Up, up and away
Oct. 13th, 2002 01:42 pmI'm feeling restless. I've finally admitted that I can't do as many things as I agreed I can do, which has now decreased my stress levels exponentially and upped my free time somewhat (for example, I now have some).
(And lemme just take a sec here to somewhat publically thank those friends who were more than understanding about why I couldn't beta/code/co-write/etc the various projects that I once said I would do - Thanks =) )
I do have things to do. Gym, errands, cleaning - Angel tonight as part of my Holy Day of Obligation ;)
I also have some stuff that I'd like to do. As for example, update my website. I'm fairly good about updating it with fic, at least (or at least my serious fics - stuff meant just for LJ I figure can stay here for anyone devoted enough to my drabbles to find it), but other parts of the site I suck at.
Case in point, my links and recs pages. Those are hideously out of date. There are so many of you who I need to link to and need to put down on my "Here's where you can find good Angel fic" page, but I just haven't gotten around to it. Part of this is the lack of freetime thing, another part is that my stint as an About.com guide has still left me with a bleh taste in my mouth about updating @##%ing links pages (which recs pages are, when it comes right down to it).
So - bear with me? And don't take it personally if I haven't linked back to you yet? Links pages are so low on my list of priorities that it's impossible for me to overstate how much I don't usually feel like doing them. But OTOH I've got a slight yen to at least try doing that today, so who knows? Maybe do some other page cleanup too while I'm at it.
And then while I'm at it, I'd like a pony.
On top of all that, I'm itching to write some fic. The joy of
wes_visions_rpg has been working as my methadone (and can I just say again how much y'all rock? you rock) but - rrr - itch, itch, itch. Wanna write a story! Whine!
The problem is that the Epiphany boys need to marinate before I get back to them again (plus my brain is in a dark Wesley place, not a Wes needing to alternately cuddle Angel, suck him off, then beat him about the head with blunt objects as a way of getting his point across place). Cat & Mouse suggests itself, and boy do I have scenes for that one in my head, but I'm still hammering out the details of what's going to be in story four vs. five and so on and my gut is telling me that right now I'm not ready to commit to a steady plotline.
Possibly I could be, but that probably depends on how things go at the gym.
Finally, we've got stupid
jennyo and her stupid story giving me the stupid plotbunnies that I wasn't asking for, thank you very much, but now I have them and they keep screwing around with my brain. So even when I try to hammer out some C&M I get this other dark Wes in my head who snitches away the creativity and tries to flesh out a story I don't even know if I wanna write! Curse you
jennyo!
You know what I need? I need some new music. Hmmm.
