Wrote a drabble for the slash100 Danger challenge.

Jam, Merry/Pippin, G

Writing the drabble was a reward for working on a larger story I've got cooking.

Why is it that I have a hobby that I have to force myself to do most of the time? I'm working on a fair-sized project (well, for me, anyhow) which I started, in part, to procrastinate on a vid which I started to procrastinate on a larger writing project. And now I want to write little drabbles and such because they are so much easier.

So, I make the rules. "You must write 150 words before you can check your email." "If you finish this scene, you may write a drabble." "If you don't get 1000 words done this weekend, no-one will love you ever again."

Rules help. How do you make yourself write? Or vid or draw or whatever other creative things you do.

And now, to shower. But only if I use the time to plan the next scene in my fic.

Don't be. I read an article by him once about how he hated it when the sun came out, because he was afraid his friends would come by and want him to play. (as it were.) That to me sounds like the life of NO fun at all!

Harry Turtledove, OTOH, does an hour on one project, then an hour on the next, then an hour on the third... and he's pumping out books upon books each year.
