You guys are being awesome. Everything seems really optimistic as far as writing this round. It's great to see.

Ugh! I wrote nothing the last hour. D:

Have to drive my daughter back to her school pretty soon... seeing if I can jot down an outline before I have to miss a couple hours. If nothing else, this is really helping me feel less isolated and bogged down with writing, it's nice to be reminded that there are other people who also are hounded by fictional characters who want them to write something.

You'll rally! Your muse is probably just up to something and wants it to be a surprise. ;-)

Yes, exactly! This is like manna.

[isilfic.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha. I sure hope so. Thanks for the encouragement!

Hmm. Sometimes what helps me is to do a stream-of-consciousness exercise where I'm just writing and not caring about what comes out as long as words are on a page. It doesn't advance the fic, but it does get words flowing again, which makes going back to the fic easier.

Also, sometimes your muse just needs a break. She'll be back!

:D Maybe I should go back to the porn fest... I worked on that last night to get the juices flowing and finished two fics. lol

I'm banging my head against the wall on my bigbang AND I'm stressed about the deadline.

But, another porn ficlet should work to get into the swing of things again. THANKS!

Not very many new words, but I did get some needed organizing done. Any progress is good!

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Seconded. : )

[isilfic.livejournal.com]

Yes, any progress is good. Congrats on the organizing!

Glad everyone's making progress. I wrote another ficlet. (I don't suppose anyone will know what I'm on about, but Kenny, Press Gang, and wrong numbers = much fun.)

Keep up the good work. I am off to bed, as we are about to lose an hour tonight!

[isilfic.livejournal.com]

Yay for your ficlet!

Thanks for the encouragement. G'night!

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Damn, I'm never going to catch you up on 50ficlets, am I?

(On the positive side, new Kenny-fic!)

Great to see you over here, though. : ) Sleep well!

'it's nice to be reminded that there are other people who also are hounded by fictional characters who want them to write something.'

Perzackly. Here I already have a sci-fi book to analyze and a help_haiti crossover to finish, and I'm suddenly attacked by a 1770s AU MFU plot bunny called "Hercules Mulligan, Spymaster"! (I'm not even kidding! St Crispins put it up for adoption a while back, but I didn't think I'd be doing anything with it because I know zilch about Russia under Catherine the Great - then I randomly think of combining it with this other AU idea I had and suddenly I've got a complete cast including a Cajun version of Napoleon Solo clamoring for my attention! And, of course, no plot. *eyeroll*)

(No, I am not going to work on it this fic_rush. I'm going back to work on my application essay. *glares at Hercules Mulligan and co.*)

[curuchamion.livejournal.com]

I'm actually off to computer class now. Hopefully with a little spare time to work on my essay, and without any distractions from the aforementioned Hercules Mulligan!

(If y'all are curious... apparently he's a historical person, a spymaster for George Washington who was also a "plain simple tailor". No, I haven't seen DS9.)
