"If I were psychic, you think I'd be writing? Writing is HARD."

So a few of you have asked me about my writing process. I am sorely tempted to throw out Chuck's assessment of HIS writing process, "I get a headache. Aspirin doesn't work, so I drink until I pass out," because ... well, I've had writing days like that.

I feel a little guilty complaining about how I'm not getting enough done to make me happy because, seriously, I do get a lot done, and more than other people, and it kinda makes me want to snuggle with the stuff I am getting done. But ... yeah. I do have a bunch of tricks by now to help spur me on creatively.

( Here's a list that I didn't think was going to be this long when I started writing it. )

And to follow up the post where I talk about my writing process ...

... I just dicked around for an hour foraging for more icons.

(Okay, pretty much going back to the same place I go for all of my NMTB icons. Oh! That reminds me ... fox1013, go check out #91. I think you may want that one. :D)

I figure I'll do this for a little bit longer and then head off for Chinese food, and THEN I'll come back and write.

Could somebody please do me a HUGE favor?

See this icon I'm using? I captured that from this week's PR Canada (Biffi, do the dance of joy!), and I want it with a border like this so that the animation's still small but it's got a nice white border around it to make it 100x100:



-- but it's a miracle that I figured out how to get THAT much done. Anybody wanna do me a humongous favor and make it like that for me? *bats eyelashes*
