In a funk...

[sekiharatae]

You will probably all think I'm crazy for saying this, but I feel like I haven't written anything in ages.  I'm jonesing to write something, and the words just won't come and make sense or turn out the way I want.  I've written the same little 500 word drabble four times now, and it's still not what I imagined when it came to me. 

This makes me sad.

And I have a huge list of things I need to write.  Prompts for Spring Kink, prompts for No True Pair (on Insane Journal), I need to write a prompt for all three of the tables I'm working on...

On the positive side, though, I updated dreamhost.  Yes, be shocked and amazed.  It's only been six years since I updated the Akabeko, but I have done so now.  (If you've been reading my LJ, the only new thing in the update will be the server dialogue changes.)  I also updated the collective itself (new site map, etc).  The RKRC was still listed there for pity's sake!

LOL, I don't think you're crazy at all. I do the exact same thing. If more than two days or so pass and I haven't written anything, I'm like 'aahhhh! It's been forever! I'm going crazy! What do I write?' The worst part is being in the place where you have ideas, but nothing is coming, or if it does, it's not coming out RIGHT. This is why I've not finished my Vaan/Penelo prompt table yet. GRRR.

Ahem.

At any rate, yes, I understand. There are times, too, after I finish a massive writing project that my brain goes on haitus for a few days or a week. That always drives me crazy, because even though I know I could use the break, I still have these ideas--I just can't write them.

(Can you tell I'm having one of these moments now, too? Pfft.)

Maybe we've been trained from turning in papers in school? Although... it's been a long time since I had to write a paper. ^^; But that is kind of how it works: write like a maniac, turn the paper in, let the brain relax.

My brain refuses to be retrained. It says: nope, you wrote like a maniac, now I'm on break!
