It's been a hideous, horrible, very-bad, not-at-all-good day. Nothing dreadful has happened, it's just been (for reasons too dull to catalogue) annoying, unproductive, dull and thoroughly depressing; I've been in tears twice, for no real reason - just frustration and a mild desperation.

In between the everyday awfulness, I've been trying to write my novel, headphones in my ears, ambient music on loud to blot out the noisy distractions (and they are many) but I’m just not making progress. I'm beginning to wonder if I should put his novel on hold and try for another one; one I have a better handle on (I have four sketched out, she said, rolling her eyes at the absurdity).

I done 555 words of Entanglement today; how sad is that? (Very)

And there’s been bugger all on TV to distract and lift the spirits so I re-affixed the headphones and wrote fic instead; 1,354 words of the Owl/Academy thing. It'll need a thorough seeing-to of course, being little more than a stream-of-consciousness at the moment, but it might be fit to post tomorrow morning.

I hope everyone in the West-Country (Snail!) is alright; the weather is ghastly here, too, but a least we're not slipping beneath the waves. Please let us know you're OK. I'm off to bed...

What a terrible day to follow the celebration of your birth! I tell you, sometimes life sucks big time - but we're with you, girl - major hugs.

Ouch. Sorry to hear about the horrible day *hugs* Hope things will improve soon?

But you still managed to create something, so hail to the fic you wrote.

:::Huggles tightly::: I'm there with you today too, Hun. It must be something in the air for writers today, nothing but suck all for the Muses have danced off into the night with our minds...

Depression is a bitch.

This kind of mood is not forever Gillyp, sparkles will be soon back. It's okay to cry or to feel sad , it is a natural process, but you are going to overgo this and to found again your usual self only richer. Try and give you a treat each day. Follow your muses, they are going to help you. Love and hugs.

You're a wonderful, wonderful person who is kind and lovely and who deserves much happiness. I hope you feel better soon. :)

(Oh, and 555 words? I can't even write ten words at the moment. :( *headdesk* Good luck with your writing! :D)

Hugs and much, much love,

Erya. :)

So sorry it's been an awful day for you!

More Owl/Academy thing sounds good, though. I hope that's not TOO shallow of me.

Hope your night was a restful one and that you wake up refreshed!

::hugs::

I'm so sorry, Gilly. You seem to be just about at your wit's end with all the nasty stuff in your life.

Not that that's gonna do you much good I guess, but, as I've already been complaining about yesterday, I can't write worth shit these days either, and since I've heard a few others say the same, I'm blaming it on my favourite cause: the weather. Nothing much that can be done about it, or could have been done to prevent it. And it usually gets better on its own -- eventually.

In your case I hope that at least some of the stuff that *could* be better, soon improves!

*hugs*

Oh babe! I'm fine thanks, head well above water. I'm just so sorry you had a poopy day yesterday. Not fair hon, not fair at all. I hope things are a million times better today. Want to borrow my big pointy stick? Want me to bring a bottle of gin, and stand on my head in the corner and tell you dirty stories?

Take care of yourself, ok?

::hugs the stuffing out of you::
