hangover & plea for opinions
Sep. 4th, 2003 09:31 amOh dear lord. Worst hangover ever. Possibly first hangover ever. What in god's name was I thinking when I doubled my usual alcohol limit? Ah yes - I wasn't. *whimper* I hurt everywhere. I feel a billion years old. Lights are too bright and my head feels like it's full of ... clouds.
Had a lovely talk last evening with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sherdelune, trying to break out of writers' block. The boys (Will and Jack, this time) are in bed, smooching, clothing being removed. But I just want them to get on with it. Explicitly, but not too long. Maybe a page, maximum. Blech. It's impossible to write sex (badly or not) when I don't feel at all sexy. Must try to remedy that.
And the other stories keep popping back into my head, clamoring for attention. I must say, Harry and Remus are just attention hogs. I want this fic to be better though, to spend more time with the characters... I guess I need to start by rereading VS (*cringe*) and LC, and what I've written so far...
Anyone have any good character Q&As/memes/whatevers, to get back into the character's way of thinking? I swear I won't post them here and bore you all to death; I just need help getting back into their heads and figuring out where they're going.
And speaking of where they're going, I'd love some opinions on format -- if there are two distinct story-lines, as a reader, do you prefer to have them interwoven if they take place simultaneously and overlap, or separate them out into two individual fics?
I had started out all as one, with one story fading off as the other one picked up, but now I'm not sure that's giving due attention to each. (Of course, be forewarned that while I love advice, and often agree with it, I usually use it to figure out what I really wanted to do instead of always following it.)
