wtf, omgosh!!!

It's panic time. I've written 18000 words, more or less, on my SpNBB and now I'm not sure about this story at all and if I can move forward or--anything!! I'm panicking all over the place and ready to drop kick it. I have other stories I've started and stuttered on but they could probably be up to speed by check-in.

I just don't know what to do. How should I handle this? Should I work on the possible replacement story and set a time limit to get to a certain word count or just plug away at the story I'm stuck on now? I was thinking on the fic I'm working on now to plunge on from the beginning to the end and then try and clean up and make it pretty. Part of my problem is the way I envisioned the fic in the beginning required a bunch of OCs and now I find I don't *want* to write the OCs. But cutting the OCs out at this point really kills major parts of the story that I did manage to write--big rewrites. Which would make this the third rewrite on the beginning part, lol!! I'm getting so hung up on that part that the rest is wandering in the dark and the first part wasn't even supposed to be that big. Oy.

Ugh. Thanks for letting me bitch here. If you have some advice, I'd be so happy to hear it.

I keep telling myself that but the more I work on it, the worse it seems to get. I walk away from it, but when I sidle up to it again, it just sneers at me. Maybe I'll just change the whole thing--make Sam and Dean into kitties. Talking kitties who fight crime. With magic bagels.

Oooh, I'd read that!

NO!! No talking kitties!! no magic bagels! Unless they're magic bagpipes...and maybe they're centaurs instead of kitties, yeah. Crime-fighting, bagpipe-playing centaurs--ooh, no wait! They're stripper centaurs, out to save the world one piece of clothing at a time. And since they're basically big horses, a kilt and a sash, maybe a vest...

Hahahaha! Oh, now there's an image. The bagpipes make the whole thing work!

on a horse...? That's a lot of codpiece. And a *lot* of cod...what? Really?

I've been told there's no cod in codpieces...hunh. Who knew!
