seasonal woe

[pensnest]

Friendslist, you are not helping. Not Helping. There should be screensful (screenfuls?) of long, witty, entertaining posts - or failing that, screens full of *anything*, anything at all to distract me and make me not have to write my story. This is Not Kind.

Fortunately there are angsty, sexful McShep stories. There is 16x16 sudoku. There are the archives of Go Fug Yourself. There are menfolk to be plied with unnecessary snacks, which they will not eat because they are raiding. Hell, I even blow-dried my hair!

Just don't make me write my story! No! I know how it goes. I get this idea, and all these scenes, and then I write it down and it turns into something drivelly and nowhere near as wonderful as it was in my head and I have to keep reading it and fiddling and trying to make it work and it won't and dammit, I don't want to write it.

Faugh. Just shoot me now.

Ahaha. Woe. I even have ideas, they just won't settle into shape.

Singing helped. We sang carols at the end of the rehearsal, so I'm all, Fal la la la la, la la la la.

I have ideas too, but I've found that I really can't write with an audience.

James isn't looking over my shoulder or anything, but he's watching tv, loudly, or talking, and I get so distracted....sigh.

Carols. I love singing those. Sadly the scouts carols by torch light has been cancelled, and I was looking forward to that.

Things can throw you off so easily. I find it much harder to write on the laptop downstairs, but if my Beast is sitting next to me up here, playing Warcraft on his computer, I can't concentrate.

Earplugs. Seriously. I have been known to write in earplugs if Richard is playing something which needs voice comms or makes a lot of noise.

I think I'll do that. While I'm not worried about ideas and the words are there, they keep getting buried under other stuff.
