I did it!!! Now to sleep forever.
Also, really don't like this new post an entry page. It's very... it doesn't feel nicely laid out.

So you know how when you're not pressured to write for a particular prompt you have ALL THE IDEAS but then when you have a particular prompt you HAVE to write for you've got nothing?
Yeah, that's totally me right now.
So the prompt is "unbound"
I actually need to write a script based on this prompt and I'm coming up empty. My muse pretty much told me to fuck off because it's going to write exactly what it wants to write. So I have no idea what to even think of this prompt. I mean, time traveler, I guess.
HELP!!!

I Broke My Brain
May. 8th, 2012 05:25 pmSo I am going on hiatus. Until September.
I know September seems like a really long time away, and it is. So let me start at the beginning.
Remember how back in March I injured my fingers and couldn't write for a few weeks? So I did a lot of reading instead? Well when I could write again I did. I took a lot of notes and worked on stories. I don't know if it was too much or what, but I seriously think I broke my brain. I didn't read a single page during the month of April. I haven't written anything in weeks. There was a whole week in there where I couldn't even watch TV. And I'm still struggling with all of those things, though TV is a bit easier now.
I've already dropped all of my big bangs, which actually had nothing to do with not being able to write, so I'm not obligated to write anything at the moment except for a fic I promised for Rainbow Support. So this means, in the next few months, it's very unlikely that anything will be posted except for the Rainbow Support fic, and a big bang fic that's already finished and I'm just waiting for a posting date on.
So why am I taking so much time to recover? Because I've decided to do both months of Camp NaNoWriMo. One is in June and the other is in August and I'd like to focus on just them.
This doesn't necessarily mean that nothing at all will happen. I still plan on taking notes for fic ideas that won't leave me alone, and if something happens to get written then it does. This basically just means that I'm not going to push myself to write any fic. I really want to focus on my original stuff for Camp NaNo, but for at least the month of May I just want to give my brain a break. I'm slowly coming out of this slump and I just don't want to push myself.
For those who are hoping for some of my fics to read, I'm sorry. They will still happen. Just not now. Same for Forbidden Love. I know how that series ends and it will end!! I promise.

Some of you may have noticed my lack of Internet presence over the past two weeks. I injured my finger. I don't know how, but it happened. Typing and writing had been... not worth trying, for the most part. Which is a shame because my muses kicked into overdrive. I have some stories that need to be typed up and I can't (like the next in the Forbidden Love series!) and stories to write that I can't write.
A two week loss of writing time means I'll probably have to drop a couple of big bangs. My finger still hurts but it's getting better. I'm just not sure how long it's going to be before I can spend all day writing again. *sigh* Real life just really gets in the way sometimes.
I'll be replying to comments and messages and such when I can actually type again. For now I figured I'd leave a note here. I haven't abandoned you! Not yet ;)
I have been doing a lot of reading though! Thanks to it being Black March I can't actually buy anything and I also decided that I was going to give up all television watching for the month. So I could get more reading and writing done. Stupid finger *grumbles*
Anyway, the reading part is going well so I leave you with a couple of recommendations:

Christmas Gift Delay
Dec. 19th, 2011 03:23 pmI hate to do this but I'm working on a week long headache here and I have no idea how long it's going to last. Christmas gift fic will be delayed. Hopefully no later than the end of January. You'll still get them though so no worries :)
So I have some questions for you guys but first let me explain.
I've been writing Wesley/Riker for over a year now and I've always written them as fourteen years apart. There was a reason for that.
Various (majority of) websites have Wesley's birthday listed as 2349 (including the Star Trek Site and the Star Trek Encyclopedia) while Memory Alpha has it listed as 2348. Now, I chose 49 because it made more sense, knowing what I knew about Wesley's age in the series.
Last night, after some pretty extensive research, and even some help from hubby, it would seem that 2348 would actually appear to be the correct date.
So here are my questions.
Should I go back and change everything to the thirteen year age difference? (except for forbidden love because changing ages on that one would really fuck with things)
Should I use the thirteen year age difference from now on (in the spirit of keeping things canon)?
Should I continue using the fourteen year age difference, even though it appears not to be canon, just because I'm familiar with it and I like it?
Now I know one year isn't really much of a difference, but this is my obsession with Wesley/Riker that we're talking about here. The one thing I've never done in an AU is change their ages. I've never made them closer in age and I've never made Wesley the older one. I like their age difference.
What should I do?
