So I really should be doing other things right now, like sleeping or at least working on that new chapter of On Nightingale Hill that I promised all of you.  Instead, I'm indulging my crazy muse and pumping out a new ficlet inspired by Dido's Thank You, for which I got the idea ages ago though I never followed up on it.  For some reason a complete plot popped into my head earlier today, with like actual characters and dialogue and stuff, and now my muse refuses to let me think of ANYTHING other than putting this story on paper.

Do you guys ever have the problem of abandoning all your existing projects when a new idea seizes you?

[KrazyKelsey87]

Yes and no. I get those urges a lot but they never are a problem. I just tell my muse ok and get to work. That's why I have so many stories wtb only a chapter or two.

[FrickingKaos]

Yes! That's what happened with Figured You Out...(I know, I talk about this story too much probably) I have 3 or 4 other stories I'm working on already but the psycho fan idea would not leave me alone so I had to write it and post it...I was so scared to at first...becaus e I didn't think anyone would like it. But I come up with my best ideas at weird times of the night/morning! Insomnia FTW lol

Yes.. I have a very bad case of story ADD. I currently have four new stories all with one chapter written and a banner made, but I have yet to post on AC because I want to finish my in progress ones before I start posting new things. I know that if I post I'll lose my focus and never finish the ones that are halfway.

I usually don't do that but i'm making an exception today since I came up with an idea for a Nick birthday story and since tomorrow is Nick's birthday, I need to get working on that at some point today even though i'm the middle of a Lurks chapter lol

YES, same thing here! I got the idea to set the events during Nick's birthday, and now my muse keeps bothering me to write it by tomorrow. 

@Everyone else: Writing ADD sounds tough. I have enough trouble updating the two stories I have now, and I only started posting the second one because the first one went on hiatus after a hard drive crash and thought it was gone forever.

Hopefully I can finish this fic in the next day or so, and it can stop torturing me.

[mare]

lol so let's just blame Nick!! Again!

[julilly]

since tomorrow is Nick's birthday

Ugh I totally forgot about that. Him being 31 makes me feel exceptionally old!

[mare]

LOL I think we all feel that way.

I used to write a Nick birthday fic every year but haven't for awhile now. I usually forget it's his birthday until I hit mine! lol

[Mariah]

Haha, I am so guilty of this its not even funny. The funny is, crazy thoughts was started when I was 16, didn't finished it until 19, wrote 3 stories while I was finishing that one.

That's a good idea Mare! Is that going to be a challenge since its tomorrow? That'd be cool. I forgot too, my birthday's way more important than Nick's. That's right, ah said it!

[mare]

It probably would have been a good challenge but a little too last minute to make one now. Maybe we can do that for Brian instead. lol

[Mariah]

Brian  that might work.

[carterkid]

Yes!!!It happens to me all the time!That's why I have soooooooo many ideas and not much of a story.My muse always comes up with stuff AFTER I go to bed. 

[Chrissy]

Okay, guys, I did it!

First half of "In Which the Heroine Vows Never to Throw Anyone a Surprise Party Ever Again…" is here: http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10460

Expect the other half tomorrow.   It's really silly and wordy and like having a conversation with your BFF, but I had a lot of fun writing it~
