Hope it's a very happy day and you have fun ::hugs::
My fic is killing me. It's frozen again. It's dead in the water. It's going nowhere and I'm frustrated and cross.
I realise this is a. boring, because it's b. just what I said yesterday and c. potentially upsetting to the eventual recipient. No need to comment as you were all really nice yesterday and this is just me venting. The request was reasonable, well within my writing ability range and a character I love and it's therefore All My Fault that I can't come up with something. And there's nothing wintery about it apart from the date, but that only just hit me. :;hugs person I'm writing for apologetically::
I tried leaving it and writing some mindless smut to take my mind off it. Didn't work. I tried reading other people's smut and that just depressed me as they were managing to do what I couldn't; Write. Something. Anything.
Part of it is down to endless hours spent on the phone to tech support as my modem stopped working and then an afternoon spent at the Urgent Care walk in clinic trying to get someone to look at Lauren who's had a snotty nose for a week and said her ears were hurting. 4 hours after we booked in, we left, still unseen, as Eleanor's school bus was due. She's booked in for Thursday with our family doctor. The waiting times there are ridiculous. We were told 2 hours so we left and came back but we were still in there for over an hour when we returned and I spent an hour driving there, back, there, back. Grr.
