A Ghost Story

Mar 23, 2011 03:04

Gacked from Sheafrotherdon on LJ because I'm avoiding editing my current insanity (An H50/Glee xover, for the curious. Yes, I went there. I blame Cccarioca, also on LJ.) because every time I do I start thinking "I'll edit just a bit!" and then I look up and the freaking sun is rising, and I feel like I got run over by a tank all the next day. I ( Read more... )

It's kind of cool that this meme caused you to write too! I really liked the Steve/Danny kissing one and the Gracie listening to the Dixie Chicks and the Long Way Down one - as well as the sad sad SPN one.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked them! :-D

I'm a pitiful person when it comes to music. Just about every song I hear could inspire a story if I let it. I'm usually trying to ignore the bunnies because when I let them run, sometimes I get drabbles and sometimes I get 200k words.

It's the 200k bunnies that really scare me. They eat brains.

I have that problem too - music makes me want to write. Also, it makes me want a music vid. I can't go through an album without at least one song saying, "Someone vid me!"

Today it was this for Dean/Cas - Never Been Any Reason

It's the 200k bunnies that really scare me. They eat brains.

Hahaha - All I can think about is the movie "Summer School" where the high school boys put on a pretend Rabid Bunny Attack at the petting zoo field trip, screaming "OMG The bunnies are eating my face!" lol

I wish I could vid! lol I haven't got the reflexes for it. That song is awesome for a vid, though, especially Dean/Cas.

And the bunnies don't eat my face, that would be too easy! They go after my brain and then suddenly I can't get anything done for days until I do their twitchy-nosed bidding and write the story. I've literally spent sixteen hours straight writing and put 29k words on the 'page' in one session broken only by quick trips to the bathroom and to get water, then slept six hours and did the same thing all over again because the story was screaming so loud in my head I just wanted to make it stop. lol

The most maddening part is that sometimes the bunnies, they forget to bring the ending to the party. :-P I have over 200k of Puckurt/Dean now languishing on my hard drive that I can't find the rest of, and it was only 2/3rds done. *grumbles about fickle bunnies* It's frustrating sometimes, but eventually I can find the rest of the story. Usually. Someday.

Of course, it was over a year before I finished my original novel ( ... )
