When there's no time for writing fanfic. . .

I'm about to claim defeat. Working full time is just not condusive to writing fanfic. Since I started this new job I finished a whopping two fics in seven months. I've got six fic ideas breathing down my neck - three of them actually started - and I'm just way too tired at the end of the day to write anything.

Anyone else have the problem of mundania keeping them from doing anything like a hobby?

How does one make a living and keep from going insane? I'm just asking. . .

(no subject)

List of things I need to do in the next week:

1. Clean my office
2. Clean Glowbug's cage (which goes a long way to getting the office clean)
3. Put up my Trowa approved lion fountain and greenery.
4. Fanfic - get at least one of six stories written
5. New post to Buffy RPG
6. Write my thesis proposal

Perhaps the thesis proposal should be a little higher on the list. . .

I've found that giving myself a lot of work to do increases my change of writing fanfic. My brain needs tricked into thinking that more important things must be done first, thus fanfic is thrown to the top of the list as a means to properly procrastinate against the the things that are far more important and timely.

So I get this e-mail from mom. . .

It's super cryptic. "Call me at home at 5:30, I have a nice surprise for you." So I think I'll catch her at work before she leaves and get the goods early - well apparently what ever she has to tell me is at her house and she doesn't want to get it wrong, so I have to wait till she actually gets home. I have 15 minutes before I can call her again and I'm obsessing over what it is that she couldn't tell me over the phone at work.

Evil woman.
