25 December 2009 @ 03:08 pm
A bit late in the day, but I wanted to be sure and wish everyone on my Flist a very happy holiday if you're celebrating such things today. Be happy, be healthy, be safe. And, hopefully, your weather is better than the snowy, blizzard-like day we're having (not that I'm complaining, it's a perfect Christmas Day if you have nowhere to drive!).

I hope Santa was generous with ya'll!

~Susan / apckrfan (who's hoping to get some writing in tonight when I'm done working and everyone's in bed!)

I just want to wish all of my flist a very happy and safe Thanksgiving! I hope whatever you do and whoever you celebrate with, it's a memorable one!

~Susan / apckrfan (Who's hoping to get tired sooner or later because she has to work a full day tomorrow beginning in 3 hours in addition to Mom duties around the house (thank goodness no company tomorrow!). Until Morpheus casts his spell on me, Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Starling are keeping me company!)

It's going on almost a year now that I've been in this funk with my writing. I have ideas, I have things started, but every time I open Word I just sit there and stare at the screen.

Sooo, I'm going to see if any of you has a prompt - a song, a word, a sentence, a setting, a time period, a sequel to something of mine you've read. Really, any prompt, I'm just hoping for something that will inspire me as I've come up with zilch for so long now.

Feel free to comment here with any and all. Fandoms I cover: 
Adventures in Babysitting || Angel || Anita Blake || Bones || Breakfast Club || BtVS || Castle || Days of Our Lives || Dead Zone || Dexter || Doctor Who || Dollhouse || Drive || Firefly || Friday Night Lights || Fringe || Gilmore Girls || Gone With the Wind || Harry Potter || Heroes || Joan of Arcadia || LOST || Medium || Phantom || Psych || Sex & the City || Shark || Silence of the Lambs || Slither || Smallville || Stephanie Plum || Twin Peaks || Ugly Betty || Veronica Mars || Witchblade || X-Files

*Bones-up to S3, Smallville-up to S5, Ugly Betty up to S2 as I'm behind on them

You can drop me an LJ PM or email if you'd rather. Just put something eye-catching in the subject line so I know it's not spam.

OT and a bit of introspection for the day, sorry, but I am curious if anyone wants to take the time to respond:

I had my ex ask me recently why, me the one with the college degree is "not as successful" as he, a convicted felon...

2 of my Fringe stories have been nominated over at: [info]fringe_awards 



I've never been a big participant in award-type things, so I'm always very flattered when a story I've written garners enough attention by someone that they think others should take a look, too. So, thank you for the support.

Thank you again and Happy Fourth of July to all who celebrate it as the day of America's independence.

Minneapolis' Can't Stop the Serenity event will be held August 13-15 this year. The 14th and 15th are just showings of the film it sounds like without the auction/raffle, etc. So, if you're looking for all of the goodies, the 13th is the day you want.

I'm going to try and get there, but just not sure I can swing it this year. A 10 day vacation in Boston was great, but hits the pocketbook so we'll see if I've recuped by then.

We got Serenity because of strong Firefly DVD sales, perhaps if enough people pre-order this, FOX will see the following it has and it will help sway their decision for a S2. Okay, maybe I'm giving them too much credit, but still ... One can hope:

I've gotten a couple of emails from people who know I'm in Fargo, so I'm posting this here. I appreciate the concern!

We've already broken the historical mark set back in 1897 of 40.1 feet and the river is still rising. Evacuations in our sister town of Moorhead have escalated to a much larger chunk of houses - for those familiar with the area all house South of Main and West of 8th Street South clear down to 52nd Avenue South. (One of the houses my grandpa built is among those, I'll have to check on it when this is over.) Some residents in South Fargo are being evacuated. Hospitals have been moving patients. Roadways are closed, people are asked to stay off the roads unless they have to go out so that emergency personnel, city personnel, workers and volunteers can get through quickly. The mayor has asked businesses to take the day off. I just got a call from McD's that we're closing for the day.
 
River is expected to crest at over 42 feet (possibly 43') sometime tomorrow. And then these sandbag dikes will have to hold that water back for up to a week or more. They're saying some of the colder weather may help a little because precipitation will come in the form of snow not rain, but there is rain forecasted later on in next week.
 
Our house is OK. Hubby's worried about drains backing up in the basement but that's about it. Our house isn't even on a map of any "concern zones" at the moment, so that's good. He used "the girls" bathroom upstairs today to shower. He's been working 13-14 hour days this week hauling sand to "sandbag central". He leaves at 6:30am, gets home after 10pm basically to eat and sleep, goes back out again.
 
That's all I know for now. I tend to update Facebook more, I'm there under Susan Matthews Falk (I think this is the right link): http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=590935090 Feel free to add me or drop me an email: apckrfan @ gmail.com

A Trusting Soul
Added Mar. 05, 2009 and is complete in 1 part. This is a Fringe fic with spoilers through BOUND (1x11). Phillip comes to terms in his own way about Olivia being abducted and treated so unfairly by Sanford Harris. 2,354 words.

I'm so excited to have Joss back in my living room every week! I hope the Friday night lineup FOX has going on works. They do seem to be investing money in advertising it. Let's hope they've learned their lesson after Firefly!

(And alas, I'm still not writing anything yet ...)

I haven't written much of anything in close to 2 months now. I don't know what my problem is as I've never experienced this before. Not to this degree at least. Usually, there's something I can at least work on if nothing else inspires me. Not the case at the moment. Ideas are there, I open a blank document and nothing. I've re-read my WIPs, hoping that will spur the drive for me to write more. I've re-read some older fics, hoping that would give me a new idea for something else in that fandom. Nothing.

Very frustrating, esp. considering I had a ficathon fic due 11 days ago and I'm no closer to finishing it today than I was a month ago.

On the upside, I've gotten a lot of reading done because I can't stand sitting at the computer feeling inadequate because words escape me at the moment.

So, what do you do to combat writer's block?
