The World's Gone Crazy

Scared yet?

No?  Well, go fuck yourself. XD

So it’s Halloween, my favorite holiday and a chance to celebrate all things horror.  Sadly, I’m not having the best time.  My mom has gone randomly paranoid and decided not to answer the door to any trick or treaters.  I’m certainly not going anywhere either. :/ 

Oh well, I can still have fun here.  Not like I don’t know how. :)

Scared now?

No?

Goddammit…

So I owe someone a one shot from several months ago, and I’ve just know gotten my ass into gear because I’m a lazy bitch. 

Anyway, I’ve realized that I have absolutely no idea what to write.  The person I owe it to was as non-specific as humanly possible, and normally that works well for me because I don’t really like being told what to write.  This time, however, I’d have appreciated some guidelines.  At least then I wouldn’t be staring at a blank Word page with no idea what to write and breaking my brain trying to come up with something.

*smacks head on desk again*

Alright, alright.  No more complaining.  I will figure this out if it takes me all night long and tomorrow night too!! 

I WILL, DAMMIT!

As of today, October 21, 2011, I am offically Writer’s Block free.

*cues Hallelujah chorus*

Yes, yes, it’s absolutely wonderful.  I seriously haven’t been able to stop writing all day.  I finished that chapter of Just Keep Smiling (thank god) as well as two prompts for my Death Note 100 themes challenge, AND a poem for the writing contest the deviantART Risembool Rangers is holding.  I didn’t think I’d be able to do it, but I guess I was wrong.

As you can imagine, I’m very proud of myself.

I’d write more, but I have a prize for the winner of the Ranger Group’s AMV contest to finish.

Ciao!

I’m thinking I need to stop staying up until 6am.  Food for thought, I guess.

In other news, I went to Wal-Mart today and almost won a toy in the crane game, but it fell.

And that’s my uber-exciting day!

Well, this is just great.

First, I get three quarters through the next chapter of Just Keep Smiling only to realize it was total crap.  After deleting it, I attempted to get started on chapter 8 of SM: Second Life, and I can’t.  I’m not even going to try Absolute Ouran now. 

I have writer’s block.  Hoo-fucking-ray!

I don’t know, maybe I’ll try writing a one-shot.  That helps sometimes.

…but I finally discontinued my incomplete Harry Potter fanfics.

See, Harry Potter was my first exposure to fanfiction.  I got my start with that fandom.  The non-existant first fanfiction I ever wrote WOULD have been a Harry Potter fanfiction assuming the first fanfiction I ever wrote actually existed.  Which it doesn’t.

Anyway, I owe a lot to that fandom, I’ll always appreciate all it did to help me.  But some things just aren’t mean to last, and I’ve found in recent years that I’m just too disconnected from Harry Potter fandom to continue with it.  I could go into my reasons, but that will just become a rant and I don’t want that.

The only problem was my two in progress fics, In Time and Little Girl.  I started those in 2007 and 2008 respectively.  They are by far my most reviewed/favorited stories on both sites they’ve been posted on.  I never thought I could get that much feedback.  Granted, some of it was negative (particularly with In Time), but I digress.

I’ve been debating with myself about cancelling them for months now.  A tiny part of me didn’t want to let them go.  I’ve taken down stories before that I no longer had drive for, but they weren’t big like these two.  Still, I finally decided that I’d rather have 100 people read and enjoy something I love writing than 100,000 people read and enjoy something I hate writing.

I feel better now, like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.  Now I just have to get through the inevitable barrage of angry messages. XD

Ciao!

It’s my favorite month because I love Halloween.  Be aware of lots of scary things I will most likely be posting in the coming days. 

Just a fair warning. :)
