So what is everyone working on? Have you come across a great idea? Worked through a writer's block? Are you looking for a new plot point? Share all your joys and concerns here!

I'll start. For the first time in my life, I've found a story idea I can see myself sticking with! I've been keeping it all organized and everything, and I'm so proud it's coming out so well! I've already written ~17k in two months; a new record for me! :)

Currently working on some worldbuilding before NaNo. At the moment I'm mostly focusing on political relations, both nationally and internationally, but I'm also slowing working out a religion. I'll also need to focus on some cultural things, like fashion, before November. I'm really having a lot of fun with it!

I have an idea for an SU fic, but it's so rough I don't even have the genre down yet. I got zero responses on Beach City Bugle, so I might as well ask for ideas here. At the very least, I need to determine which paths NOT to take the story down, figuring out a structure by process of elimination.

This will be long, so I'll put it in a reply.

Congrats on your new writing. I'm glad it's working out for you.

As for me, I'm trying to get through writing block right now. I know where I want to be. I mostly know where I'm going. I just have such a hard time sitting down and doing it.

I'm working on my plans for NaNo and having a lot of fun with the worldbuilding. I'm having fun thinking like the villain and figuring out how to do creative things within the rules of the magic system too.

I've also recently had a sudden desire to try making a comic so I've started working on character designs and stuff. I keep meaning to learn to draw better so now I'm just going to dive right in and get the practice I need while having fun with a story I like. And no one ever needs to see how crappy most of it will be. :D

If anyone has some good resources for anatomy and stuff, that would be helpful.

I'm working on planning for original things during November, but also probably writing a fic I'll just post on my DW. Low stakes and all.

Also after getting ideas at work I've been thinking about worldfusion crossovers. Sort of AU-y fics that combine aspects from both worlds and fuse them together. It's cool because it still includes some worldbuilding and room for inventing stuff but is also sorta fic.

Looking into fandoms like Pokemon and Sims lately where the kind of stuff I like writing is probably more accepted and common.

Also I need to get back to my MLP fics. I have no ideas for those.
