What Happens When Exchange Requests Are Just Too Good

You get writer’s block, that’s what – at least for me. I got assigned a great request for Fandom 5K! That’s the good news. I absolutely adore it. Of course, that means I want to do the request justice, so right now I’m dithering over actually getting down to, you know, working on it. Because there’s always that little part of me that’s afraid I’ll mess up big time whenever a request is that good.

So, yeah, I’m falling into what we Germans call Fluchtfleiß (escape + industriousness), doing just about anything else I’ve been wanting to do for months, except working on the story. I’ve still got a month left, so it can’t be too bad, right? Right?

(Of course, that’s presupposing public transport won’t completely wipe me out, since my train gets cancelled until the end of June, starting next Wednesday, and the ones before that starting at the end of May, leaving me with a two hour bus ride instead of half an hour by train as my only option. One way.)
