*sigh* I suck.

You'd think that getting a story accepted by a magazine would have fired up the Muses and got my writerly mojo going, right?

Hmph.

I think they took it as an excuse to go on vacation. *growls* Part of my problem may be that I'm vacillating back and forth between what I want to do with this damb story, and I've just about decided to go with BOTH plots and meld them together.

Whether I can do that in under five thousand words remains to be seen.

Okay. I shall move my business into the other room and see if I can't jump-start something. Because this is riduculous, y'all.

Word count on the A&tS fic, so far, to keep myself honest: 1557

I feel better now.

So, I sat down and wrote for the last five-or-so hours, with minimal distractions, and managed to bang out over a thousand words. Which doesn't really seem like all that much, but considering the fact that I'm happy if I do 250 words in a day...yeah, it's shiny, and I'll take it.

I just need to figure out how I'm going to end this thing. I'll sleep on it, I guess. *ponders how you'd crucify an octopus-sort-of creature*

Word count: 2633

Looks like I'm going to finish well within the maximum word count. Go, me.
