No new works, the crises begin.
I have trapped myself in a neurotic cycle! I wrote a new G/E story, but then I decided it is not good enough to post. Only, now my brain believes that if I put in so much effort to write something I dislike, then any future effort I make might also result in something I dislike, and what is the point? So I keep poking at the stupid story, hoping to turn it postable. (I feel like getting it out there would exorcise its dark spirit.)
Meanwhile, in fandom, everyone is excited about the Reverse Summer Bang, a fandom event where artists and writers collaborate. But I can't get excited about it, because the minimum word count is 5k, and the writing time (from getting a prompt to publishing) is just over two months. That seems really tricky. (I feel like writing time scales crazily with fic length. I could do 1k in two days, 2k in a week, 3k in two weeks, 4k in a month... so 5k, which I have rarely written as a one-shot, might shoot me over two months.)
