I need to get my brain in order!

[raeschae]

Now that my spn_30snapshots table is finished, I need to focus my attention on the next thing on my plate. (Check out Conversations in a Coffee Shop if you've been waiting for it to be complete before reading!)

Fortunately, I have today off so I'm hoping to get some outlining done for my spnthreesome fic. I have the idea and the basic concept, but I need to nail down the specifics.

The other things I want to do is start writing for my schmoop_bingo card. I'm asking you guys for a little help on this one, though.



So I have a few ideas for some of these prompts, but I haven't really thought much about any of them yet. So I'm asking what you guys want to see. I'm not even sure which lines I want to fill and I obviously can't promise to write every suggestion, but I'm just curious to find out how you'd like to see some of these take shape. I can write in a verse or something completely new. So let me know what you think! Do any of them jump out at you?

Alright. Shower. Then writing. How am I up and more motivated to start my day right now, on my day off, then I ever am when I'm supposed to be going to work? Nevermind - I think I already know the answer to that.

Cooking together, long lost love, and massage each have two votes - I think I can work with those. (I don't even know if they're in any order on my card. I should probably check that out first, huh?)

Eh, just do 'em all. ;)

Candlelight could be due to a power outage, and serenade could be pretty cracky. [/enabling]

OMG, serenading is the one that makes me the most uncomfortable. Even moreso than writing any kind of kidfic or a marriage proposal. (I will read both of those, for the record, but they're just not my sweet spot when I write.) Have you ever had anyone actually sing a song to you? I'm sure some people like it, but it is the most uncomfortable thing in the world for me. Even when the song isn't for me. Just...so weird. It'll probably come out kind of cracktastic if I do it.

On the bus in high school. A filk that I had written that was published in the school's literary journal. Sung to me by my close friend whom I had a crush on. AWKWARD!

I shouldn't talk anyway, since I decided to pass on schmoop bingo because there's so many I wouldn't be comfortable writing. So go you for being willing to stretch yourself! Especially since your versions of the boys often don't lend themselves to schmoop, which is one of the reasons I like them. :)

I'm a much bigger fan of the anti-schmoopy actions that end in super-schmoopy emotions. I'm not a romantic person, so I'm just afraid I'm going to end up sounding like I'm mocking the prompts. I really don't want to do that, so I'm really going to have to work at it. Now that it's a challenge, though, I won't be able to walk away until I'm satisfied. Damn my competitive spirit.
