Writing Update: Just a little grumbling - don't mind me

[danceswithgary]

This second SGA fic that I'm writing for the Kink/Cliche Challenge? The one that - thank goodness - svmadelyn is giving us more time to submit on? I'm seriously thinking I may need to let it simmer some more and let my two submissions stand as-is. This one is an extra because I've already met my commitments - on time.

This fic is NOT crack!fic, it's actually quite angsty, which shouldn't be a big surprise. I do tend to write those. The problem is that it's changed direction on me three times already. That's usually a hint that I'm not there yet. *frowns* I really like the underlying premise, I'm just having a hard time articulating it the way I want. Oh well, now that I've whined about it, it will probably settle down and behave.

In the meantime, I still have Two Years From Tomorrow which is due on 6/3 and I'm sure my beta would appreciate it before then, so I guess I'll mosey on over to work on that more seriously than the notes I've been dropping into the file for weeks.

11 days until we leave for Prague!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one going through this. I have a couple of ideas that I think could be really good and stretch my abilities, but the Muses are not being helpful.

I'm sooo close to finishing a fic and it just decided it's not working. *facepalm* Reading that I'm not the only one having problems lately is making me feel MUCH better. Though it probably doesn't help you any. ;)

I have been the Queen of Distraction and Frustration lately. :-(

I'm going to blame the season. ;) Spring makes the Muses go on vacation.

>>Two Years From Tomorrow which is due on 6/3>>

*sits here, grinning*

What gave you a due date on that?

It's an entry in CLFF26 - at least it is so far. I may withdraw and just post it on my journal because of the vacation thing. I hate the thought of it hanging out there until I get back. On the other hand, at least you'll be able to read it on my beta filter and it'll be on the CLFF26 site. Decisions, decisions.
