icarusAs I was telling ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
melpemone, I'm not done writing HP. I'm just in a burned out phase, and it feels like a deeper sort of burn out then the last three. (Or four?) The stories coming to mind don't have a lot of meat to them. I don't wanna write crap just to keep writing HP.
I mean, I don't have to write well, that's something for the 10th draft, but there has to be something compelling at the core of each story. It's not there right now, not in HP stories.
It could be I'm just tired, or it could be that I need more canon to chew. But that 'core' feeling, like I have something to say, it's there in SG-1.
Perhaps I'll need to do the occasional HP story, but wait for new HP canon. Or maybe I just need to give myself time to recover, read a while.
Or perhaps something will grab me next week, I dunno. But right now, it's not there. It's not writer's block - that's different. There you feel the story, but it's constipated, stuck. This more like I'm... dry.

"No. No. Just be careful, you know, sleeping with people at work can bite you in the ass." Long pause. "It's going great with [name] by the way."
"Oh." Another pause. "That's good."
"It's doesn't bother you that..." Jack makes a wide gesture.
Daniel shakes his head and makes a face. "No, no, of course not. I mean, ascended, descended, I could hardly expect you to -"
"- it did seem kind of permanent, the death thing."
"- at least this time. I was happy for you -"
"- oh that's good, I was sort of hoping that -"
Daniel nods his head vigorously. "Um-hmm, yeah, I know."
"Good, good."
Another long pause.
Daniel askss, "It's not... serious... between you and -?"
"Naw, no," Jack shakes his head. "You and -?"
Daniel shrugs, "It's, you know."
"Ah. Good."
Another long pause.
"So. Talk to you later?"
"Yeah. Glad we had this little chat." Jack backs away, nearly walking into the wall.
Daniel coughs a little. "Yeah, me too."
