Writer's Blockkkkkkkkk

I can't even stand this. I haven't been able to write anything for the past... week? Two weeks? I'm not even sure. It sucks because I really really want to RP right now, but I just tried formulating a tag and it was bone-crunchingly excruciating. I couldn't even string two sentences together that made any sort of sense, and it was certainly not in the Master's voice. I haven't even been able to write songs lately. I'm just... stuck, man. Stuck. There's a bunch of different reasons-- lowered self-confidence due to my recent exits from some RPGs, dissatisfaction with RP and fandom in general, some medical stuff I'm dealing with right now, the season, relationships that seem to be going down the tubes...

Sooooo I'm not really looking for sympathy here, just wanted to give a heads-up and apologies to those I ought to be doing stuff with right now. In nearly three years of playing him I've never lost the Master's voice entirely, so this is a little scary, but I hope this phase goes away soon. I miss playing him, and I miss who I used to play with :(

I don't know about your experience, but in mine he also tends to be REALLY LOUD, metaphorically. As in "Why are you dabbling with that useless robot girl? What about ME? Aren't there some half-formed plans you've got in there for me to drastically improve upon?"

I've never had the headvoice experience, quite, where a character goes MEMEMEME. With the Master, for me, it's more that I've played him for about a year now, so playing anyone else means making an effort, heaven forbid, and he fits so well. I can use the way I think to write him, and it meshes. It comes easily.

I do have periods where other characters are 'stronger'—I'll really wish for a chance to play my metacrisis, for instance (I don't know why, but my metacrisis is the one I usually have brief I REALLY WANT TO DO SOMETHING WITH ASH periods. Probably because she's very different than the proper Time Lords). But the Master is a baseline. I rarely go HELL YES, I want to play you. It's more, oh, I'm RPing? *whips out the Master voices by reflex*

tl;dr!
