I Think I'm Going To Be Sick

[teddy_radiator]

I've just re-read not only my recipient's prompts but also their hopes and dreams for their prompts. I feel completely inadequate. I had felt quite confident, until I read a few of the comments below. Now I'm sure I'm going to be sick.

I feel completely inadequate.

We all go through that. I always have at least three stories started every exchange (one for each prompt), because the prompt I initially thought I'd write doesn't seem to be working, so I wibble and wobble, trying to decide which one to do, or maybe I should combine them, or maybe I should just throw up my hands and run away where no one can find me, but that wouldn't work because I'm a mod and people know where I live and Shiv would hunt me down and kill me, and by that time I'mjustrunningaroundandflailinglikeabeheadedchickenbecauseit'salltoomuch!

And then one of the prompts clicks into place and I calm down. ;)

LOL. I'm not quite at the I'mjustrunningaroundandflailinglikeabeheadedchickenbecauseit'salltoomuch stage, but almost. I just have a lot of respect for my recipient, and want to impress them.

I'll calm down eventually, remember that I'm not that bad a writer and I'll get down something, then decide it's not too bad, then decide it's the greatest work I'll ever do and turn it in a week early.

Well, that's the plan. Or I may just throw my hands up and run away where no one can find me ;)
