the plaintive cry of the yuletide author
I wish I could just mash my brain into my keyboard until somehow my story appeared on the screen.
I would even settle for a very bad first draft.
I do have a new fun toy to play with -- the re-release of the Vertigo tarot with the lovely, surreal Dave McKean art. I've been meaning to play around with the tarot a bit, for reasons including but not limited to research for Childermass/Vinculus slash. My mother is worrying about me bringing satanic influences into her house, and I suppose if she knew about the threat of gay porn, she would be concerned about that too.

I don't write, but I'm beta-reading for someone this year, and I feel your collective pain. :( Good luck!
