i can has rant?

*joins the mob*

Writing a fic about a character that I just don't like is frustratingly difficult. I'm trying to find something sympathetic about her. Ugh.
(And my story will be late, but at least the mods at the femgenficathon haven't posted anything about taking away any future progeny if I don't post on time. They haven't yet told me I'm allowed to post late, but lots of stories last year were posted late, so hopefully the basic operating policy is the same now.)

Surprise walk-through evaluations at work: normally fine. Today... not so much. Blech.

Grading tests. Paying bills. Making lesson plans for work. Making plans and handouts for activity night. Cooking something so that I don't starve to death. Somehow I'm supposed to fit all of these things into one evening. (This would be part of the reason why fanfic is not going to be done on time. Real life takes precedence.)

*is done with rant*
*actually, no. is done with time to write and post a rant*

*clings* Me too, me too! I actually had it written on my calendar as October 15th, but I figured it out almost a week ago, and... wrote an outline, and... spent this weekend in which I had nothing to do just staring at my outline and moping about it. (Well, not literally the whole weekend - but you know what I mean.) I'm like, trying to figure out the next block of time I'll have before this weekend and not coming up with anything. Don't fail me, mods!

And, uh, I'm writing about Athena. So I feel your pain. *whimper*

I actually e-mailed one of the mods the other day but haven't heard back yet. (Oh, and me too--I somehow thought the due date was later in October until about a week ago!)

And, uh, I'm writing about Athena. So I feel your pain. *whimper*

I'm writing about D'Anna.
*wins the 'my character is way more horrible than yours' contest*

Apparently I'm feeling competitive about the unsympathetic nature of TV characters. Ugh, so maybe I lose after all. ;-)

I was finally beginning to feel a connection with Athena... and then she shot Natalie. Well. I wish you luck!

Writing a character you don't have a feel for is hard. You gotta find something. Anything. The only thing harder is writing a character you are bored with. Or vidding in any of these situations. Goodness.

I don't understand this freaking RL, either. How am I supposed to feed myself every single day? I can't always think of something good and nutritious. And edible. And what the heck? Bills? Like every month? Sometimes I pay in advance because it's like too frequent.

RL needs to slow the frak down so that I can FINISH MY FANFIC STORIES AND MAKE LOTSA VIDS. And eat chocolate. :-)

I am sorry you have no time to properly rant. But I think I did a little above for ya. ;-)

I KNOW! And this body just keeps needing food! Like, over and over again!

*sigh* This week only got crazier, by the way. I'm about to go answer your e-mail, then grade more tests. And work on more lesson plans. And pay a few more bills.
