I've been staring at this [community profile] hp_friendship fest, realizing that I'm dismal I'm prompting. I'm great at coming up with prompts! If by great, you mean prolific. But I can't . . . God, I'm such a control freak--I can't let any of them go. Everything I think up I think, "but I want to write that!" I guess it's good you can't see any of the prompts, because I'd also be thinking that about everyone else's prompts.

The thing is, I really don't know if I can even do this fest. I'm kinda burned out; I've done a lot of fests lately and they sorta make me crazy. And I want to work on some original writing as well.

But I keep looking at [community profile] hp_friendship thinking, "Prompting is not a commitment! Prompting is fun! Someone else will write all the stories I want, and I just have to read them!" And yet, somehow, I just can't do it.

Am I the only one who's this possessive/controlling?
