If I were to draw John Sheppard...
If I were to draw John Sheppard, I wouldn't use photo refs. Not at first. To make my life easier, I'd copy other drawings.
If I were to draw John Sheppard.
Did a hunt, and found that not all John Sheppard art is created equal. A couple I'd copy:
Crysothemis' work
Or WolfenM's (yes, I know that's Rodney)
The colored pencils are out and there's an outline of Sheppard in blue and green because I'm in an odd place with writing at the moment. I have fleeting fics that flicker across my mind, too quick to capture.
Then when I start to write, I get partway through and shut down.
It's not just that I run out of energy (though often I am writing late at night). The story just ... clicks off. Like a candle that's snuffed.
Never had this problem before. It could be reflection of how scattered my energies have been. And still are.
Not sure what to do about it. I have a Cho story (Mentalist fandom) that wants to be written, and the occasional SGA ficlet niggles at me. It's getting a little frustrating.

CHO!!!
I have a stupid fic idea rattling around my head. I know how frustrating that can be, and I'm not even a writer. I would imagine it's even worse when you (you) know you are a writer and can't get stuff out.
CHO!!!
