Been Completely MIA

[sanalayla]

Life has been crazy busy. It all started with Hurricane Irene. Then it was Eid. Then I had tons of work at work (still do). And then I had to go to Chicago for a wedding. Just got back and work is... yup, you guessed it, incredibly busy. And the in-laws are in town. 

So - unfortunately - that means that fanfic writing in on hold while Real Life takes a priority. It really sucks because I've got all this great stuff buzzing around in my head, but no time to actually put fingers to keyboard to get it typed out. 

How is everyone else doing? I hope you had a great Labor Day! 

For all you writers out there: does this ever happen to you? That your Muse is more than happy to come out and play, but you have no time to indulge?

WriterMuse LOVES to come around when I have other priorities. Right before final exams/projects/papers, I would be a writing machine. ;) It so happens that work is subsidising some skills upgrades for me & the final is in November just in time for NaNoWriMo. ;)

Yeah, that's what happens to me, too. I spent most of August writing HP fanfic and now I'm paying for it. SO behind at work, it's not even funny. And I really want to finish up the final two chapters of the latest one, but I'm FORCING myself to be good and work at work, instead of writing fanfic like mad.

I know what'll happen. By time I get time to write, the muse will have fled.
