superhero_muses--Anyone suffering from a broken heart in your latest WiP?
Nope! My fics exist to fix broken hearts, on the whole, so they only exist in the middle of the story if at all. Pining is about as broken as I'm likely to go.
I ended up having to skip Yuletide this year--first because I don't have the time, and second because I keep getting assigned the same person in exchanges, I have for about 3 years now in a variety of exchanges, and although they're a really nice person I just feel like they're likely to be getting tired of fic by me for their gifts. I could have tried to jigger my offers to avoid it, but they always request the characters and pairings I love most! Considering I'm very unsure I could write anything worth the time to read this year, it seemed safest to just skip it.
I'm feeling really low because for the last few weeks all I've done is go to school, come home and work until I fall asleep, repeat. I can make a few gifs during my commute so I keep my hand in there, but there's no time for anything else, and I'm just... tired. I've got a couple of days off coming up and maybe I can get through some of my backlog of comments, including here, which is currently at over a thousand? Here's hoping, and here's hoping you're doing better!

Date: 2019-11-03 05:55 am (UTC)I found some writing time and also some answering-comments time today, so I'm happy about that! It's true, the writing really should come first--no one wants a writer to get so jammed with a backlog of comments that they stop writing! But I finished part of a chapter today--I thought it was the end of the chapter, but looking at it more closely, I think it needs a few more scenes. Still feels really good!
