Supernatural ate my brain. No, really. It did.

I think I might be burned out proper from writing Supernatural fic. I've been trying to finish a ton of the WIPs I have for that show and I just can't get anything fixed properly. It's extremely annoying as it's like the words are in my head, but I can't get it out there making sense. It's overwhelmingly frustrating. Especially for my slave!fic

*hugs* I'm sorry you're having trouble at the moment. I think I'm struggling with Supernatural at the moment too, for a variety of reasons.

Though don't feel hopeless and useless, because you are absolutely not, maybe your brain just needs to rest for a while and recharge.

Or your brain could be focused on other, more pressing things :)

LOL yes, the pressing matters. Oddly, I seem more focused on writing. Needing the distraction, no doubt.

I think you're right. I've got to take a break and got to stop feeling like I must get something out there. I'm on my own schedule, not anyone elses. I think I've posted some stuff that I wasn't completely happy with. But that's okay. I need to stop being perfectionist too and not be so hard on myself.

Thanks hun *hugs*

I meant to answer this sooner and got distracted by the cleaning I need to do for my mom's upcoming visit, etc. I'm sorry you're feeling burnt out. Considering the amount of writing you've done for Supernatural, and in such a short time, I don't think it's entirely surprising. I'm sure it must be frustrating, but I think it's a sign that you need to take a break. I'm sure even a week or two would help. I know. I find it maddening too when there are stories to be written and the will isn't there. However, I've learned that my writing isn't as good when it's forced. Even if I do manage to get something out, I'll probably have to re-write the scene later.

Try not to dispair too much. The spark will return when your mental battery has been recharged.

I've given up hearing from that third writer about her other two betas. I'm going to go ahead with the update. I'll try to finish it either tonight or tomorrow.

*hugs* Thanks, darling. I needed to hear all of this. You're a gem. I think a break is the best plan. I have other fics, non-SPN, which may be better to look at. I've gotta stop putting myself under such pressure to get the fics perfect.

I have an idea for another RoS fic. Cos I've been watching the show again, Anthony is watching with me - his first time - and I am now feeling newly inspired. Who knows? Also, looking forward to the update. Thanks again :)
