why is it next to impossible to find a hotel for under 115$/night that isn't a 2 star falling down roach home? This is why I don't travel like I used to. I have found two that are under 90 that look feasible and aren't on the bedbug registry. Yes, I checked. I have a thing about bugs. And yes I'll still strip the bed all the way down and look before getting in. One is a historic hotel but it's further away (closer to Kings Island in Mason which is north of Cincinatti) and one is only 10 miles from the cemetery. Yes, I'm going to visit a cemetery. This is what I do. most of you know that now everyone does. Actually I'm going to the renn fest saturday and the cemetery sunday. I figure i'll stay at the La Quinta. If I were staying longer, I'd do the historic one but I'm mostly just crashing there for one night. La Quinta is closer, gives me more cemetery time and has a pool that I shall use and harm myself in because you know and I know my arm isn't up for that but I'll do it anyway.

I've made no progress on my writing woes. It doesn't help when you sort of feel like you're hanging out there by yourself without much support. Guess we all feel like that from time to time.

Hopefully things will get better on the writing front. I'm jealous about your trip to Cinci. Bedbugs included.

thanks. I debated the renn fest really. I literally have the place and the acts memorized

But it's a good excuse to see the cemetery.

Good luck with the hotel hunting front. Yeah, bugs in hotels= EW EW EW.

Oi, I feel the exact same way whenever I have my writing woes, particularly ones for FMA. My writing friends that I chat often don't write FMA nor are in that fandom, so I tend to have no support there at that front. For my [livejournal.com profile] fmabigbang story I at least have my beta supporting me, but sometimes I wish I could have more people holding my hand as the story is getting harder to write, lol.

Cool! I'll let you know if I do need some ideas to bounce off with. I don't mind if you want to talk over some ideas with me too. :)

sounds like a plan. I find that really helps when I get stuck. even if the person doesn't give me an idea hearing it outloud/on an IM screen helps

=_= bedbugs....... *may never become un-paranoid* and my dad ranted endlessly for a while when he treked across Canada about how he couldn't find a decent place to sleep at a 'reasonable' price. Prices are bleh :/

D: hope your writers block clears up soon!

bedbugs suck as you know all too well

hotel prices suck

thanks. it's not so much a block as a 'why am i doing this when no one even looks at it?'

THIS. I hate it when that happens to me, bleh. I think most people feel that way time to time.

yeah it sucks. You know people are busy and all but it gets a little disappointing when you read this and that and it's like...will there be tit for tat. Then you feel guilty because you feel narcassitic and greedy.

then again when you put up a few things that are important to you and no one looks, it hurts.

and yes we all do feel this way from time to time I think

I have generally found Best Westerns to be Spartan but affordable.

the best westerns were over 100. I went with the la quinta at 90. it was closest to where i wanted to be.

Wow. Well, it has been about 10 years since I've taken an actual vacation. =8-0

at these prices it might be another 10. It's gotten insane. budget hotels are about 90-115$
