She rubs her eyelids and wonders if she's going to admit this to him, but if she offers intimacy maybe he'll return it--that's the way lives entangle, one secret for another until people are so wrapped up in each other they don't know which bits originally belonged to themselves or to the other person. - from "PTSD as a way of life" by ethrosdemon

That's the classic writer trap! It's not even just fic writers who fall victim to this, waiting for more of their show/book/whatever, it's all writers, who are like, I'll wait until I'm SMARTER to write a book or I'll wait until I've thought about this more. No! Forge ahead! ::laughs:: I can write a different story when I'm smarter, but I won't *get* smarter until I've written this one! - starandrea in a comment here
