omg, someone tie me to this chair and make me finish writing this damn fic! I'm procrastinating so badly I almost feel as if I should ask for an extension (which I have NEVER done before) but I know that if I do I'll just use the time to procrastinate some more. I have never had such trouble writing before, what has gotten into me?

Argh, sorry to hear that. :( I've been in the same situation for weeks now, and the only thing I can tell you is just to write. Anything. Just write one sentence. One. And then another one. I know how hard it is, and how terrible these sentences will feel, but just really try to focus on baby steps.

Or just set the timer for 5 minutes, and tell yourself you're going to write as much as you can in this amount of time. 5 minutes is not much and won't seem as daunting as having a whole fic to finish. Once again baby steps. :)

You can do it! :)

I've forced myself into a chatzy room to do writing sprints, and i just did 472 words in 20 minutes! *does happy dance*

Baby steps, yes! I'll get there, I will! *nods forcefully*

Thanks sweetie <3

Yes, come on in! I will finish this fic if it kills me! (Which it's likely to, I can feel the vein in my forehead desperate to pop, haha!)

I'm trying! I managed to write 4.5k yesterday, although I'm still not done, so an extension may be necessary, unfortunately. And I hate that, it makes me feel so guilty.

I will finish this fic though! Thanks for cheering me on, darling! <3
