Lately ive been feeling very overwhelmed and stressed out about my everyday life. Every week i go to college for most of the day. The classes are pretty challenging but the classes are packed with constant project after project. I have little time to do a lot and its making me feel very pressured which for me is really bad considering i have a short fuse. If the classes didn't restrain my time enough ive still got work to focus on. Nothing too hard. I have a job at Giant where i push carts and bag groceries. Its a nice job but it sometimes really P***es me off. Especially when it seems that stuff is put off on me there. Not to mention it cuts down my time i have for school making me feel more pressured. To add to the stress to those who DONT know i am writing a fan fic. The lack of time is really starting to cut away from my fan fic and i feel im letting people down which is upsetting me more. I feel overworked and stressed out about things lately cause i feel everything is closing in on me. Please help me.

wait on the fanfic for now, at least until school gets a little easier. schooling is more important (i hate to say).

Take a break from the fanfic, definitely. If people yell at you to hurry up and write more, throw a can of soup at them.

Thats why i feel so rushed with my fan fic. Im afriad that if i took a long break from my fan fic to get things in order, when i finally do release the next chapter they would be like " WELL IT ABOUT TIME!!!" or "WHAT THE F TOOK YOU SO LONG?!"

Well don't feel pressured to write it at all. Don't worry about it. Write in a word document your ideas NOW, just jot them, don't detail them, then try not to think about it at all for a while.

Funny thing is when i said i know what im doing with my fan fic i mean i have like every detail of it etched in my brain. And its not only the fanfic that makes me feel pressured its also contributing factors of school and my life in general.

you should put your college priorties first. Then when you have free time work on your fan fic.

Peram that was some interesting advice you gave our NINTU writer. As wrote by you. "If people yell at you to hurry up and write more, throw a can of soup at them" & "Then you throw a can of soup at their grandma." (on 2nd post) I started howling with laughter, that was funny.
But anyway... Apparently I give Sage advice "Shadow: yes absol im in need of your sage like advice"
Ah poor Shadow. Here is what I reckon to help you become calm. 1: DO WHAT THE OTHERS ARE SAYING! "TAKE A BREAK FROM YOUR FANFIC!" 2: Listening to music-your favorite song(s) most advisably...it works for me! 3: Think of other things, rather than what is troubling you. 4: Talk about it to someone. 5: If possible-get another job. Or disscuss things with your boss/adviser.

I agree with everyone else..Take a step back, and think of the positive things and negatives... Take a break from your fanfic, when you finally get the time you be able to make a much better chpater!! And I fell your pain about the whole project situation, but for that you just have to grin and bare it and do it...If don't think so negatives the projects won't be so bad (>___<)
