Writing Brain Cramp
I have a confession to make: I haven't written anything in nearly 2 months.
This is quite the dry spell for me. Some of it has to do with having fan art challenge deadlines back-to-back and having to focus on that instead. Some of it is because work this summer has been extremely wonky. And some of it is just plain burnout, I'm sure. This weekend I read a half-finished thing lurking on my hard drive (I'm not sure why) and I re-wrote the middle section to take the story in a completely different direction than I originally intended. I was so happy to be writing again - and then, I read what I wrote.
*sigh*
I'm rusty, and I'm not even sure that what I've come up with is necessary or worthwhile. (Oh, and also I placed this stupid timeline for completing it because the new season of the show its based on will no doubt joss the hell out of it so I need to post it BEFORE canon closes off all sorts of avenues for me). And then I thought "I've written a lot in this fandom already. Maybe I'm just repeating myself now? When will I know it's time to stop?". And that depressed me so I sat down and watched the Olympics instead.
As a non sequiter, women's gymnastics is like watching aliens trying to figure out how a bicycle works. And I don't care what sort of justifications you come up with - it's the most strangely sexualized sport at the games.
