Why bother?

[crashgirl82]

Regarding Nathan/Peter: I opened Microsoft Word and typed 10 sentences. Then I switched over to another webpage and abandoned it.

Why is it like this now? Why can't I just fucking sit and do this? Do I have Petrellicest ADD or something?

It's killing me. I fail at Nathan/Peter.

I know you're used to doing your writing on the computer, but I find that pen/paper is a better creativity conduit. Is there some nice place you can go with a notebook and just do some nathan/peter free association writing around your main concept and see what your subconscious kicks up?

Just a suggestion. (I take my notebook to the Mint and do most of my best writing there, amid the crowds and noise.)

Actually, that last Nathan/Peter I wrote, "Shot for Shot", I sat down with a few sheets of computer paper and my fine-tipped Sharpie marker and wrote almost the whole thing sitting at my kitchen table. I did the ending on the computer though. Funny thing is, the part I wrote on the paper stayed almost verbatim in the finished fic. So I know pen and paper do help. I also wrote a future!Peter/future!Claire in a notebook before I posted it.

I had to force that writer's block away when I did those fics for the heroes_exchange, but now it's back full throttle.

Right now the sequel to "Courtroom Drama" is just a bunch of Nathan/Peter dialogue in my head, and a scene with Nathan and Peter at the kitchen table. I am just too afraid of my suckiness to try at this point. Yuck.

will you kill me for those wise words....one who falls to the ground rises by pushing himself up the ground...ducks for cover.
So we had elections this weekend and I do wonder how the world will handle a gay Foreign Minister (evil snikker)...if the current top candidate for the job will make it.
I have to wait 24 hours to see the heroes episode...must invent time travel now....

No, I won't kill you. Those are wise words.

You're absolutely right. I'm languishing in my Nathan/Peter sorrow. I need to stop the crap and just sit and do this.

Tonight's episode has me wanting to do a pairing that's unheard of!

Well there are always more explanations for not wanting to write, other than the actual PAIRING. I love Peter/Sylar but, aside from the bigboom fic, I'm only written one Petlar one-shot this year. I just haven't been writing a lot lately.

Chin up and just wait for inspiration to come back. Don't try to force it just because you feel obligated to add more Petrellcest to the world. If the boys really have something to say, it'll get written :D

I'm working on that fic still: it's slow going, and I'm really not impressed by what I have so far. I have a million ideas for fics but no inspiration. Rrr.

But you're right. If the boys want to play, they'll play. :)
