THIS IS HOW THE FIC WILL END.

[pez]

I am writing a fic that is currently 3500 words long and should have ended 3500 words ago. Why am I even writing it, I ask myself. (The answer is: I just want to write the final scene.) Why is every fic I write a bit worse than the previous one, I ask myself. (The answer is: suckage needs no explanation.) Why are my D1 so un-D1-like, I ask myself. (The answer is: they're tricking me.)

(I'm so good at blaming everyone and everything else.)

Contemplating trimming down the flist. It's not something I usually talk about, I kinda just go and hit defriend rather than make a post giving reasons/telling people to say aye. But there are people who I comment to every now and then, but they don't reply to my comments or comment on my entries. That's saying something, right? I should take the hint and bugger out of people's lives, hmm?

Turning attention back to work. And fic. Oh fic, why don't you just self-destruct?

I am currently writing a fic which is 14,000 words long and was meant to be a humorous drabble explaining why all these random characters were living together in Sims 2 (when I was still playing them that way 2 years ago).

I've heard that there is a risk with short stories generally of essentially writing the same thing over and over which maybe makes it harder to approach stuff with a fresh eye?

Oh wow. XD

Mine is not supposed to be particularly short or long... it probably just is not supposed to be. Shouldn't exist. Bad idea.
