This no tumblr thing is annoying but also enlightening. Every time I get stuck with my story I have this urge to check out tumblr and see what's going on there. Then I remember today we're boycotting the site. Which is fine. It's the very least I can do. But, I'm finding I really want a distraction. So, here I am. I have a feeling this blog is going to be used much differently than my tumblr. You actually have to post something to participate for starters.

In the meantime, I'm struggling with my story. It's times like these it actually feels like writing takes work. It doesn't always just flow. I wish there was a way to have what you want to say just magically appear on paper. All your thoughts and feelings you can't quite find words for - just presto - on your page! I guess if it were that easy everyone would write.

Argh. I need to finish this before Thursday. I'm driving half-way across the country for Christmas and don't want this hanging over my head.

I have just discovered two wonderful seasonal offerings. Starbucks has a peppermint mocha coffee out that is like drinking a dessert - if you add a bit of sugar and cream. The scent is amazing. Add to that Pepperidge Farms Candy Cane Milanos and you have a wonderful coffee break. I highly recommend it.

At the moment I'm trying to write a slow burn Darcy/Coulson fic, set in an apocalypse scenario. Considering I've never written the pairing before, to say nothing of a romance I think I might have bitten off more than I can chew. I've been inspired by all the other cute, romantic stories out there and think, I want to read another but can't find more and then decide, well, it looks like I have to write it myself. As good as the idea seems, it's execution leaves a bit to be desired. At this point, I plan to see the story through but have resigned myself to a somewhat shaky portrayal of the concept. I figure the story can still be entertaining, and it's all part of learning how to write. Maybe if I make it through this story my next one will be better executed. I just hope my readers are willing to stick with me through the rough patches!
