To help us all along,  and inspired by the F*** Yeah Fanfic Flamingo Tumblr   (NSFW) (thanks [livejournal.com profile] draycevixen  and [livejournal.com profile] mikes_grrl ) I've created a little meme generator...

Who better to ask for help with your story than the Controller himself - that's 'Mister' Cowley to you and me. *g*

Journey - 1,000 miles - one step - grasshopper, etc.

Everybody's got to start somewhere, and you can do it!!!!

And: LISTEN TO COWLEY, YOU KNOW HE'S RIGHT.

I keep trying to snatch the pebble but I'm pretty sure you just painted it on your hand...

There's a large part of my brain that's infamous for settling determinedly on a story I have no business/interest/too much sanity to write... but it won't relinquish my handful of braincells to let them think of something else. So I stall in the vain hope that another... nicer idea might come to me. Hah! Anyway, that's where I am right now.

I normally limit my PWP writing activities and all I can think of when I think of 20,000 words of PWP is poor, exhausted, sore lads.

There actually are 30 (?) days left. If you're done with your other story, you still have time.

But I definitely understand what you're getting at. I have a variation of that where usually I have a faint idea for a long fic, and one or two particular scenes - which I can't get beyond. (Oh, and how many times have I been out, or driving, or at work, and think up a great development; and then, when I'm back near paper or a machine, can't remember why the development was so great. :-/) Which is probably why what I have managed to complete I've done in a day or to. Endurance is my stumbling block.

Maybe if you can block off a weekend (next weekend?) and see how much comes out, that would be a sign of what you'd need to do to truly say yea or nay? From what you've said, you really haven't had a to work on it.

But think of the crack possibilities... 'cause it's not humanly possible. :D

Oooh do you also wake up in the middle of the night with a fantastic idea that you can't remember the next morning? That's my least favourite variation.

Once you've given a car a sex life, all things are possible. *g*

Insomnia has been the source of a few fics, and near-insomnia has killed a few others. :(

Okay, I *need to know about this*. :looking for links:

It was for a different fandom, Life on Mars so don't think it would interest you.
