Maybe I can do it if I put my back into it...

Rrrrh. Gmail randomly started denying my existence and not letting me log into anything. I fixed it, but in the process I had to clear out my cache and cookies and everything. All of which is not a problem, except that it wiped the journals on my LJ plugin. And now I'm almost certain that even after readding journals, I'm missing some. Bah.

I'm probably just out of sorts because my brain still isn't working right. These past few nights it's gotten to where I should be going to sleep and my general reaction is "...can't brain for sleep." Sleep is not something you should really have to brain for. It's exhausting.

Evie and I are leaving Iowa City on Friday, I think, assuming magi and L don't break our legs or something before then so we can't leave. Right now, Evie and magi and L are out getting soda, so that we can have alcohol and Zardoz. ...Yeah, our friendship is special.

I'm gonna go try to write now. Or just stare at notebooks and pretend I'm doing something productive. One of those.

Rrrh. I've been staring at the same fic for, like, a week. I think I've written three sentences since we got here, maybe less. I'm tempted to just set it aside and try to work on something else, but I just don't know what else I have to work on.

And I've done that before, with the constant falling asleep... and it is really irritating, but I'd prefer it to not being able to brain for sleep at all. Because the way things are going now, everything in my head is all foggy and just not working right no matter what I do.

I have like five Really Great Ideas. See how they're proper noun Great Ideas? They're that awesome. I have one of them half done but I kind of dropped the ball on it. I have one I really want to write, but pre-series Jack fic confuses me. Like con man!Jack fic before he's taken of the name of Jack. I don't know how to write it. But I know the world needs con man!Jack/Ethan Rayne fic. It does. I can tell. It even has a plot, which is crazy for me because... plots. It's frustrating.

Foggy brain is no good. Just remember to keep your headlights on low, because the bright lights reflect against the fog and make it harder to see. Though I suppose that's better advice for actual fog, versus brain fog. The principle probably applies somewhere.

I have some Really Great Ideas lying around in places, but... nothing I want to write when I'm feeling like this. There have to be simple oneshots of, like, five hundred words or so that I can write just to get out of this funk, but my brain won't work. And oh. I think that conman!Jack/Ethan Rayne does need to exist. Hee.

...If my brain were less foggy, I'm sure I could make sense of that in a way that it actually... applies... because it sounds like good advice. Somehow. ♥
