BLAH

[lightofdaye]

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.

She doesn't really need extra exercise, because we get around quite a bit, especially during the semester, but I try to play with her every day. Even if it's not rigorous playing it still works as down time or a de-stressor for the dog, and since she loves other dogs so much I try to take her over to my cousin's pretty often so the animals can visit each other.

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.

I can relate to wanting to write action. My DH re-write has a had couple of wizard duelling scenes in which are cool. I sort of have to drag myself back and remind myself i'm supposed to be writing porn when the setup/plot/action gets away from me. I wonder if the Harry/Susan one will provide some more auroring action to write.

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.
