BLAH
So third week of work down and things are still pretty touch and go as far as actually having work to do has gone. Been busy for a couple of complete days but the shorter day on friday and i had nothing to do. Spend most of the time till leaving 13:30 guiltily surfing the net on my work comp.
Today I've been doing to usual lazing about, being online, watching a film and reading Master & Commander. Which is not a patch on Hornblower as far Napoleonic naval books go.
But i'm just feeling restless, like I should be doing something more, though I've no idea what. If nothing else I should be writing. Spent most of the day waiting for asoiafkinkmeme's new round to open and am still uninspired by the results. I want to write that threesome prompt for you Luna or one of your prompts from earlier rounds but its just not flowing.
Maybe I burnt myself out with asoiaf already.
So in summary: blah.
also LJ has convinced me i need some delicious delicious battenburg. i need to go food shopping tomorrow anyway. That's the other sucky thing. I need to plan meals and food a lot better. But a lot of time I just feel too lazy un motivated to actually cook much. I fail at self-sufficiency.

Don't you have it when you sign up for a job (or a similar commitment) and then there isn't much for you to do? My research thing has pretty much been the same way. I get audio files, transcribe them, and then wait for more recordings from interviews. I hate that waiting is part of the process.
If you ended up writing the threesome prompt I have a feeling it would turn out really well. As far as writing goes, you seem to be much better at writing about a variety of characters, as opposed to someone like me, who usually picks 1-2 people in a fandom and gets ingrained in that mindset.
Do you like the new area you moved to? I've been meaning to ask that. I'm moving to a different apartment in a week, and I'm excited about it but at the same time it's a lot to plan. There's so many loose ends when you move, like, will I have crazy neighbors? Will my dog like it there? or How will I stay alive in this place with no air conditioning?
no subject
I like the area I'm in well enough. It's close enough to walk to my work one way, shop not to far the other way. The neighbours on one side are occasionally noisy but not as often as fear when I first moved in. Only thing I'm missing is something like the canal and fields that are behind my parent's house where it was nice to go walking if I wanted some fresh air.
:-D Thanks for the encouragement but I just had them jumping straight into sex with some pretty standard, Jon is hesitant about this stuff. Not really the usual build up I put into these things. What I'm leaning towards writing is an Asha/Robb sequel suggested by a comment on the first fic. Of course then i'd have to prompt it mself to put it for kinkmeme. lol.
I guess I have been quite varied with my asoiaf pairings. Though I've basically written Jon & the Stark boys. It's not some much I latch on to one character I guess. I just like pairings and story concepts that make sense to me.
It's weird because in HP my MO is basically. Harry, Harry, Harry with any girl that will have him. Except for one Draco scene for an on-going but that was supremely unpleasant to write.
Best of luck with your move. I'm sure it'll be great.
no subject
I write about Harry almost exclusively as well. Sometimes I'll try and branch out to other characters, but I understand his voice so much better than any other character in that fandom. I've never even tried to write Draco. I don't think I could do it because I just do not get his character, or why so many readers seem to love him.
no subject
Yeah, I get the not-getting why people like Draco thing. That section I wrote was pretty dark scene of him pretty much blackmailing pansy into sex. (it sort of makes sense in context) So it was me showing him off as the evil jerk i see him as. And doing that a scene with bellatrix/Harry in the same chapter pretty much turned me off ever attempting dark fic again.
no subject
What's funny is that I can write about Snape or Tom Riddle and be like, okay, this is a mean character, but I see Draco as obnoxious, which is infinitely worse, lol. I've only written two or three stories that I'd qualify as dark, but only one of them is like whoa-major-warnings. It's not my preferred genre though. I like writing about action, which is surprising for how much romance I end up writing.
You know what's weird--the first time I read OotP I thought Harry and Bella had chemistry. Granted, I was in middle school when I read that book for the first time, but they had a kind of weird energy in their shared scenes. It's an idea that I've held onto even now.
no subject
There's definately Harry/Bella chemistry but obvious since she's badshit crazy it lends itself to darkfic. I like to read it, but didn't like writing it.
