Okay. I'm one of those people who abhors the idea of losing control or being out of control in any way, shape or form. Hence, I'm not addicted to any substances, have never done drugs, drank alcohol, smoked, or the like. The idea of something or someone controlling me is ludicrous.
Yet here I am a willing, mindless slave to writing stories.
The worst part is I perpetuate my addiction by taking on more giftfics. I mean, people earn them, but why can't I say no? Well, because people earn them. I pay my debts, and I'm a responsible person. And I have trouble saying no. I think though, in the interest of saving my sanity, that I need a cut off point. Like only three on my plate at a time. The rest go to a waiting list to be addressed when, and only when, I have completed the three. Not one of the three or two of the five, but the whole three. Plate clean, I will then take on another group of three.
It's a plan.
Going by that, I'll say that the three I have to do now are:
What Lies Between ~ for Ego sum calaestis
Lost in Reality ~ for my beta
Casual Encounters ~ for SexyKakashi99
So then...Not sure if I should put yet another list up there in the left margin for giftfics and the waiting list. Seems as if that poor left margin is slowly being over run. Since I have a list of works on fanfiction.net, I guess I should delete my works there and put up the girftfics and waiting list. *Sigh*...that was quite a bit of work. But oh, well!
I feel better with this plan in place. I went through a writing crisis a couple of weeks ago. Stress from the sheer volume of pending works was driving me insane. Affected my writing and everything. Hopefully this will help.
Adios
