subject line not forthcoming

I am sitting here, looking at a few unexpected Etsy/eBay orders. I've had a strange flurry of emails from customers in the last few days--everybody wants multiple things or something I used to sell or some other festive variation. Nice, even though it's a teensy bit annoying. But I probably shouldn't complain about getting business.

I am feeling a little grumpy. Just a little. I'm kind of in between fic right now, and I really need to finish a birthday present fic I started writing a while ago. I like writing, and I can't wait to write this, and I'm actually a happier person while I'm writing. And once I'm done with this, my "slate" will be clean. I might have to start something original. We'll see.

Grumpy, though. Just a little. I don't know if it's because I'm not writing something this very minute or whatever. Or because winter is coming.

Strangely, I can't stop thinking about Wavedancer. I thought that blathering about it would get it out of my system. Somehow it keeps sneaking up on the edge of my consciousness, insisting that there is still a viable story in there somewhere.

Right now I have that panicked feeling of What Should I Be Doing Right Now. That's the sucky part about having your own business, even one as small as mine; there are a million things on the to-do list, but it's hard to isolate which one I should be working on for the next hour. I will just have to guess, as always.

Am watching Simon & Simon. Rick is dressed a little like Indiana Jones. Leather jacket and hat. Strange.

Not creating makes use grumpy. :(

I really need to get that fic going. I think I'll feel better while I'm writing it. Plus it's WAY overdue. WAY. hee!

I know. The making decisions and setting priorities can be the hardest part, in particular when you're feeling creative and want to write and there isn't enough time.

*hugs*

You *so* get what I'm saying, I know it. I've gotten to the point where if I don't feel I've "done" enough for my business that day I get kind of upset. Even though I've already worked at my day job for 8 hours. lol!

Oh, I can so relate to that, even without a business of my own. *pets*

Aw, thanks. :) Sometimes it's worse than others. Last night I was just sitting there racking my brain for what I should do, but I couldn't come up with anything I *wanted* to do, lol.

So I read more X-files fanfic. of course. ha!

I'm so afraid of this very thing come December. This month is of course complete chaos with fics due, freelance job craziness and the like, but when it's all done and after I have that moment to breathe with relief, the panic of What Next will set in...sooo not looking forward to that...even though I can't wait for that breathing-with-relief thing...

This is where I'll tell you to WRITE STUFF! And I'm a big fan of the Original Fic idea...in fact, I have some ideas for you...heehee!

What Next is the worst kind of panic! I shake in my boots at the very thought. And I'm the worst kind of procrastinator, too, so What Next often takes a century or two to develop. ugh.

And I will definitely be writing! hells yes! I have what I hope is a great idea for the Original Fic. *nodnod*
