ready to give up
2/3/11 08:50 pmThe story I worked so hard on is dead in the water and it's really bringing me down. I've been trying not to whine and cry here but I just can't hold it in anymore.
The Beloved Niece gave me pointers and peptalks and ideas but still. I think I'm stymied at the thought of rewriting major portions of it. Huge portions. *sigh* I don't want to, I'm too lazy to. No one's read it so no one is waiting for new bits and...blaaaaaargh.
I feel like I'm back in school. *pout*
I was so swamped in self-pity, whining and snotting all over the place, that I decided to delete my LJ and never worry about this kind of thing again as Bob is my witless. But Comcast said "no internet for the rest of the evening for you, my friend" and I couldn't so I didn't. That, plus guilt, not to mention that it really is kind of stupid to delete the damn thing when all I have to do is walk away from it, kept me from doing it this morning (well, that and some excellent stories).
And of course without an LJ, I'd be deprived of the overwhelming pleasure you get from the occasional comment on an old story. Which by the way if you're lurking here, step up and comment, damn it, my ego is taking a beating!

2/4/11 02:32 am (UTC)So, yeah, S, STOP IT! We love you for *you*! The stories are awesome, muy muy awesome, but don't throw in the towel just yet. I have faith that you'll slap the shit out of this story (is it Diamond Dogs?) and get it back to behavin' 'neath your spiky boot heel.
To cheer you up, the thought occurred that I might give you a sneak peek at my Four Brothers fic. . . if you're interested. Anything to bribe my roxy. *SQUEEZES you and never lets you go*
ETA: You make me tear up, my precious Snuggles, and you do it better than anyone else. You made me create an lj account in the first place, just so I could be cool and
gushcomment with a userpic like you. Don't even joke about this stuff, and, yes, I now know how it feels. :/ I'm on the other side of it now, though, and, hon? You will be, too, you know.God, I love you! Ferris Bueller, you're my hero!!!

2/4/11 06:32 pm (UTC)I'd *love* for a sneak peek at your FB fic, it would make me very happy. :) I'm going to give my story a serious read over and see what it needs, maybe over the weekend, when I'm less worried about minor things.
*CLINGS* Love you too, even though you compare me to a short pudgy furry bear. I'll have you know I'm a short, pudgy, furry human. Who looks slightly bear-like...*KISSES!!!*
