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.

Why thank you! I'd like to think I have a way with words... it's the punctuation and grammar that sucks! But I am improving. Not EVERY sentence ends with a preposition. Dear god woman, you do stretch yourself thin. And how many exchanges are you signed up for?

Right. No flowers. Actually, that makes you a woman after my own heart. I like things alive and green. Sending someone a bloom cut off in the prime of it's beauty and in the process of dying is not what I'd call a romantic gesture. But how about something sweet, and useful? Like a berry bush? They've got tiny thorns but they're hardy, pretty, and sustain animals and camping Trios alike!
