I haven't written anything decent in *months*. Everything I have written has been 'he said, she said' crap.

Welcome to the club, nonny. That's been me since last year and it suuuuuuuucks.

AYRT Sorry to hear you're in the same boat. It blows. I can't seem to find my way out either

I haven't written anything at all. I've had several plot bunnies that I've started, but I just haven't had it in me to write more than a few sentences.

Been there, done that. Sometimes with barely any detail in between, sometimes with details that seemed forced and unnatural. Not sure which is worse.

As for me, I keep taking frequent and longer breaks from my writing and it concerns me. Distracted by current events and playing new games, but not being inspired to "escape" into writing or even inspired to write about new worlds. I hate getting 20,000 words into fics and then getting stuck for stupid reasons.

I got some feedback on a big writing assignment I’m stressed about - it’s been a while since I’ve had to write anything much beyond an email. I’m grateful, it’s a busy time of year and hard to get anyone interested… but I realized I’ve been and still am overly touchy if there’s a general issue I have in my writing (for example, lapsing into passive voice), and the person going through it rewrites every instance without explaining why. I wish they’d just flagged a few and simply let me know “watch your passive voice/use active voice” or whatever it is I’m doing. Then it feels like it’s been less of a time sink for them and it leaves me feeling like they trust me to correct myself once it’s been flagged and explained. (Also, I can’t deny that the sea of red still hurts after all these years.)

Coming out of retirement

I didn’t write any fic for about a decade and then last month wrote two. One is short and sweet for ship A, the other is like three chapters that could have been lifted straight out of the canon (except they’re smutty).
I have so many ideas now! And I didn’t have time to write more last month but now I do and it’s tough getting all the stories in my head untangled and onto the page.
But I also had two comments asking for a sequel to the short and sweet fic and I’m mulling that over. I won’t do a sequel just because it was requested but I would love if I could dream up a sequel to fulfil the requests.

I have lost all creative inspiration too. I want to write, but I don't even know where to start or how to even conjure the threads of a plot. I even pulled out my practice book from twenty years ago for inspiration, and still nada. The stuff I wrote twenty years ago flows better than my attempts today. I swear this world has just beaten me down and stomped all the joy out of everything.

I've written a lot of one to four starter paragraphs for a bunch of WIPs. I've written a few one hits ranging at my usual ballpark writing of about 5k words, they're only first drafts though. I haven't posted anything since the end of April. I really don't know what I'm doing. What I do know is that I hate a lot of the shit I've written, but I think a lot of it is brilliant too. I just....know it'll be a lot of work to edit my finished fics and it's even more work to write down the first drafts of my other other 15 or whatever the number is now WIPs. T_T

And then there's my...~special~ fic. I'll write you day, beautiful multi-layered fic no one in the fandom will even be able to guess that this is actually an update on a fic from a completely unrelated fic where I created an OC I thought up of over a decade ago. One day, special fic, one day.
