Scribbling Equals Headdesk?

This entry is part 35 of 35 in the series Daily Scribble Reports

12:09 a.m.

Yes, I know. I'm crazy. So I wasn't going to write on this today, due to the lateness of the hour and all that, and technically it doesn't count for the 4th anyway but the 5th, due to the lateness of the hour and all that, but here goes because I'm really, really tired of this particular story not wanting to even get started. There went 8 sentences and 179 words on Splintered Gates. Still hate it.

:scowls:

Writing

So on day five of the wonderful new year, I'm banging my  head against my desk. Mind you, I did scribble at 12:09 this morning, but didn't like what I got and hit the collaboration later this morning even though I had intended to get my gift fics done. They're not flowing and the collaboration is making me want to tear my hair out. I'm rethinking the whole structure I tried working with because as usual, I plot too late and don't really get the opening plotty bits right until I come up with the later material. I have ideas, but...

Yeah. :headdesk:

Finally getting somewhere, then stop, drop, and undecorate, etc. Back to work... Who is related to who in which exact way? Calling it even, though I barely got any new words because I'm knee-deep in structure and percolating again. Ah, well. Sorry, thecatisacritic. I'm getting somewhere, just not fast.
