I call a do-over.

I think I've used that same subject heading before. I've officially become lame. *stamps lame certificate* So today almost brought y'all a woe post from me. ALMOST. Went to bed blue. Woke up blue. Didn't help that the first news article I read was that they found James Kim's body. That poor family. (SF family that got lost in the mountains, for those not keeping up with Current Events) I'm missing Mr. S, I've been feeling overwhelmed by everyone's NEED and me being the only person that's needed (gah) and under-motivated to do anything, BUT.

I took the dog for our 5 mile walk (which quickly became a 2 mile walk when the wind gusted up to 30mph making the 40 degree weather feel WAY colder) and all I had on was my grey hoodie. I totally had a Uni-bomber look going, which for some reason cracked me up. Apparently, imagining that I'm a serial terrorist cheers me up. YOU'VE ALL BEEN WARNED.

Today is FUGGIN' freezing and so there will be a stock pot of turkey chili made. There will be comfort movie watching (as yet to be determined). There will be fudge consumed. There may even be, dare I say, a hot chai. What there WON'T be is: whining on my part. Any chores done. (screw 'em) Any errands involving me leaving the house. CRAP. Except for one, but it's my volunteer day at the library, but it's a half-hour, so that gets a pass.

I have monster writer's block. The creativity well done dried up. Who does what when that happens? I'm going to see if making scarves and fudge eating fixes mine. Probably not, but it's the EFFORT that counts. Heh.

And tonight is Best Comedy Night on TV night. My Name is Earl is okay, but THE OFFICE! SCRUBS!! 30 ROCK!!! <-- why aren't more people watching this? It's EXCELLENT. It's so damn funny. Plus, I heard a rumor that there's JD/Turk in the musical episode, hahahaha! Okay, blue mood is lifting.

My only venturing from the house today will be a quick run to the post office and walking the dog. That's it. I've got to finish fic today (Callum/Denis - wanna beta later?) for posting today. Of course while I have to write one fic, I've got a different fic running through my head. That's the way it always works for me.

What to do when the well runs dry? I just go with it for a couple weeks then sit down and try to do something different than the norm. Maybe drabble in a fandom you don't usually write. Or try porn if you've mostly been doing humor, or humor if you've been doing angst, or some weird AU if you've been sticking to canon. Does that make sense? Going in a totally different direction can open the mind.

*hugs*

Oooh, more of your Denis? Send it on, yes ma'am! And hah - I'm the same way. I write one thing and then end up writing a completely different idea. while the first fic is half-finished. (I just got an FNL bunny that's femme-slashy with Lyla/Tyra, so let's see if it gets done...)

I think the idea of writing out of your normal fandom/style/theme is a great idea. It certainly seems where my brain is headed, so I'll give that a try. *hugs you back!!*

I'm trying to finish it now, so I'll drop you a line when I'm done to make sure you still have time. Thanks.

Oh, don't worry about when it's finished. If I commit to being a beta, I'm there, no matter when. Don't break your neck, and I'll get to it just as soon as it hits my inbox. :)
