Dammit. I wrote all weekend and still didn't manage to finish the WIP that seemed so achingly, deceptively close to being done. I mean, I wrote 9,000 words in 3 days and it's STILL NOT DONE??? Really, Brain? 32k isn't enough to get your point across? And it's just full of pining and misunderstandings and denial of stuff and it doesn't serve a ( Read more... )

stories from the far side, eyebrows of doom, fuck-a-doodle-doo, writing, shut up!, stop the world - i wanna get off, annoying bullshit, silly, existentialist angst, the mind is a terrible thing to taste, thinky stuff, you've got to be fucking joking, the state of the blythe, thanks for nothing, dangerous questions, woulda shoulda coulda, too smart for the semicolon, blurgleweegsnazzer, this is why we can't have nice things, woe is me!, wait...what?, profound or creepy?, oh come on!, depressing obsessions, pissed off, the blues, write something you miserable fuck, nutbars, procrastination

Duuurrrrr, I hate when the end keeps sliding further ahead. Like an oasis - you can see it, but it's always in the shimmering distance :-(

Sometimes I wish we could just plug something into our brain and suck that puppy right onto the page :-D

I think a brain hose might be a Catch-22 o_O I mean, we'd get that cool stuff out, but we'd also get the embarrassing stuff out without being vetted by the 'ORLY?' filter, ya know?

That 'ORLY?' filter has saved me a lot of facepalming over the years ;)

Ugh, ugh, ugh. This is so me right now. I really, really hope you get that story done soon and that you're happy with the finished product. Making things--whether it be through writing or drawing or whatever means--is such a painful, heartbreaking process.

Wah.

YES. THIS.

I won't get a chance to find out if I can live with this damned story until the weekend. Meanwhile, it's like a monster under the bed.... grrrrrr!

Hello, we are currently occupying the same brain space only in my case it's resorting in no writing AT ALL cos what's the point?

Yet... there is a point. If what you write entertains people and provides an oasis in the middle of a humdrum day then it's time well spent. Not every piece of art has to be transformative, no, really it doesn't in order to justify its existence and, frankly, my enjoyment of it and the enjoyment of others.

... but I'm still not writing.

Sharing the same headspace? THAT'S why it's so crowded in here...

I was just having a long, dark, tea time moment that day. I'm better now ;)
