Can I please stop updating so much

[valis2]

I know, I've been spammy. It will cease on Saturday, though, because for a week I will be processing merchandise and I will not have the energy to do anything except check my email.

Anyway. I just wanted to share that I am caught up again on my flist! Huzzah.

Also, I am halfway through my absence from home. This is a melodramatic time for me, as I begin to imagine I am Macbeth, who finds that it's the same amount of effort to go back or go forward in his river of blood. Told you. Melodrama.

I can't believe how quickly time is flying!

I've finished rereading the giant fic. Sadly, I am now stuck in a sentence. It's official. If it weren't for those bastard Sticky Sentences, I'd get a lot more writing done, I think. No, really. They're horrible unfeeling bastards and they just sit there and laugh at me. I read them and think, "But I have no idea what could come next!" And that's it for months. STUCK.

And now I'm motivated to work on another story but NO I WANT TO FINISH THE BIG ONE NOW NOW NOW. I have a week left that has a teeny set of windows of free time and I want to write! So that when I get home it's finished and all I have to do is post it. Growly.

Also had a title for yet another story pop into my head. I would like to write it but the title implies that it's very very long and the actual story seems like a short story so I have to work on that dichotomy.

I am almost entirely recovered from the plague! I've given up the neti pot because I fear that too much liquid was getting into my ears. It was a bit uncomfortable. I will go back to it occasionally, but for now I'm giving things time to dry out.

If this isn't one of the most boring entries I've ever done, then I've lost my ability to judge truly boring things and that frightens me.

Would you like me to take a look? I'm a bit rubbish at writing/finishing my own fics, but I sometimes have luck helping with unsticking other people's.

Glad you're feeling better... :o)

ME TOO. This was one of the worst plagues I've had in ages! Thank you!

OH MY GOD WELCOME TO MY LIFE. I mean, it doesn't help that I'm one of those people who has to re-word and re-word and re-word and re-word, but seriously, I get stuck so often on those kinds of things.

I've known epic titles to be attached to very short fics before. =D

... Should I be laughing this hard? Because LMFAO.

You are absolutely the sweetest to offer! I really think, though, that I will get unstuck quickly on this one. In this case, the distractions, the plague, and a bunch of other things are sidelining me, and once I sit still for a moment I think the next event will come to me. :)

Thank you!!

I hate sticky sentences so much. I think this one is only temporarily sticky, though, so that's a good thing. I think I'm just kind of distracted with all of the plague nonsense and all the other stuff.

And lol...the title is just so incongruous because it's "a long, slow burn" yet the story is...short.

hee! I'm so glad that it made you grin. *hugs*

Distraction could be a big part of it. I find that when I have major stressors in the background then focussing on writing is about as impossible as free-climbing Nelson's monument.

The thing about judging boring things just reminds me so much of me. LOL. ... And the icon I'm using for this comment.

Yeah, I think I just haven't been in a good, quiet space to figure out what happens next. Though I did have a thought about that this morning, which rocks! I might have broken through, if I can just find the time.

And lol icon!!!
