Ow!

I just hit a massive wall. Don't know what I did, but suddenly there is no writing happening. Not fic writing, anyway. WTF, self? I barely got 500 words written yesterday. I think the 10,000-odd words on BigBang + 8,000-odd words of "Heaven Without You" broke me. Crap. I don't have time for this. The BigBang is not going to write itself, and I am WAY behind.

Crappity crap crap.

Three weeks left, and I'm only about 25% done. *cries*

[livejournal.com profile] ariadnes_string: I am still working on your malaria prompt. Consider it a late birthday present, 'kay? I have to re-work some bits, and it's not done yet, but it's coming along slowly. :)



Oh, hey, flist? Where do you get your really good SPN icons? I'm looking for a couple of specific-ish icons (Chuck and Gabriel icons, that is), but my Google-fu is failing abysmally. Help a girl out?

The thing about writing--about any creative endeavor--is that there are times when it just doesn't happen. Back in grad school, I started my dissertation about a week after I enrolled, but, during third year, I really didn't make any progress. I ran out of steam, I had a lot of external stress in my life (major health problem, wedding) but once that resolved, and I gave myself some time to recover emotionally, I was able to start working again pretty easily.

In other words, the work will come when it comes. And if you don't finish your BB on time, well, we don't know where you live, so we can't exactly hunt you down and kill you for it ; )

In still other words, this is supposed to be a hobby. If it ain't fun, you can back off.
