I threw together some lists from the generator, deleted out the material I didn't want, and generated a few prompt tables for my friend who's been on the hunt for prompts. At some point (probably soon), I'll write up my own prompt list.

Date: 2015-07-26 06:58 am (UTC)That and I found the free prompt generators for iOS to be very less than helpful so I was hoping to find some means of focusing myself on one story for a while.

Date: 2015-07-26 02:50 pm (UTC)I would like to say it's just the stress I've been under for the past few months making me this bad, but I had issues before. I did try and rebuild at least my writing support network... It didn't go well, as you know. That... That I really do feel makes it worse. I was trying to find a counterbalance to losing one of my oldest supports and felt like I got kicked down farther.
I don't want to ask too much of you or annoy you, but I don't have many people left to ask and I am afraid I will do something like I did that pushed the others away.

Date: 2015-07-26 03:19 pm (UTC)But because I've been there, I know this stuff from the inside out, I have patience and am not going anywhere. You need a friend who loves you unconditionally and as far as I'm concerned, that's me. I'm tactless and I do get exasperated every so often and I'm opinionated and always overbooked because I don't understand how to not go off in a thousand directions at once. But I'm here. And I'm here for you. And that's not going to change.

Date: 2015-07-26 04:13 pm (UTC)I do appreciate what you do and...
Well, there are no good words to respond to a pledge like that so...
*hugs hard and cries lots*

Date: 2015-07-26 04:16 pm (UTC)I kind of hate those exercises. I think the not speaking negatives is more important than the other. I never did the other, just stopped the self-hate, verbally before emotionally. But whatever works for you, and I mean that.

Date: 2015-07-26 05:10 pm (UTC)I made an effort when I knew I was dwelling negatively mentally to change the subject. I'd clamp down hard when the memories my brain tormented me with resurfaced and I'd switch topics, usually to writing but not always. It was working, mostly, and I was managing and hadn't been really low and then... I don't know. I lost it and a lot of stuff has gone wrong and I can't do it as effectively when I either can't write or can't find a more positive mental subject and when so much is going wrong or there are what seems like huge obstacles to writing/publishing, that doesn't work.

Date: 2015-07-26 02:57 pm (UTC)it might also work to remix things in that jogged fic before but could maybe spin a new direction.

Date: 2015-07-26 03:16 pm (UTC)So...
In short, I'll post a set of lists (different categories for different things) sometime next week with intent for feedback. You can suggest edits, and I'll clean up what I like or don't, and whenever we need new prompt sets, we can spin up a card or five from any list or combination thereof.

Date: 2015-07-26 04:07 pm (UTC)Just as general heads up...
I will be leaving Thursday and we're driving there so I probably won't manage much in depth feedback then, but since we weren't invited to the rehearsal I believe Friday will be low key and I'll try for it then if I haven't done it before then, though Saturday is my cousin's wedding and I'll be... busy.

Date: 2015-07-26 05:03 pm (UTC)I'm hoping it goes well, though I'm stressing out a lot and afraid my cat will die while I'm gone (it was so very helpfully pointed out to me that I could have him put to sleep before I left if I was that concerned... Hence part of my bad weekend.)
