It's rolling again...

[nia_kantorka]

For the las'ight or so I really thought I had to withdrawl from the fest I'm writing my current fic for. No words, no ideas, nothing. I wrote the start of that story in May and since then not a single word. It was ok during June because I wanted to read all the things (worked well), but I've been getting more and more nervous since the 1st of July. Last Friday (after having procrastinated for hours on the internet while trying to write some words in that doc) I sat at my desk and asked myself what to do if things would go on like this.

Well, I told myself that I'd try one more week before I'd give up. Thanks to all the deities (or whomever I have to thank for sending my muse back to me) it's no longer necessary. Wrote some prompt required things yesterday and today (while making coffee and foaming milk ) it all came together; How to end this damn story and where to go from the scene I stopped yesterday.

Hurray- I don't need to drop out of the fest or submit some story I'd have been embarrassed about. Probably shouldn't shout out that loud as it isn't finished yet, but I'm so relieved. It's irrational to get that angsty about such a thing (nobody's about to die, the world is still spinning and there are so many bigger problems to think about), but for unbeknown reasons I just do.

So, yeah, crisis averted. :D

I'm going out with a friend tonight (late b-day present :D) and just wanted to wish everyone a wonderful morning/day/evening/night!

Cheers! ♥

P.S.: Thanks to digthewriter I'm able to decorate this post with some oh-mime of John and that wonderful smirk of Sherlock.

P.P.S.: I want to change my LJ layout and I've found one I like (the colours, the clean style) except for the header pic. Is there a way to change the header pic without me crashing the code? And how do I even get into the code (there's a shortkey I sometimes enter and than I see the page's code, but I never pressed those keys deliberately)? Maybe some of my more css-talented friends could help me? If it's too elaborate, I'd skip the whole idea.

A story coming together after a long struggle with it is such a good feeling! I'm glad you've worked out where it's going and how to finish it. <3

Have fun tonight! :D

I thought this was my post from yesterday for a minute! LOL So glad to hear you've made progress as well. :D

Alas, I'm not help with the layout question.

[my_thestral]

Hooray for the story coming together! :) Imagine me, usually having nothing buy a sentence to go on, I leave the rest to my inspiration, which does - or does not - make an appearance. For The Butterfly effects I literally had this: "Draco hears voices. Ron helps." :)
So - I'm glad this is resolved, I completely know what you mean with not knowing where to go with your story.

Paint the town red tonight, hon! :)

P.S. Geez, I don't know about the code - I just right-click and click something like "see the source", but I'm pretty sure that's not it! *sheepish grin of a computer moron*

I'm glad your writing muse is cooperating. :)

Have a good time tonight!

Hope someone can help you with the header/layout thingy, I just select a random theme and click to apply, that's all i know. :D

[capitu]

OH yay! :D I'm so glad you found your way!

Darling, I can help you changing the header pic. Mail me and we'll get it done!

Rock the city tonight! I'm curious to see the new layout. Yay for inspiration and new ideas when we need them the most! :)

[carowren.livejournal.com]

Huzzah! I'm glad the words are flowing. Hopefully you'll be able to work out that ending soon, too. :D
I do have some basic header knowledge- but it looks like capitu's got you covered and she probably knows more than me anyway.
I'm looking forward to seeing your new layout.

[nia_kantorka]

Ah, the ending is already writing. Sometimes (if rarely) it comes sooner than other parts. Once I knew the last sentence first - intersting to write such a thing. But today there has been some progress in missing part as well. :D

Thank you! *blews kisses*

And yes, I'm sure Capitu will guide me safely to a new layout with her amazing pc skills!

[nia_kantorka]

Dear me, I should reply at the right place.

It was a lovely evening with some good food and even better talking. :D

Yes, it is great to get back on track.

[nia_kantorka]

You are the best, angel!

I sent you a message. ♥

[nia_kantorka]

Me too. :D

I had a very good night. Thank you! <333

Yes, Capitu volunteered (she doesn't know what she's got into).

[nia_kantorka]

Ah, sometimes I have that too. Only one sentence or one idea. But there are the rare (and better) times when I know from the start or and an early point on where to go with a story. Those are the best ones. :D

I had a great time. Thank you, my dear! ♥

[nia_kantorka]

Yes, I saw your post and thought Want that too, Muse, do you hear me? and just like that it worked. :D
Thank you! *hugs*

[nia_kantorka]

*Ah, squishes you*
It still takes some time but it's coming together and that's such a good feeling.

Thank you! I had a lovely evening. :D
