Just More Flailing About Fic
Nov. 8th, 2008 08:56 amWhat the hell has happened to me, writing-wise?
Two years ago, I was successfully juggling about five fic fests plus claims and random gift fic. Now, I can barely decide if I can manage to write for one holiday exchange, haven't written anything on my NaNo project for two days, and can't manage a single random fic for the life of me.
I've been considering signing up for Yuletide. But I've never done it before, and it looks a bit intimidating. And from reading the fics I have that have come from Yuletides passed...yeeek. Amazing writers. But then I remember that I'm still wibbling over the Silent Hill fic exchange (if sign ups are even still open, orz) and trying to finish NaNo.
It's not a lack of desire or drive, it's a lack of ideas and ability. And maybe time, too. I need to be honest with myself, I am a lot busier than I used to be. But even when I do set aside time to sit down and write, very little seems to come.
I'm going to try some more today. Since I'm stuck in Zelda and not up to going anywhere today. I'm starting to feel like Johnny Depp in Secret Window. In the sense that I've been hanging around in a bathrobe with crazy hair, chainsmoking, living off junk food and completely without any inspiration. Not the going crazy/being stalked part. ;)
Oh, and my spare headphones broke last night. Now I am without music. :(
On the plus side, my stomach is feeling better and while I am currently stiff and stuffy and slightly headache-y, I'm feeling better than I have been.
