Still Not Dead...

Dec 10, 2013 10:19

You may have noticed (ahem) that I haven't been writing. This is due to many things, all of which can be summed up as Real Life Has Eaten ratherastory's Brain ( Read more... )

ras has interests outside fandom!, writing is hard!, ratherastory explains it all

Good to know you're still around--hope everything is good for you!

Thank you! Things are great but crazy and hectic and more than a little overwhelming. Real Life basically just took over, leaving me with little time to properly devote to my previous fannish activities.

How have you been?

Spent Christmas in Nashville with one granddaughter, going to Germany in March for 2nd birthday of the other granddaughter!

Was losing hope in Supernatural until the midseason finale, now it has revived my fanning of it so fingers crossed it keeps going in the right direction.

Sounds like you haven't had time to watch it much anymore. Miss your stories :)

It's certainly next to impossible to write in that head space. I hope things inside and out do settle down for you in the coming year. You have a fabulous assortment of stories there. It's excellent that you're sorting through things now so that you can be ready to go as soon as inspiration returns, which it always does.

The inspiration is always there. It's the other 99% of the components of writing that I'm lacking (time, energy, focus, and a quiet place to sit down and write for a few hours). Alas. Here's hoping the New Year brings me everything I need. :)

Wow, I think we're pretty much the same person with same current life situation... except for the new job. Instead I'm expexting #2.

We should form a Help Group. *headdesk*

Congrats! Toddlers are exhausting, aren't they? No matter how much we adore them. :)

Good luck!

A Help Group sounds great, except who has time for it, am I right? ;)

Glad to see you back! :D

SPN prompt: Jody looks up. "Sam?"
"No. Sam is far away now."

Ooooh, creepy prompt. :)

That's a HUGE, but delightful, list of tastiness. I don't dare leave any prompts because I'd love to see you inspired to work on something you've already started, amongst the craziness that is real life. Wowsers ( ... )

Wouldn't it be great if you could combat some of the anxiety issues by just breathing out and losing yourself in writing, dwell on someone else's misery for a change?It would totally be great if it worked that way, yes. :P ( ... )
