Well, this a strange burst of creative inspiration... 8 chapters in the equivalent time of approximate eight hours across two days... After so long of not feeling it, I'd almost forgotten what a rush it could be.

QuoteAlthough the toaster says I'm sane...)
Would you like some toast? Or, are you more of a muffin man?
(And 
if you recognize the source)
2016 was even slimmer, so this *is* an improvement. I’m guessing that people are just a bit busier over the holidays, so they don’t have that much time to write/review.

Today is good, thanks for asking
.
Yeah, it's probably just the holidays... But I've absolutely no life, so... lol.

I left work last Friday for the staycation, and likely won’t see another person until I get back to work next week. So, yeah, its me and my cats for the holidays. My family’s far enough away that makes it fiscally and logistically tough to visit (not to mention that recent oil boiler purchase didn’t help the budget). Other people, though, likely resemble National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.

To friends, fans, and everyone in between:
Merry Christmas. Hope everyone's able to enjoy it with family.

Anyone else ever just feel like pulling everything they have posted or is it just me? I feel like it might just be me... Hmmm... Probably is...

PippyChick: Yeah, I notice that myself and that's probably the reason now. Just posted something new and yeah... While I know comparing does nothing, I've found it happening with this one…
DP: I wish I could say it was a big check... I'd pull it there. Still thinking no publisher will take the one I'm prepping...

I did once pull everything I posted from AFF. Unfortunately one of the stories wasn’t backed up like I thought and I lost it. I can’t remember why, but I had ‘em back up before too long so it can’t have been too serious.

Ages ago, I talked one author out of a complete withdrawal, (due to serious medical issues), pointing out that their fics (non-AFF) were a nice legacy, something that his nephew (who started him writing HP fanfic) would eventually treasure. I know the lack of reviews/response can be frustrating, or the self-doubts gnaw, I struggle with those too, however, stories are tales, generally enrich us all, and can be a good legacy once we’re dust.

While editing off a chapter for one of my many adventures in the creative realm of (please insert colourful metaphor here) insanity that is my writing… (...Of course, it doesn’t help that I haven’t really written anything in a week, so these are all the buffer chapters I have…)… Sorry, rambling again… Anyway, I noticed some of my quirks ‘re-emerged’ from long ago… In this case, the suspension of disbelief ‘rule’ I have. (Yes, I, the insane one, follow some strange rules that probably make no sense...) Anyway, background for it, at one point it was a three-point system wherein I would give myself leeway to do three things that would require a suspension of disbelief. (Let’s take, for example, Star Trek: Suspension of Disbelief 1 (Hereafter SoD#): Faster than light travel; SoD2: aliens exist; SoD3: Every known woman of alien/human/...shapeshifter? origin wants to get it on with a certain specific Starfleet Captain… Well, except two… So it seems… There may be a third, but… Sorry, rambling again...)… Anyway, the way this rule worked for me was, if there was too many SoDs, then it became too unbelievable and it would take me out of the story… So, my question becomes, what sort of strange things do you, as a writer, adhere to? What sort of things have you ‘grown’ out of?

Much like BW, I've got a million ideas in my head... Usually fighting each other (...six things on the go and one trying to be published...too many ideas, not enough time)... I can be inspired (and write twenty chapters pretty much non stop) by a simple song lyric or something I've seen in movies or just random thoughts I have... Which are most of the ideas... And where the idea for the newest one came from (two lines in a song, lol)... But that inspiration can be lost just as suddenly too… Having a broken spirit kills that inspiration flat dead... Trust me, I got a lot of Inspiration hidden in the basement... And for me, that happens a lot... Stress kills... And when nothing's gone right (Just like right now, laptop's fried itself (I hate this damned city))... And bad times... And that feeling that, while I know people are reading, it doesn't feel like it... The inspiration wavers and, oft times, cracks, breaks, and disappears... I've been lucky lately... But even then, the inspiration for STA, BaH, CHHW, even Hunted and BP have all wavered because of those factors all coming together right now... Sucks when you're always thinking the worst…

Okay, I'm definitely in. Story: One Last Gift Holiday theme: Takes place around Christmas... I believe the description to my beta was 'A messed up Christmas Carol'. Warning: Nosex Summary: Full of anger and hate for the Christmas season after the death of his love a year earlier, Daniel Jacobsen has become a grinch of sorts. But after several drinks at the local bar, he might change his tune with a strange encounter.
-
And now... for the next five weeks, tough days ahead... Lots of bad memories... Not sure how much writing is going to get done on any of them now :(.

@Desiderius Price I found out on Thanksgiving Day 2012 that my dad had end-stage cancer. He and my stepmom flew up from Texas on December 5, 2012, and he died January 11, 2013.
I still catch myself thinking I should text my dad about something, or call him. But if he were here today, we’d be having a cup of coffee together, something we started doing when I was a toddler (mine back then was a few drops of coffee in warm milk, but it worked!) and did almost up until he died. Cocoa was only for when I went ice skating, and Dad would be watching from the rail at Wollman Rink.

I hate working nights, never get to answer people right away... :(…
DP: Regarding morselized penis... Disturbing... Yet, once again shows how reality can be stranger than fiction... And I have a great number of strange things the cops would suspect me as a serial killer for...especially with my search history... And apparently being a writer only goes so far when researching Nazis... And rape... And getting away with murder...
BW, I'm sorry to hear that :(... It's good you have the great memories, though. Still, I understand... And sure, let's be tough together :).

There's a reason I don't write oneshots... Because I never stop at one... They're like bloody Pringles!!!
And then they turn into new projects... Adding to a very large array of projects... And again I've got another started... Lol. However, it is proving to myself I am capable of crossing genres... So that's something!!-

Step one, dispose of the plot bunny and wait for it to germinate in the refuse pile
Step two, cut the seedling down, wait for it to become a oneshot
Step three, cull the oneshot and see it bloom into a chaptered story
Step four, smoother that story to see it become a full universe with lots of stories and backstories….
Step five, set auto-destruct and abandon universe
Step six, pray that nobody else realizes that their universes were infected from yours. -
@Desiderius Price you must have a very interesting garden.

@CloverReef Mostly poisonous
