It's 12:20. I have a paper due tomorrow that I'm not done with. (I actually have three papers due tomorrow, two of which I *am* done with, so yay?) I cannot motivate myself; I don't care and psychoanalytic film theory makes me want to stab my own eyes out. (My paper is not actually about psychoanalytic film theory, but the readings for tomorrow ( Read more... )

All I want to do is write fanfic. The only time I feel motivated to write fanfic is when I have something else EXTREMELY PRESSING that I should be doing/should have done days ago.

oh, but I totally know the feeling. Sympathies, and good luck getting everything done.

Thanks! It's done; I'm not vouching for quality and I didn't really sleep, but it's done. \o/

I am sending much luck and sanity your way. You will rock your paper. I know it.

Thanks, sweetie. It's finished at least!

AUGH GOD. I have a midterm due tomorrow and that I haven't even started yet. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

And all I want out of life right now is to go out and order a McGangbang.

Watch Kings!

Good luck with your midterm as well!

Right? I wouldn't eat that monstrosity (I don't eat red meat anyway) but, just to see if they know what it is and if they would make it.

I will watch Kings tonight!

I SO feel this. I think when your brain is active, it remembers the things it wants to be active about, so we get the ficcing urge. Then when there's no longer any pressure it goes away again. Why isn't there a career in ficcing? Or an academic course where you have to write fic? Why?

If I had an academic course where I had to write fic, I don't think I would want to then either because I don't generally want to do things I am obligated to do even if they are things I otherwise enjoy. This is because I like to sabotage myself, I guess.

niennah March 19 2009, 16:05:08 UTC

lol, good point! How we sabotage ourselves indeed.

I did this thing when I was doing my masters where I would say to myself that when I got to a certain wordcount or whatever, then I could write fic. It actually motivated me to do both! Sweet. Didn't get much sleep, but hey, I was productive!

redbrickrose March 19 2009, 16:30:23 UTC

I already don't get much sleep and I'm not productive. Maybe I'll try that. *g*
