My Brain. It Failed.

Doctor Who reaction later - people seem to vary widely, and I want a bit of distance from other reactions to work out my own.

In the meantime, my meme addiction has been suffering, and this one (gakked from karaokegal) seemed appropriate. Because do you know how much of my sgabigbang fic I wrote on holiday?

Any guesses? Any at all?

That's right.

None. Nor did I write the couple of Torchwood fics that are bouncing off the inside of my head. It's taken me a week to put my brain back together after the stress of the last month or so, but I feel like I'm finally groping my way towards a plot that will work and give the characters something to do that doesn't feel trite or stale or contrived. And I'm blatantly nicking some structural/plot ideas from my tardis_bigbang story (going live tomorrow! woot!) but it's mine so I'm allowed :) I'm giving myself this week before I admit defeat, but I'm a bit scared that my Torchwood-fu has also vanished, and I'm not going to be able to write that either. It's going to be a wibbly week.

Anyone care to give me a hand to get going?

Impromptu Pep Talk Meme

This is, er, not a love meme. Not in the traditional livejournal sense of the word. Basically it's a Pep Talk Meme for writers/icon makers/vidders, whoever. You can put your username here or you can out someone else's username here and people drop little peptalks about your work in comments. For those of us who can do it, but just need a little pick-me-up now and then.

My Thread

I don't need a pick-me-up so much as a block and tackle, and possibly a crane, but this would definitely be a great help. *bats eyelashes becomingly*

Really long post...

I like wandering round LJ, I really do. People fascinate me, and I could pretty much spend all my time, ever, sitting in a cafe in the middle of Oxford watching them. And I have a tendency to follow links at random and read journals of people I don't know. Mostly, this is fun. Today...ack. The trouble with being interested in people is that you have a tendency to get too caught up in their stuff, and forget it isn't yours. Especially when you don't even know who they are. *sigh* A week of watching BBC World News didn't help. There reaches a point where you just have to click away/turn off.

So rather than flail and weep and curse the computer. Or rather after flailing and weeping and cursing the computer (dontcha just love hormones?) I figured I'd do something positive and post about the holiday instead :)

Of course, what I didn't do on holiday was write. So time to get cracking on that. But first:

( Another meme! Oh yes. I'm back )

I've decided I'm not doing a DW reaction post, since I both enjoyed and hated the episode. My mental state is such that I got kind of caught up in it and nearly broke J's fingers, but looking back, I didn't like it that much. I think it's mostly me, rather than it, so I shall wait until I have a clearer head.

*re-reads post* Oh yes. The rambling is back :)

ETA: *flails* I forgot to say! I went to school with one of the actors from last night's Doctor Who! ( Cut for character name only )

How cool is that???? Possibly only for me, but still. I'm excited. :D
