Ugh I've hit a huge wall with my Difficult Days resolution/final chapter. I know what I want to happen, but I'm not sure how to bridge the gap.

Anyone have tips on brainstorming or getting the creative juices flowing?

The only part that I hate about getting older is the now necessary trips to the doctor and blood work and ultrasounds because something spooky is going on and I don't like it!

I'm seeing a lot of posts lately from people saying what they want to see more of in their favourite fics, whether it's characterization or ships or tropes and I get it to an extent but there is something about these posts that rubs me the wrong way.

And I think i finally put my finger on what it is. These posts feel kind of like consumer reviews, like "sure, that was tasty, but next time I want this" and that is so strange to me.

If you want something really specific or even more to your taste, there is a great way to do that.

Write your own fic.

I promise, it'll have everything you want and more.

So, maybe this is a rude post but, if you're going to tell me to add you to the tag list on my multi-part fics and then not even reblog any of it, or not say please, or not even remark on what you enjoyed about it or what you're looking forward to in the next part?

I'm sorry but I'm probably not going to add you to the tag list moving forward.

Again, apologies if this makes some of you upset, but it's a little ridiculous to just consume a writers work like this with no acknowledgement when I do this for free and for fun.

I'm not a writer on a TV show, this is a Fandom space and that means there needs to be some sense of community and not consumerism.

Sorry everyone, just needed a vent...feel free to ignore this.

The urge to just post what I've got so far and make this a four parter is...well its strong lets say that...

Blurgh the only good thing about the work day tomorrow is the potential writing I might get done in the car on the 4 hour drive there and 4 hour drive back....tell me again why I agreed to this, I have to be up in like 5 hours.....
