Challenge #5


In your own space, talk about an idea you wish you had the time / talent / energy to do. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Funnily a few days ago I made a post with some of my wips, most of which have just been languishing.

Generally my main issue with writing lately is energy and block, which has been annoying. This is also coupled with a more ideas popping into my head. Entering a new fandom has meant I’ve had ideas keep coming as I watch new stuff, and I’ve noted some things down…. And then something else will pop into my head. Oop.

(I also had a big DreamSMP thing that I made notes of but haven’t got anywhere yet, mainly cause I think I need more notes cause it’s the kinda thing that needs both planning and sticking to so… we’ll see.)

Currently my main ‘to do’ list
*Finishing the top Sapnap fic
*Finishing the Gerard/Maxx fic
*Doing a Quackity/Glamrock Freddy thing
*(I know I have something that I’m missing but my head is kinda forgetting what that is)

Those are the specific ones that ai have but I have others that are just… vague.

But I also know if Kill The Lights or Set It Off do a music video I’ll just have to do something with that.

Unrelated to that but another thing I wish I could do is art. I always admire the skills that artists have but I can’t do it myself (other than basic things, like sheeps and hearts). Artists are amazing.

I’ll likely do a late song Saturday later with some other rambly thoughts so I’ll add a link here when I do it.

Edit: belated song Saturday is here

Artists ARE amazing! Like a while other species than me, amazing!

Good luck with your WiPs. Admitting you have a problem is the first step. 🤣🤣

[shadowhive]

They really are! I dunno how they do it and I’m always so in awe

Aww thank, heee most of them have been lying around for…. A time

[dreamersdare]

Sheep are basic art? How so?

(Guess who cannot draw sheep...)

[shadowhive]

Kinda! He’s a step by step guide


Step 1: draw cloud shape
Step 2: add lines for legs
Step 3: make head
Step 4: baa!

[dreamersdare]

*laughs* clearly a sheep! Thanks hon (step 3; I would go wrong at step 3)

I do have a method for drawing a little cartoony dog thing that I basically have had down pat since I was a kid. But that's literally it. My skills are weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak :)

[shadowhive]

It’s oki! Yeah heads are tricky 😄

Aww that’s cute! And me too

[writedragon]

Low energy and blocks ARE annoying. And why do the plot bunnies multiply when we are feeling low on fuel? I hear you.

[carrythefire]

I totally get the burnout/energy. I have loads of ideas but no motivation to write them. Still in the same fandoms as always but constantly getting fresh ideas. It's annoying! I have a really good EF one I want to write but then I also still need to prioritise your Christmas fic! (Speaking of which, any more concrete ideas/wants?) I also need to find that list of things I want to write...I know it's in a message to you somewhere but DW is so shit for messages lol

[shadowhive]

Yeah ideas tend to strike when there’s no energy to do them! I really wish I could remember what the other idea was you mentioned, or even just a hint. Searching messages is hard but I have the email versions so I can look there if there’s a word you remember

My brain is still mush (brain why can you give me ideas but not give ideas for others) but anything with Jay, watersports and cock cages would be nice

[carrythefire]

Well I know that Parasite fic is something I want to write at some point! I can't remember any of the others, the only concrete idea I remember is that one. The Ember Falls idea is one I got fairly recently, after hearing the new album.

Well I'm fairly certain the Parasite fic was in the list! But I'll have a look tomorrow.

Too many bunnies, not enough brain. Sufficient of both would be so lovely!

[shadowhive]

Yeah definitely! And not enough writing energies

[turps]

I agree, artists are amazing.

Good luck with your WIPs!

[shadowhive]

They are!

Aww thanks!

[turlough]

I hope the coming year will let you regain your writing energy and overcome your block. ALL the good luck!

Artists are amazing!

[shadowhive]

Aww thank I hope so too! You’re so sweet *hugs*

They really are!
