Obligatory writers-block griping

Argh, why am I blocked so hard on the Dave/Sollux thing!?

It's not like I hate it; I just can't seem to make myself open it, never mind read it over and start typing. It's not that I don't know where it's going; there are three possible endings (fairly minor variations) worked out in my head, and I've known them for a while. It's not that I don't want it finished, because frankly it would make my week to finish the thing, and might even make my whole month! It's not even that I've lost interest, because I think about it every day, and every time I visit the kinkmeme I wish I could finish and post the thing!

All I can say is argh.

OMG I had that exact same problem with Stitch Two Together (Rose/Kanaya knitting fic). I mean, I only had the one ending in mind, but I did know exactly what was going to happen and what I had to write next, and yet the closer I got to it the harder it was to make myself sit down and write the damn thing. Eventually I got to the point where I just made myself plow through it because I wanted that fucking thing done. And then I ended up basically drained/with post-fic blues, which was new for me. Hope you don't get that, by the way; it's quite irritating.

Paul Simon has more on the subject of things getting harder to do the closer you get to the end.
