I hate my fiction. I hate my fiction. I hate my fiction.

Um. Let me rephrase.

I hate my fictional characters. I hate my fictional characters. I hate my fictional characters.

Yukiko is wibbling and mucking up my story flow and then randomly snarking at inappropriate moments when she's supposed to be focused and determined and making clever plans. *thwaps Yukiko*

Ginny and Tom are bound and determined to have conversations about ghost stories and Ancient Egyptian myths. They are supposed to be making a nice, smooth transition to Christmas dinner so Ginny can notice the trio behaving suspiciously, go to Myrtle's bathroom, and eavesdrop from behind Sir Vladislav until she learns about the whole Polyjuice/Malfoy/cat fiasco. I cannot write that until Tom and Ginny stop going off on their stupid tangents. *thwaps Tom and Ginny*

Neville is flat-out refusing to explain anything to anybody, so 'Aphrodisia' is completely stalled.

Naruto and Sasuke can't agree which of them should narrate the next bit of 'Tension, Before,' and 'First Steps,' so I can't write that either.

And Ekanu has gone wandering off somewhere in the eastern Estarian hill country and claims she's taking a mental health break at an old Akhite temple. I am not supposed to bug her about 'Harvest' or any other unfinished stories.

*thwaps characters in general*

I hate writing.

I really, truly hate writing.

No no! When I hate writing, there are only ever three reasons: 1) the words just aren't coming; 2) the wrong words are coming; 3) I have too many words and not enough time/energy to get them all out of my head. In case #1, yeah, I just sit back and try again in a few days.

But this is a combination of cases #2 and #3. Trying not to write doesn't help at all -- I just keep getting more ideas -- so the only thing to do is shove them on paper all half-assed (because of #2) and wait for the flood to ebb and my thoughts to straighten out again. :-)
