People think it would be fun to be a bird because you could fly. But they forget the negative side, which is the preening.

Aphrodite's Laughter is going to be my problem child. At least the beginning of it has been. I've been wanting to write this story for a long time, even refusing to let other ideas take seed in my brain (Hilltop Girls is the only other one to get an inkling of a start), but it REFUSES to let me get the prologue written, I've even skipped it to work on the first chapter and well that one is being a pain too.

Don't you hate when that happens? lol I'd never get it written, because I can't sip chapters in a story, otherwise I'll never go back and write the ones I skipped. lol

Going back to the topic at-hand, I know how you feel, Dee.  I felt like that with BMS too, although not as bad.  And now that it's over, I kinda enjoy being able to veg out and do nothing with my free time without the guilty feeling that I should at least be trying to write... but at the same time, I miss having BMS to write.  It's boring without BMS, and while I have other projects I could be working on, I'm not really inspired for any of them yet.

Yes, topic at hand!  I felt the same way.  I started writing In Pieces with a clear idea of where I wanted to it go, and then my characters kind of... changed that.  I went a little while without updates on it because I didn't know what to do.  Now that I've figured it out, I've got my inspiration back.  But... Nick and Ashleigh really pissed me off for a while!

I've had that issue, too, so I totally know how you feel.  I have a a story I have been trying to finish forever it seems.  I haven't gone back to it in I don't know how long.  The darn characters are going to make me crazy!  I'm hoping that my current project (editing old stuff to post here) will help get me out of the rut and get the characters to cooperate.

That's exactly how I got here, re-writing and editing old stuff... and now I'm ignoring my old story (Not Like We Predicted) for my new ideas. Gah! lol

Aw, I'm not allowed to hijack a thread I started? :( lol

It's actually just fine now that there's just the last two chapters, ironically enough. lol I don't have physical time to write them at this moment, but I'm secretly glad, because I wasn't going to post them until March 25th anyway. lol And I'd hate for them to sit around on my computer while I antsly waited for the day I wanted. lol Maybe we can talk about that when I'm done and waiting to post them... since you did that with BMS too. ;)

You know what you could do with your free time? lol Read. That sounds like a plan. ;) And eh, after you worked on something for as long as you worked on those two stories, I feel like you deserve the well-earned veg time. ;D
