Sigh

[deannie]

So, work has been kicking my butt and so has parenting. I'm just... starved for writing. I had a great time yesterday finishing my Not Prime Time fic, but it was killer stressful, because I was so close to deadline and just had no time before the last few days.

I stupidly signed up for all this writing this year and haven't done much, and it's making me feel like I'm failing. Stress is not supposed to be part of my writing! So I'm officially giving myself permission to write for fun and only for fun for the rest of the month. No assignments, no series worries, nothing. Just write everyday and only worry about writing for at least half an hour.

That said, here's my hc_bingo card. For inspiration, not expectation. 

 

backrubs / massages	deadline / time bomb	drugged	lost childhood	surgery
brainwashing / deprogramming	wings	arena	imprisonment	corporal punishment
cursed	tentacles	WILD CARD	extortion	hunger / starvation
poisoning	learning to be loved	CPR / rescue breathing	interrogation	orphans
humiliation	headaches / migraines	insomnia	protection	minor illness or injury

First up, you are not failing. And second of all, yes, go for the fun! It's good advice - I will even take it myself :D

Nice card! I'm pretty happy with mine overall, but I do rather covet your learning to be loved, headaches and time bomb. If it wasn't for the tentacles and wings I'd love that whole line... although, I've always thought if I got tentacles or wings I'd go for a) octopus attack and b) some horrific AU scene out of The Birds.

Memo to self: stop obsessing over other people's hc_bingo cards.

Good luck with it!

I've been in Hannibal fandom 4 months and have two WIPs already. I'm a terrible person :( I have made progress on them, though. And I have posted three complete stories, and for me, that's really good. Plus a few SGA this year!

You are not failing. You are overwhelmed and there is a huge difference. *hugs*

If you need a sounding board/venting session, I can take a break during the day (especially this week, since it's short) and we can kvetch on the phone for a half hour or so.

Ooh! Ooh! Wash/Zoe, learning to be loved! I have a hankering for some Gina Torres :)
