I WISH I COULD. D; The story is a post-apocalyptic wasteland style fic set about ten years in the future. Makes it kinda hard to create a character with normal interests - all of those are secondary to survival in the story. :/ (Why did I choose to make this so hard for myself whyyyy)
Hahahahah omg I've done that. SO CRAZY BUT SO FUN.
I might just have to give in and write some. I JUST FEAR WRITING SOKKA.
Haha, guilt usually drives me into action after a while. It's like my brain can't handle the guilt of being guilty or something and makes me do things about it. XD;;
ATLA FICS YAY! In fact, ANY FICS, YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!
You like to write in the middle of the night and I like to read LJ postings/fic and think of things to say and then doze off before I can say them :D
Never feel guilt for unfinished writing! At least, I never do :P The point is that it's there waiting for you and you never know when awesome inspiration will strike so don't rush it, yeah?
I've been writing fic like crazy this summer and while I'm super proud of myself, I can't help but want to do MORE, you know? It's nuts!
Haha, yay to self-induced sleep-deprivation! Except, you know, not so much.
But see, I feel guilty for focusing on fanfiction - fun, but non-publishable - when my original fiction, some of which I've had in progress since high school, languishes. sob.
Argh, I know how you feel. I've been having a particularly bad bout of writer's block lately, even though I really, really want to write my long-fic that's currently about half-plotted out because I can't settle on anything -_-
It's not so much writer's block as a painful inner debate over whether or not I can afford to lose that hour's worth the sleep in exchange for progress. :/
You're still having issues? If you want any help, lemme know, 'kay? I'm usually pretty decent at helping hash out plots.
I always want to write most just as its reaching an inappropriate hour too. I think there's something about the state your brain is in at that time that drives it to be more creative. /Took an intro to psych class and thinks she knows everything.
I also feel you about the original fiction vs. fan fiction dilemma. I feel like I should focus on the former, but there's so much more motivation to work on the later.
I wish I knew why, sob. At least I'm not alone! I think it's the stress and the time limit, personally - I've always done well under deadlines and seem to thrive under pressure. But what do I know? XD;
The latter is so less stressful. D: I mean, I love writing as a whole and I love coming up with new worlds but I always end up questioning whether or not I'm doing it right or whether it's good or...something. D:

Guilt usually makes me procrastinate longer. Go easy on yourself, it'll get done :)
