All right, that's it. Drastic times and drastic measure and all that.

So ever since I've been awake (which is two hours long than I've wanted to be awake, and I'm still goddamn tired and it sucks on toast), I've been thinking about my writing and how this whole writer's block is not going to crack unless I make a change. So I'm going to do a little reorganizing.

First off, reel_spn and spn_harlequin, which at this point look like lost causes. There's no way I'm going to get them done at the rate I'm going. It'd probably be better for me to just drop out of both.

Secondly, the two Sweet Charity assignments I still have to do. They WILL get done this week. They may be a smidge late, like a day or two, what with me having to work the first four days of this week, but I will get them finished this week, Clex and Rach, I swear to GOD. Witches' honor. :)

After that, my plate is clean. CLEEEEEEEEEEEAN.

The thing is, I don't know when the hell fanfic became more of a focus for me than my original fic, but it shouldn't be. That's not to say I'm going to turn around and stop writing fanfic or anything. But I think I'm focusing way too much on fanfic in a way that's making it less fun and more work, and I hate that. I mean, I haven't touched the Books of Boggs in a while, and usually with the length of time I've spent ruminating on the original fic I've got the bare bones of a map for on my wall, I've got tons of character and mythology notes scribbled down in a notebook. I just don't, and I don't like it.

Like I said, though, it's not like I'm going to stop writing fanfic or anything. We're something like two months away from the fall TV season. I think I'd crack under the pressure if I didn't write whichever bunnies popped into my head. The spoilers for SPN make me giddy, and Pushing Daisies is already feeding my jones, and I don't doubt Heroes and Ugly Betty will give me something to write about. But right now it's ALL fanfic on my schedule and it just can't be. Hell, look at last year -- when original fic was foremost on my schedule and fanfic was on the back burner I was pounding away on three different novels in the Books of Boggs series and knocking out something like ten to fifteen fanfics a month. I'm not doing that this year and it really bothers me.

SO!

Sweet Charity fic for Clex and Pulse recap, done by this weekend.

After that, I WRITE SOME GODDAMN BOOKS.

*fist in air*

Um, but first I take a nap. Mmmm, post-Blogathon napping. *happy sigh*

Feel free to take your time with mine, I totally don't mind how long it takes (Fuck knows my own SC fic is taking forever to write), I know you're trying.

*hugs* Thank you.

I think once I get the Pulse recap out of the way that will just come right out of my head, because really a movie recap is a MONSTER to write, size-wise.

*crosses fingers*

*Hugs back* It's no problem, I know you aren't blowing me off or anything. Sometimes a bunny just doesn't wanna talk though. Can't force it, just gotta wait it out.

And man-alive crawfish, I tried to do a movie recap once. Once. Never, ever, ever again.

HEE. At the very least I have to get this recap out of the way so that I can recap the Lifetime movie about how Internet porn is Awful And WRONG and a gateway drug to, like, jerking off at a Denny's while wearing a ferret costume or something. :)

Oh dude, that's the one with the jailbait from the Peter Pan movie, right? Lifetime movies make me wanna stab people but I almost wanted to watch that one just to laugh at it.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yup! I wonder if I gain points for downloading that AND gay porn at the same time. :)

I think that means you automatically win your very own internet all for yourself.

I can relate. Somehow fanfic has taken over my writing hours and I haven't even written a piece of original fic since I participated in an original ficathon a couple of summers ago. So, yes, it's time to reorganize some priorities. We can so do this.:)
