Not dead...

Sorry I haven't been around lately. I've been in a bit of a blue funk for the last few months, as I have not been able to write to my own satisfaction, but hopefully I've finally gotten past that. :) *crosses fingers*

Been working on an original short story for the past few days. It's a bit of a fractured fairy tale (think of Princess Bride, but with less sophisticated humour ;P). I was hoping to finish it before November rolls around, but it's been a long while since I've written anything original (or anything really), so we'll see...

My informal NaNo project will probably be this WoW story I've referred to a few times. I've worked on it before, but it really hasn't gone anywhere since then, so I want to spend some real time on it, before I lose my nerve to write it. (I still think the concept is sound; I just need to stop overanalyzing the story and just write the damn thing... Then I can worry about the rest when it's done. ;) I doubt it will get anywhere near NaNo length, though...

(I think part of what was causing my writer's block was that I was trying to write my stories in order, rather than working on the parts I like first, like I do when I'm inspired. Working on parts of the story that I didn't feel inspired about made my writing feel laboured, and seem less fun... If I work on the parts that I like, at least I'll get some of the writing done, rather than none of it done... I'm weird that way. ;)P
