Okay. Having spent most of the last two nights tooling with CSS, I think this journal is pretty much looking the way I want it to right now.

Gah. Neeervous about the whole weissday thing. So far it's proved counterproductive as far as getting me to write goes - I've been worried I might get into a groove for one of my WIPs and then have to abandon it while it's looking promising for weissday, so I'm not really writing anything at all. Well, I managed a couple of RP posts and wrote a few lines of Abkürzen but I'm not at all sure that actually counts. (Because it doesn't.)

Still, we should be getting the assignments within ther next couple of days. At least once I've got the prompt I can stop worrying about what I'm going to end up writing about. I hope I get something decent, but I'd settle for something that I could actually write.

Yeah, I'm kind of worried about screwing up.

I know fretting like this over a fic exchange is daft, but I'm doing it anyway.

Speaking of fic and my WIPs, I've got the weirdest idea that it might be a good idea to set up a community for Weiss ficcers with works in progress. I have no idea what would happen when you got there, but I was thinking maybe some kind of - timescale thing could be set up for people to work to as regards getting chapter drafts or one-shots out. I know some people out there like to work to a timescale - I certainly seem to work harder if I know that I have to finish something by X-Day or THE WORLD WILL PERISH - and maybe making the goals public would help.

Yeah, it is a very vague idea and I suspect it probably wouldn't work at all in practice. But it is nonetheless An Idea.

Unfortunately I know damn near nothing about running a community and suspect that one might take rather more active moderation than many. Still, it might be interesting to set it up anyway and see what happens.

Or maybe I just need to start using reset_to_zero as a fic journal and try and post at least one piece or chapter part every month. That might be it. After all, not everyone is a spacy spaz who procrastinates for their country and habitually oversleeps. I guess I'll see what happens with The Dreaded weissday. If it turns out that the deadline does help me, I'll just have to start imposing deadlines for other thinmgs as well. I need to get Seuche finished sometime before the Last Trump, after all.

... however, I am in no state to do it right now. I would go upstairs and try and write a bit before John comes round but I, predictably, am tired. I had a bad night and therapy was slightly more unsettling than usual, and what I really really need right now is not for the Muse to decend upon me, but marmite on toast and a couple of hours' sleep.

What does it say about me that I think It's So Easy is soothing music for my frazzled mind?
