so I have a fic due in a couple days. It's based on a song prompt. I started a PotC jack/will fic for it a long time ago but I've barely touched it in weeks. Due in jsut a couple days, but what am I doing now? Writing a completely unrelated Spock/Kirk fic.

AAHAAAAAHHH!

the potc just doesn't want to get written. and I've wracked my brain trying to get inspired with something else. I think it's the prompt I don't like. I disliked it from the beginnin but chose not to turn it in for a new one. Cuz I'm stubborn.

well, the spock/kirk is coming along well.

Is there anything worse than having something started, a deadline looming and the creative brick-wall is up? I suppose the ability to knock down that wall and make the deadline is what separates the 'writers' from the 'wannabes'.

Serious wannabe here, but if you're just not interested or inspired by something, it's not going to get written. If it does, it's usually slap-dash, passionless stuff you'd be embarrassed to claim.

I think that's why I bailed out of fandom. There're only so many ways you can write a character/pairing because of the canon/fanon limitations. It gets boring after a while and the brick-wall appears sooner every time. I didn't think it was worth the brain-wracking to produce another version of something that had already been written to death. :)
