You are officially not slacking. Refer any naysayers to me.
I'm glad you went to the UC; here's hoping the head powers down quickly!
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?
Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My bottom HURTS where they gave me the shot! It didn't hurt when I got it, but damn if it doesn't hurt now. My butt is a delicate flower.

Slide some ice from your hoo-ha to your, um, delicate flower...

STEPH. You are not a slacker. I understand your fears and the brain raccoons that are telling you this, but YOU. ARE. NOT. Give yourself some space and time to completely veg out, because you need to.

Something you need to work into your vows, maybe?

That sounds like a line from Steph's next editorial test.
I hope the shot helps your head soon, Steph.
Laura and Bonny, I'm sorry your days have been so stressful.

And in a completely separate post: I need a pep talk or something. I have a little over 3 weeks of earning a paycheck while not having any day job responsibilities. This is a gift of time that I need to be using to finish the novel, and I know it. I am just having a little bit of a problem actually, oh, sitting down and writing. Because stage fright and Self-Esteem Demons and if it isn't good and doesn't sell OMG I'm letting everyone down. (Hi, I have baggage.)

You guys, it's beyond my knowledge base. Seriously. It is doctorate-level shit. I am out of my depth with this one. I'll still do the test, and give it my best, but I read it and just went O_o. Granted, my head is exploding, but...yeah. It's above my knowledge base, I think. We'll see.
Steph, your head is exploding. Try taking a look at it once the migraine has calmed down.
And Jilli, go write! I am trying to remind myself to write whenever I have time, even if I can only sketch out a scene. Better to get it out of my head and onto the page.

Jilli,
Have you tried the pomodoro method? Whenever I have a case of the "don't wannas", a serious block, or whatever, the pomodoro method keeps me in line. It is easy, you can get started right away, and you count your progress in 25 min increments.
