I have too many things I want to write and nowhere near enough free time to write them in.
I need to finish Lives are for Living - only another 7 parts, but still that's about 20k going by the last few parts.
The other half of a Reset AU.
I've got a Primeval fic that's been 3/4 finished for ages that I need to finish and post.
I'm getting plot bunnies for yet another fandom - Rivers of London.
I'm also signed up for a fic exchange and a big bang over the summer.
And I want to write my original fic, the urban fantasy one about werewolves in and around Bradford. I think it's tied in with all the redevelopment in the city centre, the whole tunnels project thing that got the brain going. It also helps that I've finally worked out the secondary character who I was never really that happy with before - Mr cute and slightly snarky with a motorbike, was pretty much all there was to him and MC might as well have been having conversations with a talking action figure. He's now Mr debonaire (in all contrast with his upbringing) with a poorly concealed chip on his shoulder, restores classic bikes and really isn't all he seems to be.
I really really want to start writing, but know that if I do I'll get so side tracked I won't end up writing the other stuff or I will still write it but it'll be because I feel like I have too rather than because I want to, and I don't want writing to be like that.
I just need a couple of weeks where I can just write - however that isn't going to happen. With little one starting school in September I need to start saving all my holidays from work to cover the school ones for later in the year. Having a couple of weeks to myself, or honestly even a weekend, is something that's not going to happen for years and years to come.
