“Not dead yet!”

~ma to Drew for getting through all of details.

Typo, I could try that-- it's not dissimilar to what I do when I'm actually writing, since my pattern is that I generally start out writing and then five or six chapters in, I start writing a chapter by chapter outline, with all of the details and snippets.

Can't hurt to try at any rate, right? *sigh* This sucks, but all very First World diamond buckles too tight and I feel like a jerk for whining. Someone needs to just slap me around, I swear.

Drew, I'm sorry that these days the stress of someone's death is compounded by the stress of piles of paperwork. I'll be thinking of y'all.

Question for hivemind-- what do you do when you find yourself completely frozen?

What I did was start an LJ group [link] for people who weren't getting anything done. It's new, but it seems to be helping. I need to use it better, though.

Art Crawl!!!

How do you use that group? I need to set a number of goals in different areas and it might be helpful to have support like that.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

First we must spank you, and spank you well. And then we must spank all of us.

but I open the file and I just can't bring myself to add anything new to what's there.

maybe start a new file? Doesn't have to be stuff to be added, maybe some new stuff. You said that you had some ideas for new books, maybe start drafting proposals? Or go out for margaritas, whichever works ;)

You gonna hop a flight so we can go be intimidating at bars together? Hm?

I thought the idea was to chastise me for being a dolt. :-P

Sounds like a plan. Due to dad's injury, I might have a ticket to florida this weekend that's going to waste. *sigh*

I like the idea of spanking Barb between margaritas. Surely that will unfreeze things.

Barb, can you describe for me one of those thoughts you are having trouble getting down?
