Life Viewed Through an Amber Focus

I'm trying to get my equalibrium back and actually write on some of my fanfic, but I'm being overwhelmed by three different original stories. One of them I have been working on for years. I mean, like since 1998. And I could never figure out how to open it. It was one of those things that I started writing in the middle. Guess who figured out how to open it this month?

There's another I've been working on off and on for the last year and then there's the one that I think will actually get finished and possibly go somewhere at some point and is actually more like a novel and its sequel. It wants to be a trilogy, but there isn't enough story for that I don't think.

So between original novel writing and taking care of the livestock and homeschooling and preparing the garden, I just have no idea about any of my DW WIPs right now. I'm a little apathetic because of season 7B and I think it might take me a bit longer for my normal override of reverting to shipper's headcanon kicks in. This has basically happened to me after every series since the David Tennant specials started airing so I guess I should expect it. It's frustrating though. I don't like leaving stories hanging. But it's just not where the muse is at.

I am glad that I am writing at all. Especially on the one story. Because the idea is fresh and I haven't seen it and I want to do it. I've just not been in the proper head space for it until now. I just want it out of my head and down on paper (or Word document, technically).
