Good news: I’ve written 4300 words today.
Bad news: only 1300 of them have been on HEART OF STONE. The rest have been…I struggle with what to call it. It’d be fanfic if I actually wrote the whole thing, but I’ve RP’d for so long I don’t actually have any particular interest in writing a whole fanfic; someone else has to do the other half. So I guess it’s a ton of introductory scenelets or something. Anyway, it’s all the mutant Kit‘s fault, and it was a lot more fun than working on my stupid book. I’m gonna go back and write more in a while, though, because…I need to finish this book, is why. This scene I need to write is a fight scene and those are usually fun and go pretty fast once I get into ’em. I just don’t waaaaaaannnnnnnnnnaaaaaa.
Ted says I’m whining a lot about this book. I mean, I know I am, but I thought he was supposed to be all supportive and say, “No, no, you’re not whining any more than usual, there there dear.” Hrmph. :)

That’s burnout, is what that is. Give it a day, get the other fic out of your system, see if HoS goes a little bit easier the next day.
Boiling-brain syndrome is the next step past the don’wanna’s. You don’wanna that. Better to do a small bit of R&R and get your brain cells recharged.
I’m in the middle of TF and loving every page. You do a great job of bringing Joanne to life.
Oops. Forgot to put in my name. Keep up the great writing. Joyce
