Open letter to self

Dear Self,

Seriously, if you're going to write today, write your BigBang. Do NOT go and poke at ohsam and sharp_teeth for prompts.

*sigh*

No love,

Me

Send this letter to me, too, only switch ohsam and sharp_teeth with the Gabriel Kink Meme that has taken over my life, and tack on that I also need to work on help_haiti and pledge_a_thon stuff. *epic headdesk*

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Yes! Do as I say, not as I do, and go work on your writing commitments!

But...but...so many good prompts... (Three of which I have bookmarked, one of which I'm already over 1000 words into.) *FACEPALM*

EVIL!!!

Oh, I know. Trust me, I feel your pain.

The worst part is that about half the prompts I want are all by pkwench. I swear, it's like she has sole access to the big red button that says "GO WRITE NOW, DAPHNE. RIGHT THIS MINUTE!"

I need to not look at the memes anymore, but they're so awesome!

*tries to resist*

Huh. LJ ate my reply.

Anyway, I was waxing eloquent about how I feel your pain, because there are so many awesome prompts. The worst for me is that about half of the ones I want were all prompted by pkwench, who appears to have sole access to that big red button that says "GO WRITE NOW, DAPHNE! RIGHT THIS MINUTE!"

Sheesh.

*glares at BigBang text*

I know! I keep finding these prompts that are like "OH MY GOD MORGAN, THAT IS FOR YOU, RIGHT NOW!". And when I'm not staring at the ones I want to write, I'm reading the awesome responses from other people. GAH!

*pets abandoned bigbang*

Oh, yeah. I didn't even bother mentioning the giant maelstrom of time-suck that is reading all the other awesome fiction that's coming out of the memes.

I'm never going to get anything else done at this rate. :P

You see, I'm torn on this issue. Part of me wants to say, now, Daphne, you BigBang will be a thing of glory and you should work on it. However, the other part of me is a little more wicked and would like to remind you that you write at the speed of light and one or two more days writing comment fic won't set you back hardly at all. Plus, well, when the prompts in quesiton are mine I feel ever so pleased! :p

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Your prompts are far too awesome to pass up. Jesus, woman, it's like to have a direct inroad into what makes my brain go "WRITE! WRITE! GO DO IT NOW!"

How the hell do you do it?

I still have a couple of months to write my BigBang, right? ;)

I'm a career daydreamer - ideas just happen. LOL And since I can't use but a fraction of them, prompting serves me well. I swear, I'm convinced that when I'm out of school and the show's over that I won't have any more ideas.
