Note To Self: Stop Doing Anything

[kriadydragon]

I've been in a "mood." You probably know the one - where you want to cry for no reason? Where everything becomes a reason to cry? Which I can live with since I know it's just me being in a mood and know that the mood is temporary, but it's heck on creativity. I made the mistake of editing another chapter of my original fic while in "the mood" and ended up not only with doubts about the chapter but doubts about the story as a whole *smacks forehead* Thankfully the doubts have narrowed back to just the chapter, which I can deal with.

I also need to learn not to read fic when I'm in "the mood." I'm particular on a good day, I'm a bear on a not-so-good day, and heaven forbid if my fave character ends up not being the one whumped because hell hath no fury and all that... well, minus the scorn part since I'm not being scorned. Ah, mood swings. You do make life... interesting :P

Set it all aside until you level off.
Believe me when I say I know what damage can be inflicted if you do not......

Yeah, I really need to learn to do that. Usually when in a mood I'll automatically set things aside since I'm not in the mood to do anything. But yesterday I forced myself to edit since I've been putting it off for too long.

Reading fic, on the other hand, becomes even more of a temptation since I am setting my usual activities aside. I get bored, want to relax by reading a good story or two, and end up running into fic that are exactly not what I need. Then I get mad, try even harder to find a good story only to keep running into the same. Possibly ironic, or I'm so upset I wouldn't know a good fic if it bit me :P
