be mad at LiveJournal or their Support Staff. They are doing their best and, having done a small amount of IT work myself, I now how frustrating and annoying it can be to not only have to deal with the technical issues themselves, but also the people barking at you to get it done. So, please, be nice to LiveJournal. I highly doubt that they are doing all of this on purpose just to screw around with you and, speaking as a person who pays for their account, I'm willing to wait.
Of course, I bet if I couldn't get the newsletter out today because of LJ problems I might be screaming at it anyway, although never at the people.
Basically, deal with it.
It's all rather sad that this downtown fell just after I had posted another (imo) awesome gif storytime. It wasn't so much the gifs that were amazing (actually, they were rather amusing), but the hint that I was working on a new project. I'd like to have a teaser of it out today, posted on my fic journal (and perhaps x-posted here as well, still haven't figured this all out), and, needless to say, I'm very excited about it. So much so, in fact, that its' hard for me to concentrate on anything but my new fic project. ;) I have this almost overbearing need to start planning it out to the very smallest detail, which I've done with a few fics, except those never get written. I plan it out, I obsess over it in my head, and then...nothing. I do have a few notes, a couple of chapter titles I want to try out/use, and some scenes I can see clearer than the monitor in front of me, but the actual writing portion...I think I just need to start and let it evolve as I go. Happened with my last couple of fics, which turned out fine, so why not with this one?
In a way, this obsessive worrying, a main component in anxiety disorders, is what I'm trying to stop, at least to an extent. Some obsessive thinking can be good for ideas yet if you do nothing with those ideas, nothing gets written, and you're still stuck with pages full of ideas. I'm not going to let that happen here.
So, either way, I'll be posting the gist/snippet of my new project and, hopefully, you'll be as excited as I am about it. If only I had the energy to write this week...I've been so tired from work, lack of sleep, and one of my hard drives recently failed on me (my gaming drive, so, out of all of them, this one was the easiest to replace), and I might need to grab a new one. My warranty is pretty much gone on it and, even when trying to transfer files to my backup drive, it won't make it through. Really very annoying. Never buying another Seagate drive again.
I also may reinstall Windows 7 this weekend, or Thursday, because the registry changes with this sort of move could be annoying.
I also just need to write. *squee* Seriously, excited. I almost want to give a hint now but...I'll wait until a tad later...I think.
Is it bizarre to be excited about your own stories? I find it to be a new, yet invigorating experience. It's actually turned me into a sappy (soppy?) mess of goo, including said guilty movie watching last night and listening to the music obsessively. (Ok, I really need to start writing or I'll be stuck in this obsessive tilt for a very long time.)
'Till teaser time. ;)
P.S. - For once, the icon is not, technically, related. The song, however, is. Ten points for knowing my guilty pleasure movie.
