Meh

I've been feeling so scattered lately. Totally uninspired to do anything. I really don't know what it is. I feel like I should be doing stuff, but I just don't have the energy. Could be my brain is confused. It's September and I'm not trying to muddle my way through classes.

Haven't written a thing since I got back from vacation either. I really want to write but every time I sit down to do it, I just can't put the thoughts into words. Can't even bring myself to care about completed stuff, though I should. I want to try to do NaNoWriMo this year since this will be the first time I'll have the time to write and focus, but if I can't get anything down then it seems like it would be a waste of time. Also can't decide, if I do want to try, whether to write something original or just do a long fanfic for the first year to get the hang of things.

Anyone read anything inspirational lately? Something to get me up off my ass?

Hee, Force Unleashed! That would literally get me off my butt. Maybe this weekend? Monday is Thanksgiving so that's an extra day to consider. I also need to give you your Westwing DVDs back.

Hey darlin'!

Not to bring you down or anything, but... it's actually October *pets*

Can't even bring myself to care about completed stuff,

*GASPS* OH SHIT! OMG! I was supposed to BETA for you!!! Darlin'!!! I completely forgot, omg *FACEPALM* What with crazy t-shirt schedule and then being sick for Two Friggin Weeks... it totally slipped my mind. I am so sorry!!! Eeeep. And I'm not sure when I'll be getting to it now either, gah... still have 53 t-shirts to do for the weekend, and then I am going away... I probably can't even start until next week. :o( I feel like such a bad friend :o( Poooh.

As for writing, you should still keep everything you write down, and keep on writing it down, even it it seems like a waste of time. Something might spark and idea, or you'll go back to it later and realize that there are good parts. Never throw away any of your writing, no matter what.

If you're bored, I managed to write a little something a few days back. It's not much, but I'd love for you to read, of course :o)

And, something inspirational that could get you up off your ass...!

Try visiting www.doctorsteel.com and the fansite www.toysoldiersunite.com *GRIN* Hubby and I have totally enlisted and begun spreading the word *G* We've even completed some propaganda missions. Tons of fun. Tell your friends! :oD

*hugs*

It is October, isn't it? Never really had the doldrums during the fall; guess I've always been too stressed about school to feel blah.

Seriously, don't feel bad you forgot. Betaing my stuff should be the last thing you have to worry about. I'm not on a deadline. And you could never be a bad friend. :-D

I really want to try writing stuff down in a notebook or something. That way I won't delete it, like I do most of the time with stuff on the computer.

[browncoat2x2]

DELETE IT!??! Good grief!! Seriously, you mustn't delete your writing! Never Ever!!! Definately get a notebook and write your ideas out longhand. It's not as easy to go back and edit the same bits over and over and over again either when you write it out as opposed to working on it in a word processor.

Aw, I'm so sorry you've got the doldrums *hugs* Check out those links tho, they should make you smile ;o)

I do feel bad about the betaing, and unfortunately, it really is the lowest priority of many things right now... why is it always so Busy!?!! But I'll do my best to get to it asap. And if you're just saying that about not having a deadline, and you really wanted it done earlier, I won't be offended if you want someone else to do it.

I know. Deleting stuff = bad, but I feel like everything is crap and I should get rid of it. Though, now I'm getting lazy so I'm deleting less. Longhand might give me the chance to write in different places, too. I sit at a computer for 8.5 hours a day; I really shouldn't end the day in the same place.

I honestly don't have a deadline. I completely forgot about the fic while on vacation and it only hit me sort of recently that I had stuff floating out there for a beta. So, do life stuff, I won't feel bad. Plus you're an awesome beta; you know Inara so well. :-D

Sorry, nothing inspirational to say, just wanted to offer a *comforts* on the fall blahs.

I'll probably be skipping NaNo this year myself. Just not feelin' it.

[locker-monster.livejournal.com]

I'm finding beating up villains in video games helps with the blahs. :-)

Once November comes a little closer I'll see if I actually want to do NaNoWriMo. To hit quota, I'd have to write 1667 words per day. Yikes.
