I'm so totally blocked on anything I HAVE to write. That's so frustrating. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
stargateland has a short challenge due on Wednesday. It's real simple: write about a character on their day off. I mean, that should be simple. It only has to be 100 words. Piece of cake!
Except I can't think of a single thing to write. Or maybe it's because I can't seem to concentrate. Sims 3 is a major timesuck. Oy.
That's not even getting intohet_bigbang I have to do or the sg1friendathon . I haven't started either of them. Triple UGH!
I DID write something last night, though. I sat down to work on the off the clock challenge and just stared at the blank page. Got frustrated so checked my email (nothing new). Stared at the page a little while longer. Went to the bathroom. And a line came to my head: she was glowing and not that metaphorical, she's pregnant glowing; now Vala was glowing for real--a sickish yellow-green color. I hurried up in the bathroom (because I ALWAYS do my best thinking in there) and jotted down the line on a clean sheet of paper.
Next thing I knew I had several pages written. What I intended to be a short (less than 1000 words) snippet of Daniel/Vala has turned into an actual little adventure. The writing is total crap (way below even my normal 1st draft quality). I cringed as I wrote it but I'm feeling sick again with a sore throat and having trouble focusing so I was just thrilled to get anything down. I'll fix it later.
That was great and all but I have challenges due. I need inspiration!
Anyone want to toss out some ideas? What exactly would SG-1 (old or new or any of the characters) do on their day off? I was thinking of doing something from Cam's POV where he tries to take a day off but ends up doing more outside of the mountain than if he had hung out inside. I was thinking he goes for a jog, has to clean his apartment, works on his car, then Vala ropes him into running errands with her (since she has to have an escort to leave the SGC and doesn't have a car). In the end he's more tired after his day off than if he had worked.
Something along those lines. See, the idea is in my head but the actual writing escapes me. My head hurts too much to get the thoughts from my brain onto paper/screen. Sigh.
( you don't have to read if you don't care about my real life problems )
Anyway, whenever I finally get back online I plan to have a bunch of fic for everyone. I might open things up to prompts. Hopefully I'll have most of my big challenges mostly done, too. That is if I can stay away from the Sims.
