I've put Beautiful Stranger on hiatus, and I've deleted some one shots I did - I'm not feeling the love at the moment. I am however working on two Carlisle x Bella fics and a one shot for the http://www.fanfiction.net/~spankthemonkey4u comp that is currently running.
Why does my mojo keep fucking off??? I would love a few days just to write, that would be epic!

I think that's your problem Saz - thinking that writing mojos are able to do more than one day at a time. It's perfectly normal for writing to only take place on one day, and then for the mojo to feck off for a few days. It always comes back, and in the meantime, it's better for your sanity if you just wait patiently for it, rather than getting angry with it for abandoning you.
I don't write every day, but I don't get down when I can't do it (I know, it's alright for me, I don't suffer with depression) - I do something else instead, or I do nothing but don't beat myself up about it. It's not possible to write for days and days without let up - that's a sure way to burn out. Those days of not being able to write are essential breathers, so make the most of them by getting on with something else - they make you hungry for words when you feel like writing again.
Don't be so hard on yourself. Writing is hard work, and it's draining. Get on with the business of living when you can't get up the energy to write - that way you'll have more to write about :)
