I just don't know.
I came to the realization that I just haven't cared about any characters enough lately to write about them. I was a bit worried about the NCIS finale this past season but I suppose I am content to fall back on 'oh, they won't get rid of /insert character name/.
Maybe this is partly because I'm always behind on shows so I lose momentum, but I also seem to have created a disconnect between watching and writing. I really haven't written anything in a year, though I'm not sure last year's Nano counts, it died in flames so horribly - but there were words and I did write them. I wrote a little something for work the other day and it felt good but it was definitely harder than it used to be.
I suppose I'm wondering if I'll even try to do Nano this year. Am I uninspired? Do I not like writing anymore? I wonder if I have 'stories' to tell. All my fanfic was normally about the characters thoughts and feels... That doesn't really turn into much of a story though. Just got to keep at it, I guess.
It only goes to show that some of my favorite books aren't very novel-y. Will have to think about a Nano plot some more. Or some characters. I think that might be where I lose my thread most; I end up with flat characters and then have nowhere to take them because they don't have complex motivations, etc.
Okay, okay /rambly writing navel gazing.
