I don't know what it is, but I haven't felt like doing anything this semester. I have to force myself to do homework, and to pay attention in class. It's still (relatively) the beginning of the semester, and this is usually when I'm at my best. I don't even want to think about what kind of slacking I'll be doing at the end of the semester.

a;djfa;kssa I have yet to read the latest One Piece chapter (I think it's out for download?), but I have read about it, so stop if you don't like spoilers:
r.i.p. ace! we will miss you ;_;

*
I have not given up on my fanfics! I continue to write, and to be plagued with the feeling that I'm writing everyone OOC. But I was thinking of posting sort of experimentally on another site, and seeing if people give me constructive criticism (specifically on how to get the character's speech patterns down).

*
I am sadly addicted to twitter. I use it to complain and rec things, and talk about which television shows I'm watching. And read about what DH is up to. *is pathetic*

I should go now, since I have homework that's due at 11:30.

i'm sorry it's been like that for you. D: but i hope you'll get it all figured out, get some motivation - or at least for things to get better, and easier. *massive hugs*

what fandoms are you now writing in? sga? because i'd be happy to help with the speech patterns/etc as long as i know the characters well enough.

OH GOD TWITTER. there's hardly a time when i'm not logged in. but it's very good for ~~stalking dh and misha~~ randomly sharing small things you wouldn't really talk about anywhere else (ie. livejournal). it's really quite pathetic how gleeful i get everytime dh posts something, especially when it's about his family - he's just so adorable. :D

Aww, thank you! I hope I find some motivation as well, because college is kind of important >.< This has never happened to me so early in a semester before, so I'm sort of floundering.

Mmhmm, SGA. Really, that's the only fandom I'm participating in; there's just so much fic and I want to read it all, which means I have no time for other fandoms. And, of course, I'm trying to write McKay/Sheppard, but as I sad before: I can't get the voices right. Their ways of speaking, the order they put their words in...*sad*

randomly sharing small things you wouldn't really talk about anywhere else
YES, EXACTLY. It's perfect for the little things ~~and stalking~~. A great way to find out how your friends are/what their doing without a large post.

Oh man, every time DH mentions his son I get all mushy and I want to hug him. Adorable really is the best word for him. I feel sad for the people out there that don't know who he is; it's hard to explain his awesomeness unless they're familiar with both his work and his personality. I've tried!

yeah, i've always got a hard time with the voices, too. it's a lot harder than them thinking, because with that, you can take a few liberties, but not with how they actually talk. that's why i always like writing dialogue the least, unless it's for characters i'm confident i can actually write.

oh god, i know! and heeee, you saw this, right? SO FREAKING AWESOME. seriously. when i first saw it i just wanted to go all OMG PEOPLE HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO THIS MAN IS, because seriously, isn't he the best ever? :D

Yes! You put the problem into words perfectly. But I've decided to just write and not bother worrying about how everything sounds; I've heard about some of the fics that are posted on Wraitbait, and if those people are brave enough to post...
You haven't written a fic I didn't love though. You always have a good handle on the characters.

YES, I SAW. His hair, it's all fluffy and sticking up xDD I want to ruffle it and kiss his cheek. Have you seen the one where he has Baz's underwear on his head?

yay, good for you! besides, once you've actually gone and written it, it's easy to change a few things here and there to make it better, if changes even need to be made. i've noticed that stuff like that (dialogue, characterization) comes much more naturally when you don't think about it so much, because if you do, you only start thinking too much, you analyze every little word and that's not good. but awwwh, really? thank you. ♥

asd,lakjfklds;lkjfldsjf oh my goodness, no. i don't think so, at least. i mean, for fuck's sake, i'd remember something as adorable as that, wouldn't i? do you have a link? *bats eyelashes* :D

That's very true. Wasn't there some famous author that suggested when writing,don't edit as you go along, but go back once you're finished? Haha, I think that might be my problem: I think about it too much. But I feel better after talking to you, so. You're welcome ♥ It's the truth!

Here's a link. Oh Hewlett, why so awesome? Baz's Underpants + Pacifer = Adorable & Awesome.

that sounds familiar, so probably, yeah. but i'm glad i could be of some help! i know it's hard to stop thinking about it too much, because the thinking's probably the reason for my never-ending writer's block, but maybe it'd help if whenever you start analyzing stuff, you tell yourself, well, that's something i'll come back to once i've written this next bit here, and on and on and on, and so that'd maybe be a way to do both at the same time.

OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD.

asljfkls;alkfjsl;alkfjdlsfjs OH MY GOD HOW IS HE SO ADORABLE? HOW CAN SUCH AWESOME EXIST IN THIS WORLD? asd;alkjfls so freaking cute, ahhhhhhh. ♥

Talking to you really has helped, and now I'm actually getting fics done, which is amazing for me. I'll probably hate every bit of it once I'm finished, but at the moment I'm quite happy with it. So thank you, I can't put into words how grateful I am. I feel FREE.

ad;kjfa;k INORITE? HE WAS SUCKING ON BAZ'S PACIFIER. HE HAD HIS LITTLE DOG! ♥ God, I want to hug that man so badly. I bet he gives great hugs too *wistful sigh*

i'm SO glad i could help you. seriously. hee, i'm just really happy you're able to write again! ♥ you'll be posting them once you're done, though, right right right? i want to read your sga fics, hee. :)

asfdjkls oh, i'm sure he does. all warm and all-encompassing, the kind you can happily put your whole body into (lol, that sounds almost dirty :D) - the best kind. GOD, I SO WANT TO GO TO A CON JUST SO THAT I COULD HUG HIM. :D

i feel better about what i'm writing as well. talking to you is so cathartic *hug* of course I'll post them once I'm done! haha, you make me blush, they probably won't be that good when I first start out XD

yes yes yes! hugs just like that, so comfortable and warm and safe. i'm all for dirty thoughts in connection to teh hewlett JSD;KFA yes! go to a con and see him and talk to him, and get an autograph and a HUG.

hee, then feel free to talk to me anytime! :D and don't worry, that's what practice is for - the first few tries might not be entirely what you were looking to write, but that comes with time. and besides, i believe you'll do brilliantly already. :)

SAFE YES YES YES that's exactly the word ohgosh. haha, that's what's most fun in life, after all :D -and askfjlds TALKING TO HIM OH MY GOD though i probably wouldn't be able say anything at all other than some odd random mumbling here and there. :D
