boring post

Apr 20, 2007 19:32

I am bored and utterly unmotivated.

There are plenty of things I could be doing.

I would make a list except I know I'm a rebel, and lists -- even those made by me! -- invoke rebellion.

And I should write, but I secretly don't wanna. I don't think I've ever reached the end of a story before and not been thrilled that it was done. *clings to

writing, ennui

Is the AU finished...? I can see where it might be sad to let it go. There's always epilogues! And sequels. ;)

And it's an odd time for a lot of people, it seems. *sends hugs*

It's not done yet. I'm procrastinating writing the last chapter. *sigh*

It is an odd time lately. *hugs back*

Wow, I know it's bad when you rebel against making lists! But yay for rebellion, at least you're not giving in to the mundane. Forget what you "should" do and do what you *want* to do for a while. Everybody needs a breather now and then.

I totally understand the feeling of not wanting to finish a fic. When it's one you're attached to, one that has a lot of parts and you've given so many hours of your life to it, ending it leaves an empty space. Maybe you could do what I did with "Deeper," you can end it where it needs to end, but not in a way that cuts off all possibilities of more chapters later. I don't know if that fits with the ending you had planned, but it's a way to ease the sense of loss. "Vieux Carre" is fabulous, and I'd be happy if it could just go on forever. ♥

Oops, I just repeated halfdutch's advice! Guess that just goes to show that nobody really wants it to end. :)

What're you trying to say there, missy? ;) I definitely have a love-hate relationship with lists. But I did all the "should"s tonight, including laundry, so I have the whole weekend to do nothing and/or write. And I need to write!

I'm having problems with my motivation as well lately.

If it's the story I'm thinking about..I'M CLINGING TO..you know if I could I'd marry that story, it's that perfect.

You're a dear for saying such kind things.

In a way I even feel as if I should discourage you from writing, because I don't want it to end either. *sighs*

You have to do it like with "Gone with the wind", where everyone re-reads and re-reads the first one, and then, when you can't stand it anymore and want to milk us some more, you'll write a sequel with lots and lots of sex and rain and drama :)

*hugs*
But seriously, thanks a lot for that AU ;)

Oh, you say the sweetest things.

I hear it's your birthday. I hope it was a happy one!
