I'm just really frustrated... I really had hoped to have a hell of a lot done by now, even if just in the first-draft phase. But it didn't happen; my last significant chunk was added over three weeks ago. Admittedly, it's been a busy three weeks, what with the Colorado trip, the gimpy two-year-old (who couldn't go back to preschool until yesterday) and Thanksgiving, but I really wanted to be further along, and now the Christmas stuff is starting up. And then, last night I FINally had a bit of time to sit in front of the computer, and the writer's block wouldn't go away.
And I shouldn't complain, because, as always, things could be a hell of a lot worse and I am counting my blessings. But the ducks, they nibbling.
Maybe I'll come up with something light and fluffy for a bit. Or one of those "20 facts about..." lists. It's just that one of my big problems in writing is actually finishing stories, and I really want to manage to finish this one. I think it's got potential to be very good; it's just that I sometimes get to the point that I feel that my execution doesn't live up to my expectations, and I get mad and threaten to nuke the whole thing.
