Stuck Inside of My House With These Can't Nap Blues Again

[itsallovernow]

Wow, I think I deserve some sort of award for that post subject!!

So, due to an explosion in our buildings electrical room resulting in no power for the building above the fourth floor (I'm on the 17th floor), I am working from home. This is fun, in the I'm home and don't have to wear a bra or even pants if I don't want to sort of way. It is less fun in the I'm home but still linked to my job and can't randomly nap even though the cats are kind of way.

M. is currently in the living room watching Purple Rain while I work from my bedroom. That I'm working from my bed because I haven't done enough of the cleaning up my room to work from the pseudo-desk problem is making the desire to nap even greater.

In light of these circumstances, I will behave as the sheep that I am and meme.

I'm not brave enough to do the anonymous tell me what you really think of my writing meme. However, should you wish to say anything about my writing non-anonymously, or anonymously and constructively, I guess I'm up for that. I take criticism badly. However, the curiosity is sort of overwhelming.

More enthusiastically, if you have questions about any of my titles, ask away. Most of them are pulled directly from my ass, or the ether, but I can make stuff up with the best of them.

I suppose, if I were really clever, I'd use this opportunity to finish cofax7's birthday fic and start my Remix fic. Stranger things have happened.

It also occurs to me that I've missed a SLEW of birthdays recently! I'm not going to promise fic - long fic that is - but if you drop me a subject line or a preferred element, I will write you a birthday drabble in the comments!! I consider any birthdays from the beginning of January fair game!!

Thea fic makes me read fic about a show I've barely ever watched. And oh ya, I'm reading FIC. I don't do a lot of that.

So. read into that what you will.

Also: NAP! And I am at my icky desk....

I don't know about this whole Great Write Meme. I have about three minds on this -- the mind that wants to hear from people with their honest thoughts, the mind that fears getting nasty comments, the mind that fears no one else will actually comment or remember that I used to write (like, a year ago now). And of course the superego that goes "C'mon, if I want honest criticism from people who read my stories they're pretty much *only* on my friend-of list at this point anyhow, and I can just be honest with my neurotic need for validation and ask them directly."

Although I just left some concrit for someone who was really cool about it and wanted to take it to email, so there's *some* good come out of it. Also, the juicy, juicy pleasure at seeing a few people I don't care for getting snarked at. I am not very nice. *g*

Hee - I have to admit that I'd enjoy that last part (and feel bad about enjoying it). I'm really bad about taking public criticism. I know this about myself, and while I think it's brave to open oneself up for it, I'm not ready to do so from an anonymous source.

But I do think there's valuable potential there. I sort of want an honest response, and I sort of already know what I think my flaws as a writer are, and am not entirely sure how I feel about other people dissecting flaws I don't currently think I have:)

I'll take you up on the drabble! How about John & D'Argo being best buds?
