why can't all the things that are in my head just be written, though? WORLD, WHY SO UNJUST? My SDMB in particular already exists in outline form, but now having written the outline I really wish it would just write itself.

Don't even talk to me about any of the other things I have foolishly signed up for. Or my BB, for that matter.

Anyone have a spare hole in the ground?

I started something titled "Wincest Coda" three days after the finale aired, hoping to have it finished in a day or two because I'd already posted my D/C coda and I like to be fair or something. The thing is now nearly 8000 words long, showing no signs of approaching its ending, and still doesn't have a real title.

I too wish things would write themselves.

I am highly jealous that you have an outine =P

This is how I feel about absolutely everything I write. *headdesk* Wanna share a hole? ;)

I accomplished 184 words of my springfling in the past week, and that's pretty much it LOL. Writing is haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard, yo

I have never had an outline. Ever. I just write something and hope it sprouts writing tentacles that connect to the next something.

Maybe if you wrote the outline on a scrap of paper and put it in a flowerpot on a sunny windowsill and watered it?

I've dug a lovely little hole over here, and you are quite welcome to join me. It's dark and dank, and piled high with deadlines.

You've got an outline for SDMB? Brilliant news. I don't even have the vaguest inkling of a plot.

and oh god bigbang. i post in just a few days and am nowhere near ready. eeep.

I am so there with you right now. I literally don't have any clue how I am going to finish all the things I have to finish, especially this week. I'm starting to really fucking panic.

Anyone have a spare hole in the ground?

We can share mine - mostly I just use it now to hide from my finals and the myriad of approaching deadlines but it's really just a multi-purpose kind of hole ;)

What I always want is a piece of software that will take my dictation, so that I can just pace up and down the room, flailing wildly and the computer will keep up. As it is however, voice recognition is so bad, that last time I told my phone to call "ANDY" (my brother) it somehow put me through to "UNI LIBRARY".*headdesk* I seriously don't want to know what that would make of a full dictation of fic or...say that paper I need to hand in tomorrow :(

*crawls back into hole*

edit: multi-purpose kind of hole sounds really wrong after reading it one more time...

The other day I was talking to my friend about the Space Odysseys, and I happened to remember a thing in 3001 called a Thoughtwriter. It's exactly what it sounds like, and I was just thinking about how many more of my WIPs would be finished--or significantly progressing--if I had something like that. Pretty much whenever I'm not focused on something else, I'm thinking about one of my stories, writing it in my head...it's just actually writing it for real that seems to never get done. :-\

Obstinatrix - I absolutely cannot wait to read your BB; I mean really, I bought your book after reading the SPN version - and you have your own 'fan' right here :)

I hope this is the encouragement I intended it to be, and not, OMG - high expectations :'l Because it will be amazing :D

There, I think I just managed to dig my own hole of embarrassment - you are now welcome to it! XD

Seriously though, the whole 'I have a great idea but can't write it down thing'? - My life is this right now, I mean, full on novel I am hoping to get published that involves angels and therefore calls for an SPN slash rewrite; but, it is all locked up in my head! D:
