Whinging - feel free to ignore

[lady_karelia]

Admining a fic today had me really upset. Like, seriously upset. The author's response, which was ignorant at best, and certainly defiant, made it worse. I don't know, maybe I'm just burnt out. I want to write, and as much as I love mentoring authors to the point of validation, sometimes, I just feel overwhelmed. Like today. So, yeah, I'm hopelessly behind with betas right now. I had, until tonight, not written a word in about four days. We're extremely short in the admin department this week, and for some reason, there were loads of really long chapters in the queue.

Thankfully, tonight Lucius suggested a hot bath, which was a brilliant idea, since I went to Lush yesterday. And wow, did that bath help the Muse. About 350 words written for the LMHG exchange. Not a lot, but it's a start, and what's more, I have the entire outline. So, yeah, I'm feeling better now. But I still wish people would apply brains before uploading fic. Anyways, Lucius, with the help of Mozart and Sibelius, fixed my mood.

Sorry that admining/betaing is getting you down right now. I'm glad that Lucius was there to help out. ;) Hopefully, with some rest, things will look brighter...

Actually, the betaing isn't getting me down; it just tends to suffer when the queue bogs me down because then I just lose the ability to concentrate and become all scatter-brained.

Lucius is an amazing Muse, and I'm very grateful he chose me. The bath helped, too, of course. I think I'll repeat the bath experience now. lol.
