Why am I struggling with this fic? A self assessment by bironic

[bironic]

- You suck at this
- You've lost the ability to focus
- It's been a long time since you wrote fic that you intended to post
- The allergy meds you're taking every night make you cloudy-brained
- There's a tension between the style of the book and the style of your own writing
- The canon characters are underdeveloped and inconsistent
- You're best when writing dialogue, but one of these two characters has no voice
- Dustfinger rides the knife edge of sounding like a creep, which you don't want him to

There. That sounds better than "why are you failing at this, you stupid lump who calls herself a writer."

...Seriously, though. It shouldn't take four hours to write 100 words.

You can do it! It will be worth it in the end! I can keep saying things in exclamation points until you believe it!

If and when it is finished, we will find out if it was worth it! Sigh. WORDS, WHERE ARE YOU.

I hug you up. I have had days where I feel like this too.

[bironic]

Hugs, yay. <3

Words are better than no words. You'll get there!
