Oh, for fuck's sake.

I've had a tab open in Firefox for Drastically Redefining Protocol since about ... oh, the day it was posted, and I think half of the reason I haven't gotten anything written since yesterday is that I keep dropping things to go reread parts.

Somebody take the pretty Merlin/Arthur story away from me? Pretty please?

URGH. I only have two chapters to finish, damn it. Why do I make this so freaking hard on myself, honestly? *headdesk*

Okay, if I can at least get this chapter done today and the dialogue for THE VERY LAST CHAPTER OF THIS DAMN THING I HAVE TO WRITE FUCK YEAH, then tomorrow after my dentist appointment I can go to Panera and kill the FUCK out of this damn first draft. Fuck making sure everything's tied up. I'll worry about that when I'm editing the fucker.

I'm telling you guys, when I finish this goddamn thing, you will hear me cheering. Even if I have to post a YouTube video of me celebrating.

... aaaaaand now I'm going to have to do that, aren't I? Heh.

EDIT: I would fail miserably at No Cussing Week, wouldn't I? I'm already crap at Lent. I had booze and chocolate this weekend on purpose. Why stop there, right?

Also, listening to the Party Hits station when you're trying to write a serious scene doesn't work. I don't think the Martini Lounge station is going to be any better. Hmm.

But Drastically Redefining Protocol is too adorable for me to ever take it away from someone! [/aghast]

I'd swear I've read this part by you before. Verbatim.

That story is an evil productivity sucking creation. You start reading and think "I'll finish it so I can get back to important things", but then you can't stop going back and rereading. Things like that should be illegal. And come with warnings.

I KNOW, RIGHT?! I'm still going back, and I was just starting to hit something of a stride with what I was writing. For fuck's sake. *headdesk*

Perhaps disabling the wireless connection will help? Or CLOSING THE DAMN TAB.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I CAN'T. I can't turn off the internet connection because I can't write without music and my Zen is charging right now, and even if I close the tab I still have it saved in my bookmarks.

Eh, I'm one Smirnoff down and I just read the running-away-from-the-paparazzi bit, so I should be good for a while.

I'm giving up pre-marital sex for Lent?
