i can't escape
my fandoms and i
cannot wait
for content so i
...create
my brain just tanked
got ADD without the H
i don't make bank
so i drink caffeine
but my page is blank
what do i do
to send this home
just like my heroes it don't work
if i try to do this on my own
i go online
got a writing group
they set the timers like a whip
and write-a-go-go's GO
inst
thirty minute dialogue
with villainous riffraff
thirty minutes to construct
cohesive paragraphs
twenty minutes for some fighting
try and keep the pace
twenty minutes left for me to
wrench tears from your face
running out of time for this
i make the worst mistake
i glance at my computer clock
and
oh shi--
browsers shouldn't have so many tabs for wikipedia because now they're all open with the hist'ry of the world and i know
that i really don't need to detail subduction zones or mycenaean garment dyes or how to find cats in tokyo
oh hey guys
keep me on task
i can edit later
note to self
research this when i got time
got resurrection and apple pies and fluffy smut in bed and werewolves
got post-apocalyptic henshin heroes and coming out of the closet and averted doom
got romance and proposals and so damn much reincarnation and a game of go
got famine and geopolitics and climate change and failed harvests and bakeries
got perfume ad campaigns and boybands and the italian renaissance
got character death and sex and regret and endings of all kinds
got kidfic and crackfic and arranged marriages and gods and royalty
got a coffee shop and the folks who work there and teachable moments
got medieval witches and some smutty vampires and amnesia
got a smug asshat and a doctor in a really skimpy dress and secret agents
got some magic immortality apples and severe life changes and ghosts so many ghosts
got kissing in the thick of battle
at the end of the world
when everything's hopeless
got a writing group
to check my privilege
and beta-read my fic
