Post-Weekend Block

[timelord1]

I have PWB - Post Weekend Block - which happens every time I don't spend enough time writing over the weekend. Getting back into the swing of things after a weekend of not writing leaves me a hot mess on Mondays. And sad. And grouchy. :( I just false-started my continuation of F&W three times and abandoned all three attempts. Then, because I have confidence made out of thinly spun sugar, I start to get discouraged, which is just never good. I need to watch some episodes to get 10 and Rose's voices back in my head and re-read the previous chapters and I'll get back in the groove. It's just at the moment I feel like I'm all full of cold mashed potatoes and stagnant water. :b

Keep trucking along, you'll get it, I promise!

I ended up taking out an entire section of chapter 4 last night in an attempt to rewrite it, but now I'm completely regretting that decision. Blocked majorly. I saved the second I deleted, but I wasn't thrilled with it anyway.

If you need to talk some things through in a rambling stream-of-consciousness manner, you can email it to me! Don't know what kind of help I can be, but at least you'll have a sympathetic ear.

Or, I hear our friend kelkat9 is part muse...if that helps :-)

**I saved the section I deleted...WHY DOESN'T LJ HAVE AN "EDIT COMMENT" BUTTON???

[timelord1.livejournal.com]

I've wondered that myself. I always have a "spare" file where I paste all my big deletions. Maybe I'll send it off. I hate to be a pain in everybody's butts anymore than I already am lol.

Don't be frustrated! That happens to me too. I vote for re-reading it or some other Ten/Rose fics that are in the same genre that you're writing. I.E. If you need to write some angst - go read some angst etc. Let me know if I can help. You can do it!

This is a good idea - this section is when the investigation begins, so I need to find some good Doctor in Scooby Doo mode fic. Maybe I'll post a thing in ficsearch. :) Thank you - and I might call on your fabulously muse services if you don't mind. I am going to owe you an entire bakery full of sweets with all the help you give me. :)

hmmm let me think if I have anything like that in my massive favorites list. No problemo, email me if you need help. It gives me a break from thinking about dark and evil Eternals doing wicked things to my Doctor, Jack and Rose.

Ah, but wicked things can be so enjoyable!!! :) I will keep at it for a while, then give up and send it on for assistance, I think.

Tomorrow is a new day. Set it aside tonight and watch TV or something.

You will get your mojo back!

Man I hope so. Got some historical help from my brother, the armchair historian, so that will help me flesh things out a bit. Going to give it a rest soon. Have spent way too much time tinkering with the look of the journal.

hope you find your "groove" soon hon. On another note, when did it go all brightly coloured in here? It wasn't like this last week was it? or am I just losing my mind? lol

[timelord1.livejournal.com]

No, I did that yesterday in an attempt to get my groove on. You're completely sane lol. :D

[develish1]

oh dear lord no! don't tell me I'm sane, never ever tell me that! lol
