I am to spend the weekend writing. Sadly, I haven’t even opened the files since I worked on them last weekend. That will mean, even more sadly, that I’m still stuck in the same place. It’s stupid really. I have the first characteristic of eleven dealt with very well, but I just can’t make the second characteristic into anything that sounds right. More accurately, it’s that everything I seem to write sounds exactly the same to me. I stuck with the same repetitive trope: Characteristic says “a.” You’d think that obvious \/ unimportant \/ simple. But it’s not. It’s really much more involved \/ important \/ complex. Blah blah blah on why. <\/p>\n

My head has turned on some kind of crapometer that won’t let me write anything now because it’s resisting that same, ridiculous, repeating structure. I don’t really know how to get around it either. I don’t understand how I could write about the first characteristic in a way that feels so good and then not be able to write anything but absolute garbage on anything that follows. Hell, it’s been sitting for a week now, and I still<\/i> don’t have a clue how to get around it.<\/p>\n
