1) Holidays = insane. Again. I was going to make presents - and I still plan to - but they may be Chinese New Year presents at this point.

2) Cards = This yeah I'm only doing them for people I have addresses for and talk to a lot. You probably know who you are.

While I love that my f-list is so generous and awesome, I've sent out over 100 cards for the last two years, and I simply can't afford that much postage, let alone the actual cards. My apologies.

3) I haven't written a word in two weeks. I think it's time to find the Viking helmet and go to battle against writer's block.

Mostly it's that my couple is having a very bad spot in their relationship and I love them and don't want them to be sad, but oh, they are sad. Some writers are good at hurting their characters. For me, it feels too personal and I hurt when they do.

4) The thankfulness meme has been kind of amazing. It puts me into a positive-thoughts mood for the rest of the day, and makes me thankful for things I take for granted. I totally recommend it, even if you only do it from now til the end of the month.

is there anything we can do to help cheer your boys up and help them through their rough patch?

Well, I have the novel plaotted out and good things are coming later - I'd never write a sad ending. Just, life has low points, you know? And they're in one. I clearly identify too much with my boys. :)

*hug* And thank you. It's so nice to have other authors who know what a struggle writing can be.

can definately relate.

im struggling at present to get my boys to hook up for a prequel to how they met for the threesome fic im working on hopefully for dreamspinners.

know what i want to happen but getting them to meet in the bookstore is proving akward at the moment.

lol so am writing john/scott smut with some added crossdressing as ive not done any smut for them for a while

I can't believe there's a month until Christmas. I'm so not ready.

I'm completely in love with your Viking helmet now. ♥

For me, it feels too personal and I hurt when they do

YES. Good luck with your block. I tried to write last week for the first time in forever. It wasn't pretty.

I haven't been on LJ this week because of RL craziness but I've been continuing the thankfulness meme in my head. I know I've said it before but really, truly, thank you for getting me onto that, because it's really helped keep me positive.

*hugs*

I am not going to be ready this time. I emailed everyone I was making stuff for and told them they might get them for Valentine's Day.

I'm glad the meme helped you - it was surprisingly rewarding for me to do, too. I will have to remember it the next time I get blue.
