Open letter to self, redux

Dear Self,

Please to be concentrating on writing your BigBang. I understand that 5.16 was traumatic and that you're upset because you have to go to work tonight instead of watching the latest episode of Supernatural. I get it, I do.

But you are less than HALFWAY through your BigBang, you have exactly three weeks left, and you're stuck on a plot point. So WORK ON THAT.

This is not the time to thinking about a new story called "Flagstaff" in which you go about exploring what happened just before and during those two weeks Sam apparently ran away from home. Just, just NO.

It is a BAD PLAN, self.

No love,

Me

I would say bad, but I like the idea.

Also? I have already succumbed to the temptation to write a fic "fixing" what happened in the episode with the amulet an such. And it'll be gen. Because I don't have enough to write. (Three current stories & 6 more waiting in the wings.)

This is why it makes perfect sense for me to write a 15k gen fic about young Sam 'n Dean showing up in the motel room and being upset about the amulet and it being the key to getting them back to their own time.
