whaaa?

Ok, what's with people mailing me to ask about updates to various fics today? I know there's no way they can know what's going on with me... even though I have posted in my bio at TtH and at my sites that I am going through personal stuff and put up a link to this LJ, it still irritates me a little. I'm not exactly concerned with writing fic just now. I feel like sending screechy reply mails telling them to piss off. I DIDN'T, but I sure felt like it.

My mother has cancer. She's being pissy. She's driving me into a psychotic state. I'm not exactly concerned about the length of time between updates today... thank you, piss off.

Ugh!

Anyone ever seen that show on Oxygen called Snapped! ? I'm headed there. For real though. I give exactly two shits about working on fanfic right now. Two. My brain disconnected on the day I heard the news about the cancer. I haven't even read much of anything since that day. I don't want anyone to get all angry on my behalf. I just wanted to vent.

That is all.

Mothers are always 'picky', especially to their children, and even more when they were ill. I get that all the time from my mum. *sigh* All I can say is good luck and I am here to listen.

Tell the asshat to piss off. Seriously. Or better yet, fake an auto-response that you're not writing because you're busy taking care of your mom while she's in CHEMO!

People like that are the reason the gene pool needs chlorine.

In the mean time, *hugs*.

Hey, im not gonna bug you about an update. I just wanted to tell you, i know what your going through. Cancer is scary, no matter the form. My mom died from cancer when I was like 15, and my dad was in just a shock so I really just had to take over. And then I got it myself, and just got into remission. You just gotta take things real slow, and your mom is gonna have really bad mood swings. It'll especially be hard when she starts to lose her hair (assuming of course she has chemotherapy). Its best to just try to help her as much as you can. And for the people bugging you, ignore them. There just ignorant. I'm really truly sorry about your mom. And if you ever need help, or just need to talk, it can sumtimes help to talk to strangers, lol.

I usually don't do so much of the responding, but I'm sorry to hear about your mum. People really need to learn that shit happens sometimes that we can't control. I love your fics and can't wait to find out what happends next, but that doesn't mean I have a right to bitch at you about not giving one of your wonderful updates. Tell them to try writing and living at the same time and see how often they are able to update. Take all the time you need for your family, they are what is really important.
Ciao,
Cessa

PS: I know you didn't want people to be angry on your behalf, but sometimes people's selfishness just pisses me off.

I just wanted to give you a pointless but thought driven net *hug*.

It's so hard dealing wtih sick parents. You're going to have a meltdown occassionally, and at some point, you're probably be talking yourself out of spitting in their food. And its very Mother Theresa to remind yourself that they are suffering, but you'll be of no help to your mother if you work yourself ragged until the mailman finds you fetal in the bushes muttering about hives and dishsoap.

Take good care of you, and that will help you take good care of your mom. Cancer isnt a death sentence. My grandfather lived til he was well into his 70's with 4 different kinds of cancer.

There's always help just waiting to find you. Even if it is in a bottle of tequila at 3 am.

I just wanted to give you an e-hug. You don't know me, and I only know you through your writing style, but, I just felt compelled to give you a hug. One of my best friends once gave me, when I was having a really bad day, the best advice that I've ever heard. "Five minutes at a time. That's all you have to concentrate on maiking it through. Just five minutes. And if they're the worst five minutes of your life, well, at least they're over. Just always make it through the next five minutes and you'll be fine."

I've actually caught myself thinking at one point or another lately 'Geez, I wonder when Echo will put out some more fic.' And then I give myself the Italian dope-slap and go 'Crikey, her mum's got cancer. Leave her alone.'

Plus I make it a policy not to hassle people about their fics. It's like trying to teach a pig to whistle.

Good luck with your Mom's illness, and not having her driving you to a psychotic state. This is something I ran across not too long ago, it's someone's experience with their parent's cancer - done in comic form. Not sure if you'll appreciate it or not, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
