Writing breaks my brain

[jadesfire]

There's a line in an SGA story where Rodney threatens to explode in sheer, bitter fury. It's possible that I identify with him just a little bit too much, but oh good grief I understand the feeling at the moment.

Sometimes I really wish I got writer's block. What I get instead is writer's junk, where I can churn out the words, and it's not that they suck, it's just that they don't say what I thought they were going to say, which is hugely, immensely frustrating. It's also possible that I depend on Z to an unhealthy degree to pull me out of these funks and tell me what I'm thinking, but I absolutely can't write in a vacuum. I need input and I need someone to tell me when I'm wrong and what I need to do instead. *stamps foot* BT, I really, really hate you right now.

I am going to put my writing woes up in heretoutopia today, so anyone who's on the filter (or wants to be) and wants to wander over and help me wrangle the story into some semblance of order, or just bounce ideas around with me, I'd be more grateful than I can say. Until I get this artword fic done, I don't think I can start anything else. It's taking over my brain and I need rid of it.

In the meantime, I need to get *something* written, so. Anyone who wants, go check out the prompt list at bringthehappy and pick one for me. Any fandom you think I might know. I'm in too much of a flail to choose and I write better to order anyway. I can't promise a full ficlet, but drabbles usually get me going again and they're something of a speciality.

Help!

*clings* Who cares? We turn out the stories and everyone's happy!

*giggle* Well, that's one approach. Except you have to get them to the house first. Hopefully S will have yelled them into submission by the end of the day. Remind me to email you the edition of the Now Show with Marcus Brigstocke's BT rant once you're up and running again...
