I just want someone to yell at me when I don't write :P

little_e · Feb 8, 2014

I can yell back, too.

I don't care what you write. I'm not looking for beta-feedback because I'm not at that stage. It would be nice to discuss ideas and bounce plot-thoughts off each other if you feel like it. (I'm writing a high-fantasy thing with fae, goblins, trolls, humans, and the French Revolution, in case that sort of thing bores the crap out of you.) But mostly I just want someone who'll challenge me to stop wasting time on FB and get the damn thing written! And I will happily do the same in return for you.

Ice_Twin · Feb 8, 2014

Haha I know this feeling very well. I've had a whole day off and have managed to write just under 800 words. Yet I have also watched a lot of How I met your mother, cooked, washed and wasted a lot of time online. Feel free to shout at me.

I will happily hollar at you, little_e.

STOP WASTING TIME ON FB/AW AND GET THE DAMN THING WRITTEN, LITTLE_E!

There. Job done.

I don't like to yell, or get yelled at.

But maybe we can go gather berries sometimes.

little_e · Feb 9, 2014

You are all so nice!

(Now get to work! Except for the donkey. He can do whatever he feels like until berries are in season.)

Git to work lazy ingrate. I've seen my grandmother with third degree arthritis type faster than you.

Kidding

On a related note I really need to get to work myself instead of wasting my time yelling at you.

EMaree · Feb 9, 2014

GET TO WORK, LITTLE_E. WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING AT? SOME OF US HAVE BEEN HARD AT WORK WATCHING BATTLESTAR GALACTICA ALL WEEKEND AND HERE YOU ARE-- wait. Ah, balls. I forgot watching excellent sci-fi doesn't automatically make writing happen.

BSG = Most awesome scifi TV series ever! I finished season 3. Trying to postpone season 4, cuz you know it's the last one so I must ration myself.

I'm so smitten with it that I make myself watch the current shows "Killer Women" and "Hawaii-Five-O" just to see Anders, Caprica Six, and Sharon.

And the show totally makes writing happen, at least in my head. It makes me want to write a book like it, except I'm too lame to actually write anything remotely close to the sheer unparalleled awesomeness that is BSG.

Haha, I'm exactly the same -- just finished S3 yesterday (such an awesome ending *hums 'All along the watchtower'*) and now I'm actually getting writing work done to avoid watching S4, because I don't want the good times to end.

A new BBC show, The Muskateers, recently had James Callis in it (playing Gaius, naturally -- he seems to have a Mark Sheppard-ish habit of being the same character no matter who he plays) and it made my day.

I think AW needs to have a like button..

Everything in life needs a like button! In this case though, you could use reputation points or whatever they're called. Only difference is they're private.

Anyway, I need a yelling buddy too. Sigh. So many books (to read and write) but SO MANY distractions.

Please no, not unless they are also going to install an 'eat shit and die painfully' button as well.

It does. It's the rep button.

Niiicola · Feb 10, 2014

I'm starting to think I need somebody to come to my house and hit me/administer mild electric shocks when I don't write. And I mean that in a completely non-kinky way. Ergh.

Ketzel · Feb 10, 2014

Screaming increases my endorphins. I'm more than happy to donate a few screams to a good cause.

WRITE DAMMIT! SIT YOUR LAZY BUTT DOWN AND WRITE! DON'T YOU KNOW HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOUR OPPORTUNITIES? WRITE RIGHT NOW!

Let me know if it works for you. It never works for me. *sighs* But on the bright side, I can feel those endorphins!

I just want someone to yell at me when I don't write :P
