I shall not commit violence... (it is not a healthy coping mechanism.)

Ohmygod, I don't even...

GAH!!!!!

So, real life FINALLY stops being demanding and busy long enough for me to maybe get some writing done, and what happens?

I stare at a blank document for three. freaking. hours. No joke. I'm going to go insane. I have all these ideas but I can't make them work and it's driving me utterly batty. Well, honestly, it ( Read more... )

Oh goodness lovely, you aren't the only one that feels like that! (See most recent whiny comment on my journal). Sometimes no matter how good the ideas are, it takes a while for the rest of it to link up and work. Especially if you're pushing yourself and if you're very good at judging your own work and finding it lacking. But your stuff is not! And your ideas are great, so just get them down. I know I can get a thousand words into an idea and then my mojo is just... gone, but that happens too and sometimes you do just have to write a little stupid something- even if you never post it- before you getting another flash of inspiration and BAM! everything is good!

So don't worry about it too much. If you want someone to bounce some ideas off, just poke me, honestly! And do get some rest. Hopefully things will flow better in the morning. Or you'll have amazing dreams*! Or both!

Thank you bunches for the awesome compliment (even if I can't quite convince myself of it, it's really great to know that someone else thinks so!) as well as for the empathy! As terrible as it is, it's nice to know that I'm not alone! (And now I feel horrible because I don't want anyone else to be this frustrated, it really sucks ( ... )

Oh I certainly know how you feel about that- bellacatbee" and I write a huge amount of stuff that we start and get a long way into and then just don't finish. Or that we leave for 3 months and then come back to and change completely. I've got a couple of AUs in my head and started little fics for them but not done much else which is really really bad of me. But that's just how writing is!

And I'd love to hear your ideas! Don't hesitate if you want to send something over- I'm online far more than I should be too. There never is enough Sabriel smut for my tastes though. Although I'm not often on later into the night- I get up stupidly early instead! Which I guess is just as bad?

* You know you can lovely! But do wake up because I expect you to tell me alllllll about it. Especially the porny bits :p but feel free to enjoy my addiction to Americana. Did I meantio it was all set in the 50's? Yum!

Sweet, you will probably be hearing from me in the next few days! (I gave up on writing for the night when my head started pounding and my head!Gabriel declared that he was done waiting on me and took my head!Sam off for fun sexytimes where I wouldn't be able to see (Oh, god, I need sleep ( ... )
