Crotcrank

[gilpin25]

Am so cranky/crotchety I could invent a whole new word for it. Like crotcrank. Actually I rather like that and I have to snap out of this soon because I'm normally the one who snaps other people out of it. Hubby is currently looking at me in a bewildered fashion and offering me the TV remote out of fear.

Anyway I've done the usual cheer-me-up things - wasted ages choosing a new David Tennant icon and then gone for one of the first ones I saw - and sighed over my metamorfic_moon story, which has given me no trouble whatsoever, apart from the fact that it's weird, I'm not in a romantic mood (which is a snag as it's my genre) and I've written 2000 words without a prompt in sight. It also shows every sign of wanting to be an epic, and I really didn't want it to be. So that's crotcranked me off as well.

Right, whinge over. If anyone hasn't seen the R/T picture drumher did, to illustrate one of mrstater's fics, then it's great and I just love the colours, expressions, hair and both sets of feet. The only thing I can draw is horses and they have yet to feature in any R/T story I've done. Now there's an idea... ;)

I keep reading that crotchcrank, which just can't be good.

Didn't we explain at metamorfic_moon that one of the romantic sub-genres is weird? Smut, fluff, weird...

If it makes you feel any better, mine's not looking to be short, either, much as I wanted it to be, and I'm really not sure if it's a drama at all, as it has very little plot, and is more of a melodramedy if anything. Which can't be any more good than crotchcranks.

So now do I stare at your icon, godricgal's, or the feet frame in mine?

Tis an excellent icon - he's looks so intense *shivers*. I offer you one of the fruits of my labour today, hoping that it will help cheer you up just a tad.

I'm sorry that your Meta fic is making you crotcranked. Mrs T is right though, romance is an umbrella for many things. Mine too is looking like it's going to be a long one, and I'm trying some pretty weird things, which is concerning me slightly.

drumher's drawing is wonderful, I keep going back to peek at it.

Anyway, hope you feel more the thing tomorrow, fingers crossed.

If it would cheer you up, I'd give you a sneak preview of your birthday icon...

it's even worse that I read it as CrotchRank, which just sounds.... nasty. and unhygienic.

I hope you feel better soon, and Crotcrank is a wonderful word.

Dear lord, that icon is drool worthy.

Hope you're feeling less crotcrank today. Have you ever tried Berroca to get you over the post-toilet hugging urgh-ness?

At least you've written something for the jumble. I'm currently languishing around the 250 word mark, owing to my boss popping in yesterday for a lengthy (and mostly unnecessary) meeting, and then my neighbour just popping in to say hello. Which was very sociable and nice of her, but not great for fic writing.
