...what now?

What do people who aren't writing novels do with themselves on the weekends?

Seriously... now that I've finished the first draft, and I've told myself to take a four month vacation from writing... I don't know what to do with my time anymore. I mean, even before, when I did other stuff, it was to procrastinate writing the novel.

I guess soon the Supernatural DVDs will be out, and I'll have rewatches to do and clothing to catalogue, and that will probably take up the entire month of October. So, maybe I should just enjoy this time... but still. Bored!

In other news, the Teen Wolf fandom is very strong. How do I know? Well, I have never seen an episode of Teen Wolf, nor have I ever read any Teen Wolf fanfiction... but last night I had a dream about Sterek. The blame is to be solely placed on the plethora of gifs on tumblr. I am a Sterek shipper and I've never even seen the freakin' show.

Anyway...I'm off to figure out what to do with my life now... maybe I'll get married and have a kid or something, I guess that's what other people do in order to keep themselves busy... though, that doesn't sound like something I can drop in 4 months when I need my weekends to write the second draft of my novel, so screw that plan. :P

They get back to work compiling things like 'Knowledge Timeline' for their favorite TV show :D

honestly, if you had seen the show, you probably wouldn't be a sterek shipper.

It' kinda like destiel, only more so, in that it's a ship that lives far more in fandom, than it does in the actual show it originates from. Watching the show, I just don't see the subtext for it. It's not even like Merlin/Arthur in Merlin, where the subtext is so close to text that it doesn't take more than a step to the left to see it be canon. Hell, they barely even have the gay jokes that supernatural has. Or even a close friendship/connection between the characters involved. But people shout about it so much that the actors off the show have been starting to play up to it.

your post cracked me up!
yes, kids and stuff will always get in the way of writing novels. I have so many projects on hold it's really insane. And just when I think there might be some hours to spend wisely on one of them, boom! another idea strucks.
One day I couldn't work on stuff bc the security on my computer wanted to scan everything first, so I cleaned my house, folded my laundry and had another most wonderful idea for a tabletop game.

I've seen some of the gifs for the Teen Wolf fandom, and yes, they are coming out really strong now. I might be persuaded to give them a chance, soon, maybe.

Maybe you can fill your time by reading? I remembered you have unfinished books lying around? Reading's a bit passive, so if you want something to do then a makeover of your house?

Just throwing out suggestions here :)

Hee, that was me as well thanks to my LJ friendslist. I have now caved and watched a couple of episodes but am content to wallow in the fic!
