What are five stories you wish you could write, but can't?
1. Midroc II. I have the idea for this one, mostly, down in my head. I have great ideas for snippets of the story here and there. But, for some reason, I can't seem to get any of it to gel. Even more frustrating because I already had an inkling for Midroc III -- which seemed oh-so-much-more-interesting than the book I need to be writing. *headdesk*
2. "Bad to Worse". It's this massive (seriously ... massive!!) WK multi-chapter fic that I've basically had "in progress" since before my daughter was born. For those of you keeping score, that's five freaking years. >.O At this point, I fear this one may be a lost cause because my writing style has changed so much over that amount of time. I'm not even sure I could edit it into anything cohesive in the event I managed to finish it. Blah.
3. More Orphen fic. I love this show. Seriously love it. As much as Weiss. And yet, I can't seem to find any story ideas for it. WhywhywhywhyWHY????? *flails*
4. Kill the Buddha. It's this Saiyuki fic idea I had. At the time, it seemed like a great idea (and still does, actually!), but I can't seem to find where the story begins. I've tried it, like, ten or eleven times -- and no luck. Maybe one day. I still have the idea notes and snippets I've written for it, so I don't suppose it's a total loss.
5. Original short stories / Original fic. Maybe this is combining two things into one, but I have several original story ideas -- either for short stories or, potentially, something longer -- that I can't seem to get off the ground right now. Maybe they need to percolate a bit more. Even so, it's frustrating.
And Other Stuff:
I have company coming for dinner in about an hour and a half, and I'm not done with the house cleanup I need to accomplish. It's not like my house is a sty. It's straight and fairly clutter-free. (At least, as clutter-free as it can be, considering the habits of my kiddo and my hubby.) But there's touch-up stuff to do: Put last minute things away. Clean the bathrooms (3 of the 4). Dust the kiddo's room. Clean the kitchen. Yadda, yadda, yadda.
On the plus side, I did manage to shop for pie ingredients this AM. I have made the pie, and it's sitting in the fridge. I cleaned the kitchen, the cat box, and freshened 2 of the 3 bathrooms. I've put away most of the clutter and dust-swept the second floor, where the kids will spend most of their time playing. Ditto with the third floor -- but I pretty much just got into the corners and such to grab up the dust bunnies lurking there. So it's not like I haven't gotten stuff done. But I can't seem to motivate myself to clean that last bathroom. Instead, here I sit, typing an LJ entry.
Go me. For the win. SRSLY.
