Ugh

I have writer's block so bad this week it's not even funny.  I've managed to eek out 1326 words and that's it.  For someone who usually manages 10,000 to 12,000 words a week, that is not good.  Not good at all.  Maybe the words will find their way back to me tomorrow.  The kids are spending the night after T's birthday dinner with my parents and then all day Saturday, too.  I'll have uninterupted time to write so hopefully the words will flow.  This is just so frustrating.  Writing is what I do to bring my stress levels down.

On the bright side we're making up a lot of lost ground from being so sick last week on our homeschooling lessons.  That's something.  The kids are doing so much better.  Still not entirely well, though.  I swear I feel like I've had a cold since October.  And the snow isn't helping me feel any better either.

Maybe I should give up trying to make a work in progress go at the moment.

Anybody want to throw some fluff prompts my way?  Either Nine, Ten, or Ten2.  Or Jonathon, if anyone has an idea for a missing scene outtake of the cracky or silly variety.  All with Rose.  Donna, Martha, Mickey, Jackie or Jack (though Jack can hit on anyone being Jack) are allowed in a non-romantic with the Doctor or Rose capacity.  Not in the mood for angst, though hurt/comfort would be okay.  And sweet smut.  Not in the mood for dominant/possessive/jealous Nine, either (who said that?).  At least not if I have to write it.  Smutty drabble prompts with a certain scenario could work, too.

Using one of my new Dollhouse icons that apurplepatch made for me because I feel a bit like an echo of my former writing self.

*hugs you and sends you cookies*

I am sorry about the writer's block. I know that frustrates you.
*fingers crossed for your muse to return*

Ten 2 reading Hairy McLairy to Tony after ending up in Pete's world - Someone (Rose/Jackie/Pete) overhearing and their thoughts...

(If Ten 2 spontaneously gained a Scottish accent it would work too) If you need inspiration - I have a link to DT reading Hairy McLairy I can send you.

And I'm glad you like the icons!

I should rephrase (someone overhearing and their thoughts is probably best expressed with Rose overhearing and her reward to him for being so delicious)

It's definitely, definitely crack. Really nice, awesome, sugar-high induced crack. But crack nonetheless...

Donna is sick of walking in on awkward silences between the Doctor and Rose. Jack warns her about the trouble of playing with fire when it comes to the Doctor and Rose. Donna, being Donna, doesn't listen, and gets more than she bargained for.

>.< I dunno, I'm feeling uninspired. XD

Awwww *hugs* I hope your muse comes back to you soon

Sadly my prompts would be Donna/Lumin so probably not what you are looking for :-)

I'm open to looking at them if you have them.

Mostly it's interactions we don't see in Zeppelins - like after Donna learns about Lumin (theres a moment in chap 25 where she says he wants to stay in light form and she says it so casually id like to know more about that), her reaction to the submarine job too - id love to see more of that and also i'd love to see Donna and Lumin discussing Jonathon and Rose going to France. Just small moments between them that also show their relationship progression really.

Oh, so sorry that the muses aren't cooperating! :( That's just so frustrating! :( However, I'm still high-fiving you for the usual 10,000-12,000 words a week. *high-fives* Duuuuuude! ♥♥♥!!!

I'm terrible at offering prompts, sorry. My ideas always sound like total garbage! :( But I can send you a basket of virtual cookies and a coupon for a massage from Nine, how would that be? ;)

Seriously, though, hope you're able to get the words flowing again soon! :D *hugs* ♥!

I recently watched "Castrovalva" again and was completely floored by some dialog from that serial. It occurs after the newly regenerated and ill Doctor, Nyssa and Tegan have finally located the Zero Room, an environment in which he can begin to recover.

Tegan: It smells like roses.

Doctor: Yes. I've never quite understood why. It's quite peaceful, isn't it.


Perhaps a bit of Nine or Ten/Rose fluff can be teased out of that exchange?

*ahem*

Okay. Brace yourself.

*WHACK*
You have been struck by the muse. Go forth and create.

I feel your pain over writer's block. Mine's been going months strong despite the fact that I have ideas and inspiration. It's bizarre.

Hopefully you'll find a way around it!

And I love Dollhouse! Cute icon!

Oh and if you want, I'd be interested to see any time Jonathon helps and/or hinders Rose's studying

How about TenII/Rose, a weekend get away, and a forgotten road map.

*thinks very hard for an idea*

How about Nine and Rose have finished all the angsty/dramatic "making up" after Father's Day, and Nine decides they need a bit of lighthearted fun. Perhaps a picnic at a cute little playground or a trip to the zoo or something.

I know this is super-late (but I've been so busy lately I'm coming here maybe once a month), but I didn't realize you were homeschooling. Awesome! I was homeschooled from first grade onward, and I loved it. It definitely let me reach toward a lot of my potential that I wouldn't have otherwise made it to. I'm going to do it with my own kids someday (whenever I actually have kids to do it with!). Yay for homeschooling!

(not yay for exhausted college student who's still not catching up on sleep even though it's spring break...bleh...)
