Muses are fucking fickle things

So, this happened in comments for Premieres between me and @seepunkrun

Punk: Yep, that blowjob is still super hot, and I still have lots of feelings
about their feelings for each other. Especially that moment on the phone
when Chris wants Zach with him now so they can go inside and have dinner. ❤

Me: Yeah, I like that moment when Chris wants Zach there *right now*…
And now I’m wondering what that first trip out was like.  How awkward
was it when Zach first showed up, and how quickly did it melt away?  
Damn.  And I really need to finish Cleaving…  

Punk: This time through, I was wondering about how that first trip went,
too–do they fall back on their friendship even though it feels filled
with awkward potential now, or do they try to kiss hello and it’s weird,
or is it not weird and they get a little carried away and the dogs are
still in their crates in the entryway and they have to put kissing on
hold to deal with life first or do they just go ahead and get all the
way carried away, first, before they deal with everything else.  I have questions.

Me: I know!  Poor Cleaving boys… stuck in that hot tub, hard and getting
wrinkly while my muse is all “but would the Premiere boys fuck the first
night?  Or would it take longer?”  Muses are fucking fickle things.  At
least if I decide I have to write this, readers of  Cleaving already
know the ending is happy.  I’m not being THAT cruel.  But those poor
wrinkled prunes of newlyweds… do you think hardons get wrinkly if
they’re in the water too long?

FWW, a bit…”

look, you don’t have to update on any kind of schedule. you just don’t. I hope that you can find some quiet moments amid all the busy stuff in your life and delve into the stuff about the story that brings you joy and lets you get immersed in that world. basically TAKE YOUR TIME

Thank you for that!  I really do appreciate it.  I’m just afraid that the longer it goes, the harder it will be to get immersed.  So I’m going to try to get back in sooner rather than later.

*flails* So much love for this story. Take as much time as you need with the finale, but try not to overthink it. I’m sure it’ll be as perfect as the rest. <333

Thank you!  And you know I’m totally overthinking it.  Sigh.  I have a plan.  I’m pretty sure it’s a good one.  But for some reason I’m second guessing   But I’m going to try to get something down and see if it works.

Thank you for bringing this universe alive. While I will miss it, thank you for giving us this iteration of Pinto. It is a beautiful, kind universe. I have enjoyed Nathan and Margo. Babbo has become a favorite nickname. Be happy with how you finish it. If you are, we will be, too!! Appreciate you sharing your talent.

What a sweet thing to say!  I’m so glad to hear you’ve enjoyed it.  I really have, too.  I don’t know why I’m having such a difficult finishing it. 

I so appreciate your kind words.  And it’s inspiring for me.  So thank you for that.  I hope the end lives up to the rest, but I think maybe I’m moving past my paralysis.

Please update and publish this

I know, I know…I’ve had crazy rl and writer’s block from hell and all that’s really left is fluff and smut and it’s just not flowing well. I have more than 3k words and probably two or three more scenes to write, and it’s making me crazy. Add to that the pressure that it probably really is the last thing I’ll write for Bleary!verse and therefore it CANNOT SUCK, and I’ve basically become paralyzed. I’m sorry. It will come when it does, and I really haven’t given up, but I’m not going to force it (or it really will suck, and how anticlimactic would that be). I’m trying to post a snippet to get myself excited again…
