Having decloaked over in Delurking 1, I'm going to take a baby step toward full Buffista status and pretend I'm here for a productive reason. (Rationalizations are FUN!)
I'm a wanna-be fiction author who is trying to make writing a daily habit. But I'm also a major procrastinator and need to learn to treat writing daily more like an ought-to-do rather than a wanna- do (but I ought to get the other, more important things on my to-do list done first).
Maybe if I start participating here, that will help me make the switch. It's odd that living up to someone else's expectations could feel more motivating than living up to my own.
Aaaannnnd just now my daughter got home from school, and I ought to (have to) get downstairs. I'll wander back here later.
Yes, welcome, Ice!
Maybe we could try drabbling again. That's a good way to get your feet wet.
I was just thinking of the drabbles.
I need something to get me jumpstarted. I had all these fic ideas after Star Trek XI came out and even got a couple done, but now I'm stalled out. I need inspiration, again.
Drabbles could be the thing. Maybe a daily drabble prompt?
I have been thinking of the drabbles lately too. I'm trying to write more, even though I still think I suck at it.
Yeah, I need to fucking write something. And/or actually submit some of my better stories somewhere.
Before the Flu of Doom which has eaten the last six days, I took out an old project and started rewriting as a YA, and it was coming so easily! It was always meant to be a YA, I think, and I just didn't know it.
I have five pages so far (whoopee) but I haven't gotten much farther yet.
Yay, Amy! That's great. Good luck with the re-write.
