Yeah, I need to fucking write something. And/or actually submit some of my better stories somewhere.

Because books.

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Daily is too often for me, but I am ready to do more drabbling. I'm taking a break from writing at the moment, but I could handle that much, I think.

“Not dead yet!”

WOOOOOO Amy!

I am still stuck like a stuck thing on my current WIP, but I hope to get going again. Tomorrow, I shouldn't actually have to drive forty-seven places in one day, so I may just stay in my jammies all day and try to write.

I think daily prompts might be nice for one reason, at least: if one day's doesn't appeal, then there's a new the next day, and so on.

Doing it just once a week makes it easy to get out of the habit, I think. And no one has to do it, of course!

We could have different people post a prompt for every day of the week.

That's a very good point.

And sj has a good suggestion.

I am in favor. I'd even volunteer to to take a day.

Maybe whoever has a prompt can post it?

Here's one for today, since it's a) the start of a new month, and b) the day the delurking thread opened: welcome.

I could use some hopeful ~ma, too. Just heard the zombie book proposal went out to five editors. Meep.
