i am a slug, a sloth-like slug

seriously i feel like the laziest person alive... i borrowed Bird By Bird from the library to inspire myself to start writing seriously and haven't even written on LJ since i got it.. even [info]mellie 's wonderful writing challenge that i had thought to take on has been brushed aside... (how are you doing with that by the way?)

so yeah i suck

in other news, everybody needs to start reading the manga Shinobi Life.. it's really yummy and intriguing and flangsty and all the good things good shoujo manga is... [info]smartycat are you reading this?

i'm also feeling deprived of good Zutara fic.. tho Chains by Wohitzi is finally turning in an interesting direction! I want some well thought out post-series character development!! if I knew how to write it, i'd do it myself! my one fic idea kind of died.. do you remember it [info]coley_merrin ? I think it grew too big in my head and got convinced that i'd never be able to write it all.. i need to do that 1 inch picture frame thing..

anyway [info]grandlarseny , today is that last day of june and i never finished posting my fic recs... but then again.. nobody else did either... soooo.. i don't feel so bad? ::sheepish:: do we have a new challenge for july? maybe i should just post my recs here...

ok that's enough rambling for now i guess...i'm all over the place lately..maybe that's why it's so hard for me to just sit down and do something -_-

Ohh, where are you at on Bird by Bird? Maybe you can inspire me to get off my ass and finish reading it

*salutes* It isn't too far along, so I will catch up.
I am not currently reading Shinobi Life, but it looks like it would be pretty fun. And she has pink hair on the cover! I have such a bizarre weakness for pink hair! LOL
Oooh, 'Bird by Bird' sounds like an interesting book. What's it about? Just like a list of tips and suggestions?
it is a pretty interesting book actually, especially for someone like me that often has a hard time finding a place to start or ever getting the motivation to finish... it's a funny little book about the writing process itself.. changing the way you approach it, etc.. you might find some of her more specific tips about plot and characters more useful than me, as i have yet to actually start writing, let alone develop an actual story :-P
