All right, so some of my biggest problems when it comes to writing are a) I am incapable of writing any fic from start to finish, it completely fucks with my method, and b) I tend to worriedly wave snippets under people's noses when the inevitable mid-fic insecurity sets in:

Me: THIS SUCKS. HELP.
Them: No it doesn't, you fool.
Me: Really?
Them: *helpful compliments*
My ego: \o/

And then I abandon the project because I've already had my instant gratification and/or I've already written all the bits that I care about anyway. The morals of this story seem to be that I should either a) write only to deadlines (which I'm quite good at), or b) only let myself get feedback when a fic is done.

Which is a very long-winded way of saying that I have a new fic idea and love it to pieces and this is hopefully the last you'll hear from me on the subject until it's completed.

(Though I haven't forgotten my [livejournal.com profile] hpmugglestudies fic, either! It's a bit less than a month until deadline, for those of you who are taking part in the challenge.)

A month! You can do it in a month!

DO NOT TELL LIES.

Besides I've had a breakdown about the premise and realized it falls into a pattern I hate passionately.

Er... the... the Constant Gardener pattern.

Not at all illuminating, Cosmas.

Oh, yeah.

I have another long-arse thing I have to write.

*kills her Ajedrez/Sands fic*

Thanks for the reminder!
