Sigh. I'm frustrated.

[shipperx]

So I'm working on plans for a house for my sister (no, I didn't manage to talk my way out of it. Once she discovered how expensive it was to hire an architect, she did ye old guilt trip until I felt like the worst sister in the world for refusing.) Anyway, I haven't been writing (at all) because I've been drawing. And, much like fanfic writing, I'm now totally and completely stuck on the plans. The upstairs bedroom for my neice doesn't work the way that I thought it would.

If I had more energy to work on it, I know I could work it out. The problem is (and this goes back to why I tried ducking out of designing the house in the first place), I'm a commercial architect. I'm still muddling through on the construction details because they're not what I'm used to. Also, I freaking work 9 to 10 hours a day! I don't seem to have many wondrous plan ideas left by the time I come home to work.

It's not that I won't figure out the plans, because I will. They work out, you just have to play with them. I just know I'm going far, far more slowly than my sister wishes. I know she's frustrated that I haven't sent anything to the contractor yet. And I had believed I would have a plan and elevations by now. It simply hasn't worked out that way, and I'm stuck, stuck, stuck.

Oh well. Just needed to vent some frustration.
