I try too hard sometimes, I think, and work myself into a tizzy over stories. I *know* this one is okay, or will be once I stop being a baby and finish it. But I've worked so hard at, and changed so many things, that I've convinced myself it sucks.

Even though Sky and my sister liked the first few pages. Bah. Sammie will get it today, because she's the only one allowed to read my crappy stuff, and if she tells me I'm an idiot I will finish it tonight and send it off for final beta'ing.

Sorry. I meant to have it posted yesterday. But assuming all goes well, it will be up tomorrow.

I also can't seem to settle on a freakin' fairytale. So far I have the first five pages of rewrites for The Princess and the Pea, Twelve Dancing Princesses, Hansel and Gretel, The Little Mermaid, and a whacked-out spin off of Sleeping Beauty that Ki-chan for some reason adores. But I can't settle on any of them long enough to finish the damned things. I know it seems like I never do much writing (not nearly as much as I should), but I am always poking at something.

Meh. I wrote 20+ pages of The Knight and the Statue, and need only a page or two more if Sammie says 'yay' and not 'wtf is this crap?'

Anyway. Trouble with fairytales. I think my coping mechanism is to start something new everytime I have trouble with other stories. I really need to find a new mechanism. Because this morning I woke up with The Pied Piper running about in my head. And someone named Magellan has been bothering me. No idea who the fuck he is, except that he's a smartass.

Christ I need to shut up. This is what happens when Megan wakes up at four o'clock and has nothing better to do than fret and/or type.



I can't sleep. I don't know what it is, but since I have moved into this house I consistently wake up between 3-4 every morning and never completely go back to sleep. I really really really wish it would stop >_< Even on the weekends, I wake up earlier than I like. I used to sleep in 'til nine or ten, now I wake up at 7:30 and can't go back to sleep. 7:30! On the weekend! CRIMINAL.

On the brightside, it's supposed to get up to 78 degrees today. AND AND AND my dad ^_^ bought me the rest of Heat Guy J!!! So sometimes this week/weekend I will watch the rest, and then convince Sarah she needs to watch it so I have an excuse to watch it all over again ^_~

Need more coffee.

fretting and typing are two of the things I do best =D Never shut up.

I'm having the same sleep issues. I tend to go to bed around 2 or 3 and get up at 6, this has been constant for a few weeks, today however I got up just before 7 (having gone to bed around 1), so that's a little improvement.

I know we are ultra-sensitive mutants of some variety and there is a signal being broadcast that only we can hear all over the world. It's some mystic, cryptic thing that we try to decipher subconsciously during our waking hours.

yeah, that's it =D

I need prozac. =/

You have no idea how thrilled I was to finally see a decent sized post from you XD Fret all you need. Also a yaoi version of the Pied Piper sounds neat. Not to encourage the starting of new projects without finishing old ones. I love everything you write.

Have a good day! <3

*loves*

I've read the Pied Piper all of three times, and not for years. Why this suddenly entered my head, I don't know. But it's all there, I just need to sit down and write it.

You too! Good luck with everything.

Have sorta worked my way through most of what I haven't read. Trey? Is a very cool character. I heart him muchlies.

But alas, I must now head to class, so I must finish it later. I'll let you know, but so far, it's definitely looking like a 'yay'.

it just fucking ended

Where's the rest?!

You can't just leave me hanging like that. How the hell am I supposed to approve anything if I don't have the full content to work with?

Oops. I meant to say it wasn't finished. The rest of it is still kinda rough ^^; Plus I wanted to know that what I did have was worth my writing the rest.

So does this mean its good? I'll send you the rest when I get home?

I keep wanting to type *flees* ^^;

You did tell me that. Really, I was surprised it ended where it did. Simply because I was kinda hope to reach an entirely different point before it just fucking ended.

I have to wait 'til you get home?!

Goddamn I hate you. Now I've got to wait all the rest of the damned day to get it.

merg, Meggie. Merg.

I'm sorry you can't sleep much, but maybe it's just because it's so big a place? And the smell of paint is making you hyper? Or maybe it's kitties sending you mental "WAKE UP!" waves?

You know, it's funny, but I was just reading your stories at Amasour yesterday. I'll have you know that I STILL adore "Tower" and "Main Gauche".

Heee ^_^ Glad you still like them. Of course, now I'm reminded I need to update my website >_>

It could be that I'm not used to such an open space. I'm used to living with more people, just S and myself still throws me.

You don't have to do that. I'll just keep ogling everything from LJ.

If there's too much space, you could always invite people over... ^_^

Not to be a bad influence, but try some Nyquil. That might get you a good nights rest -- and clear up any nasal congenstion you may have.

You dad is cool. My dad calls all anime characters Gundams.

Nyquil = Mortal Enemy #3. We don't get along so well, though it's getting to the point I'm about to wave a white flag and see it we can't form a truce.

Heh. I'm a spoiled brat. And we're slowly but surely getting my dad edumacated in the ways of Anime.

Of course, I'm a morning person.
