Please Don't Be The End

I don't know what to do guys. I just feel stuck. I don't know why but Just Add Magic just seems completely stalled. I don't know what to do, every time I tried to sit down and write, I would hit a wall and get distracted and give up. I thought maybe I just wasn't a huge fan of the idea. But now I have a new idea I was working on (that I figured would be easier because I seem to write better in first person) but it was slow going too. I would just...stop. The only thing I've really successfully completed was a flash fiction thing I did that I'm debating let see the light of day. It's not because it's awful, it's just that for some reason it feels really personal to me and I don't think I would be able to take it getting torn apart in revisions.

But that's it. I'm just freaking out if my writing brain is gone-what if it is? What if I can never write again? Or, at least not well? And Jesus Christ will someone kick Being Evil out the door?!?! I just want it edited so I can think of what to do.

Has anyone edited a fiction novel before? Any basic pointers? When do you think you're ready for beta readers? I hate showing my noob-ness but I just can't find the answer.

Final Stress-Out

Finals suck. They're just really long, hard, cryptic tests that take up way too much time in very hot weather. Who does well in that kind of environment? Cramped in a stifling hot room with a bunch of other miserable people taking a six page test. Gee, that sounds like fun.

I'm a little moody slash stressed slash ready to tear my fudging hair out. And of course what am I doing instead of studying? Writing a blog post. Man, I can never do what I'm supposed to WHEN I'm supposed to can I? Geezus it's already 9:45....I'm so toast. I'll type another post from the other side of the grave. CUZ I'M GONNA DIE! You know...in case you didn't get that....yeah...

Why do we need finals? Can't we all just get A's and go home?
