muse is dead or on strike. I cannot focus on TF for the life of me. WHY?

My brain's on S&S/David Warner, and i'm finding it very hard to stop. I may have to take a day or two, indulge, and get it out of my system? Or would purging it like that even work? Headache today isnt helping me focus. Sigh.

I guess i just need to make myself do it, but my head's hurting with headphones on, i can't think with the pumpkin playing teletubbies on her computer, and i'm just making no progress whatsoever.

Dear muse,

COME BACK!

from,
me
Mood:: 'blah' blah

Maybe you could have a rest day of S&S, DW, etc and not even look at TF, then a day of Fifth Doctor-ness to get back into the groove, and then attack from there?

Or alternatively subtly introduce S&S and David Warner into TF without anyone else noticing...

Ha ha, i like the second plan, but i'm thinking i'm going to have to do the first one. I dont know if it will help, though.

I listened to Circular Time Summer and Winter the other day to try and get my derailed train of thought back on track, and ended up with more S&S ideas! Curses!

I only have a few more scenes to write, only about 2k words to do, and I just cannot pull myself together enough to see the scenes i need to write. After seeing Blifil in Tom Jones at long last, i am SO fancying David Warner again, omg. I want to eat him alive.

I know - a hot bath. I get my best ideas in the bath/shower, as it is so far removed from the pc, from the situation, and its usually quiet and kid-free. Though i bet i end up with ideas about S&S, damnit.

The bath idea sounds like a winner to me. I always get my best brainstorms when I'm trying to fall asleep at night, probably for the same reasons that the bath works for you. Sometimes it's also helpful just to put the pencil down for a day or two, let all the scatterbrained-ness settle down, and then launch back into it. Sometimes forcing my brain back on track *does* work (in fact, I'm getting better at it), but I know it doesn't for a lot of people. You'll just have to experiment and see what works for you.

Hot bath for 45 and a chance to pull it over, and then total separation for an hour while we put pumpkin to bed, meant that i suddenly got inspired around 8.30 and wrote til 10 nonstop. And then crashed into bed!

It was weird, how it just came to me, it started pouring into my brain like someone turned a tap on!

I couldn't revise properly cos I had all these slashy ideas floating around. So I tried to indulge it, probably cos that was the easiest option. Yeah, that didn't work. It just made it worse. So don't do that.

One minute it will be "I'll just have a quick look at this so I can get over it and focus on what I need to do", next thing you know it'll be "Oh my. Where have those 2 days gone?" (it wasn't quite that bad, but you get the idea).

I second [livejournal.com profile] alocin42's idea, find a way to work David Warner into TF! What a great idea. I might use that...

Exactly - i was thinking that giving in might make it worse and then i'd never get back on track.

I'm thinking of characterising / picturing my main baddie as one of his villains, maybe Vultare or Ed Dillinger... Ed Dillinger probably as he was scheming, evil, sadistic, and yet he could smile and be nice to your face as he twisted the knife in your back.. I like that.

Then again some of the shouty bits from League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse are just the right over the top-ness that i want in this villain i'm writing...

Now i'll need to write David a letter and tell him how he inspired me to write! Another excuse for fanmail! woot!
