Well, I did actually manage to write something for the Fairy Tale Anthology. I had given up completely last week--after trying for MONTHS to come up with something. I had lots of ideas that seemed good initially, but when I tried to actually write them I couldn't get anything to work. So I gave up. Decided to just throw in the towel and not worry about it.

Yeah...right. Don't even ask me how many assignments I didn't complete when I was in school. I was one of those hopelessly geeky kids who wouldn't/couldn't even consider not finishing an assignment. The good thing is I pased that on to my son. The bad thing is that my mind considered the Fairy Tale Anthology an "assignment." So even though I had resigned myself to not writing anything, apparently my subconscious was wringing its hands and pacing and looking at the calendar and muttering about deadlines. So as I was starting to drift off to sleep Saturday night, I got a sudden inspiration. Ended up getting out of bed--much to Scott's annoyance--and writing.

Finished writing it at 5:30 am Tuesday morning. Sent it to "he who points out things" and got it back from him tonight. Made the adjustments he "pointed out" and sent it off.

Of course, now both Scott and Sam are annoyed with me because for the past 3 days (actually nights since that is when I tend to write) they have been hearing "Go away, I'm writing!" I suppose there is some validity in the "Do you always have to wait until the last minute to do everything?" that they have both been muttering. But hey, what can you do? You are either inspired or you are not.

*groans* Though really, I HOPE that I can come up with something for "Endings and Beginnings" a little sooner than the last week of March.
