march 6

I had planned on posting a monthly progress report on the goals I made for 2012, but I think it's going to be bi-monthly, as I missed January. At least I'm posting before March is over.

So, goals. Not doing so well on any of those so far. Yet again I seem to have lost my inspiration for writing fic, which isn't a good thing when I have two fest stories due at the end of the month. And I only have an idea for one of them.

I have been good about one thing — I've been restricting myself on fests big time. I've only signed up for three so far. A few have caught my eye, but I've held back.

I'm in an odd place emotionally. Right now I could really use writing as an escape, but I have trouble motivating myself to write. It's an ugly cycle. I'm going to try and bust my way out of it; I just feel off if I don't have a fic in progress. I keep pondering making a claim, but I'm not sure if that's such a good idea. It's so tempting, though. I'm also pondering doing a big bang, probably bdsm_fandom … Quick, someone talk me out of it!

Okay, moving past all the emo, whiny stuff. I've fallen head over heels for Lost Girl. Once I get caught up to the most recent episode I'm going in hunt of fanfic.

A belated thank you to scarletladyy x2, pale_moonlite, deirdre_aithne, thepretender501, and starduchess for the v-gifts! Getting them brightened my day :)

Aww, I'm sorry you've been struggling with writing and you're in an odd place emotionally *cuddles* I hope that picks up soon.

I've been trying to restrict myself with fests too, but I'm definitely not doing as good a job of it as you are!

And you're welcome ♥

*hugs* Thanks! Me too, but I think it's more just getting over everything and kickstarting myself. Too bad that's easier to write than do!

You always do a ton of fests; I'm in awe of your masterlist at the end of the year. It's hard to keep from signing up though ... so many are shiny!

I know what you mean, I've been having trouble with my writing motivation lately! Hugs hope you can get yourself kickstarted!

You have an excuse! You guys have been sick; hope you're both on the mend.

*hugs* Same to you.

I'll update on us later today; we're both recovering though :) Thanks!

Oh, I know exactly what you mean! I don't have any advice, but I see myself in everything that you write here...

*hugs* Sometimes it just helps to know you're not the only one!

Ack, sorry to hear about the writing issue. (The idea of Septima/Aurora is so incredibly exciting.)

Also, Lost Girl ♥♥♥

It's coming, I hope. Some ideas for that particular pairing are in my head, but they just won't come out. Sigh.

Yay! I'm excited to hear you like Lost Girl. I'm infatuated with it right now; I keep thinking of all the possible femslash pairings, haha. It's like all my urban fantasy books come to life.

I have the same thing with Wilhelmina/Pomona. I have these few little ideas, but nothing comes out. I'd really like it to! Maybe I should sign up for the rare pairs 13-thing.

So many possible femslash pairings and one-shot (one-episode) femslash pairings for that show, and so many could be/are canon, given the MC's pansexuality. Plus, I love Bo & Kenzi's best-friendship.

♥ the urban fantasy comment. I've been getting strangely into urban fantasy lately.
