Yay, spam!

I am so frustrated! I can't seem to be able to manage writing anything on the computer anymore!

I wrote a few pages in longhand yesterday, but when I write in longhand, I get stalled after a while because with every word I add to the fic, I think of the time I'll be spending typing up all the shit I've written (fyi, I think typing up fic that was written in longhand is one of the things that could drive a person to suicide). So I sat down and decided to write something on the computer, like the normal modern equipment using girl that I am.

And I can't seem to do it. Somehow, pushing buttons on the computers to make fic doesn't work anymore. I opened my Ten/Jack fic, edited a whole lot in the first three parts, and then started writing. I managed to write a glorious 252 words before getting stuck. I've even thought about reviving stabbed!Wilson because I'm getting desperate here. What is this shit?

It's not that I don't have any ideas. There are as many ideas as always, and I've even gotten past my procrastination habit, because I really want to write. But it's not happening. Why oh why?!

Any tips or ideas how I should deal with this?

Hm, ideas? Not really but (you know: one braincell) ... Do you use Stenografie? I mean if I've to write something not matters if it is at work or for a story of mine I've to write it down quickly and I always use Steno. Well you have to type all that stuff anyway but in the first view of the moment it seems not so much as you've written it in normal longhand. Or try to write down all the prompts for your ideas and than do nothing for a few days with the prompts. Maybe not even think about your stories, just write down any prompt of any idea and after a few days, (maybe a week or after the weekend) you could be able to try it again with typing. (You can play with your ideas, switch them between the several fics if that could be possible in the fics)
See, no good ideas at this front but I always try to do my best ;-))
