I know what you mean! Gold’s name and the title are both stubborn problems for me as well! I’m still working on your fic, of course. I just don’t have much time or energy and at over 5k words, it’s just over half done. I’ll be punishing myself this weekend, I think, until it gets done. YIKES that sounds cold! But damn… getting up early to go to the gym?? You’re brutal, Sam. I could never make myself do that. How’s your own fic coming? How’s the week going? -Santa

Hey Santa!

Don’t punish yourself too much 🙁 *hugs you* I don’t want the fic to make you miserable. You can do it though! One last push and then Tuesday it will all be over … although that’s less than a week and really kinda scary. I’m super behind on my fic as well. A lot has been happening IRL and my writing time/willpower has completely gone out the window. However, I’m determined to finish, so I’ll be right there with you in the writing trenches this weekend.

Heh I don’t make myself go to the gym as often as I should. Just lately everything has been so crazy I’ve barely been at all. I’ve decided not to worry too much now and just start again in the New Year and try and get back into a routine. I’m incredibly unfit and so I do want to go. I’m really tired of always being the most unfit person in a group. Basically I go first thing in the morning because if I start my day, there’s no way I’ll go later. Also, I’ve been told about the video game analogy, where you start off the day with a full power bar (or not so full usually) and then over the day it gets less, so do the most difficult thing in the day first. That’s the theory anyway.

I really can’t wait to read the fic when you reveal who you are 🙂 I have absolutely no guesses, so you have been a very good secret santa heh. I do have a title and Gold’s name now, so at least that is settled. Have you solved your problems with those things yet? How has your week been going?
