honest time

after i now posted nearly daily for two months, it feels strange not to post, and clutter your feed...
so here i am with some randomness that i was thinking about yesterday and today


  • i can't write fanfic of the pairing i just read - this mostly is true for h/d because i lose myself so much in the story i'm reading that when i get back to my story i lost sight of the points i wanted to make - and no, plotting does not help in that regard, because even staring at my notes did not bring me back the story i intended to write with this draft, i have to wait for it to come back to me, i know what now is in my mind is wrong *sigh*

  • today i have to sit down and write because gywo-challenge and i have not written a word of fanfiction/thesis yet
    - and for those of you who are interested and know: yes i do story writing rpgs, but i consider them 'away time' or 'free time', and so the time and words that go into them do not count (truthfully this might be for the better, as otherwise my rpgs alone would get my OUT of writing


  • i need to edit huge-ass podfic, but i'm so sick of my voice - i believe it's giving me a headache, mybe my voice is possessed by the damn?


  • i have nearly beaten my cold into submission! that is something right? can i get a gold star for that? *this cat wants a gold star so bad*


  • i also really want to change my lj-page layout... but i honestly have not the time for it, and i dont know into what i would like to change it- does that even compute?



now i feel better- like my mind is decluttered now that the most stupid observations are gone XD
have a great day !

*lol* HUGS!!!

I think podficcing might be just like writing, maybe sometimes you overload and need a step back before you're ready for more??

*showers you with gold stars*

I have the same issue when I read other people's fics. I find going back and reading over something of mine helps, because it's in the style I usually write in. :)

Good luck on GYWO!

I know what you mean about reading other H/D fics and then trying to reprise your own. I read one last night -- Five Weddings and a Potions Accident -- from hd_erised, and now I'm like, yeah, my fics are terrible.

Are you planning to write for hp_kinkfest?

Gold star!

"...when i get back to my story i lost sight of the points i wanted to make - and no, plotting does not help in that regard, because even staring at my notes did not bring me back the story i intended to write with this draft, i have to wait for it to come back to me..."

Ah, this has been happening to me so often the last year! Usually I get distracted by things other than reading, but the result is the same. Like I know how I want the story to progress (plot), but it's just not coming out in the way I want it to. I remember how beautiful it sounded in my head when I started, but I'm unable to produce them. It's so frustrating! I hope you can find a way to get your story to come back to you!
