I knew there was a reason I haven't tried to write guysex like this in...what, eight years? Give or take. Bad enough that I--no lie--broke out into giggling when I typed the word 'cock'. (Ffs, I've read these sort of things for how damned long now? Even've had the words in my head all damned day and it was *fine*. ) Then blargh, it just all falls to bits. I've just been words words words words words *all week*, finally in the home stretch and then I get giggly and *then* it grinds to an absolute and utter halt as Yay! the words just disappear somewhere. Hours on this bit now, and I've managed to eek out maybe three (tiny) paragraphs of it.
Also, had another moment there of thinking I was 34, which is still like a couple months early. Was gonna go 'am I 34 or 3+4 = 7 hur hur' when I was like...wait, I'm 33.
And it doesn't help to have an outline to refer to when the whole rest of the scene is summarized by one bullet note: "teh pr0n". Oh, way to go, me. /golfclap
10K+ words though, before it all locked up. Suppose that's worth something.

Date: 2007-06-30 08:26 pm (UTC)But to be honest, I had definitely spent the whole day thinking about teh pr0n, and had imagined how all the words were gonna go, which was why I was so very irked when they went poof. Damned words are such little teasing tarts /shakes fist Sleep helped (damned insomnia the night before kinda had me crashing I think). That and the whole daydream in the shower trick. And a canned coffee drink. :D :D I'm so going to dedicate this to caffeine, just watch me, I will~! ♥
Suppose it wasn't surprising to have trouble with the bit though. That time I wrote something years ago was the one and only time I've ever attempted it (and oh god was it fangirl bad). I never usually feel inclined to include sex. (Brain: OH HAI GUESS WHAT *REALLY* NEEDS TO BE PART OF THIS FIC Me: OH GOD NO Brain: HA HA HA) Now I truly feel for you in regards to the whole INSxYou thing.
