You know what I want to write? I want to write something huge and epic. The longest thing I've ever completed was only 11,000 words long, and I wrote that with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gayjunglefever. My longest solo efforts only make it to about 8,000 words. Most of the time, it's a rare thing if I exceed 4,000.
I want to write something of at least 20,000 words (all right, so it's not that huge and epic a goal, shut up), just to prove I can. There are two flaws in this plan:
- Given that I've been writing fanfiction for about eight years and have yet to exceed 10,000 words on my own, there's a fair chance I actually can't.
- I have absolutely no ideas or inspiration. I was trying to scribble down potential plotlines earlier, and so far all I've got is 'that fic in which Jared and Jensen become hunters', which sadly isn't really setting off any magical writing sparks for me. My soul seems inexplicably set on writing something about Jared and Jensen, though. I'd sort of like to write something that isn't actually crack, for a change, but as my non-crack fics only reach 2,000 words if they're lucky that's probably not going to help my chances of succeeding in this.
Blargh. Sorry for the 'WHY CAN'T I WRITE :(' entry. Have some happiness-inducing YouTube videos to make up for it:
Jensen and Jared are charmingly gay. This is the story of the 'eyelash incident' and you've almost certainly all seen it already, but I rewatch it every so often and it never fails to leave me with a gigantic stupid grin. Hee.
An animated Clinton and Obama dance hypnotically for three minutes.
The Master just can't wait to be king!
This is a video of the Master to the tune of Avril Lavigne's 'Girlfriend', and the terrifying thing is that it's one of the best fanvids I've ever seen.
(Do you miss the Master? I miss the Master.)
