Feeling less than inspired: A Shipper's Dilemma
I haven't written anything that was purely for me in months. I've written papers for school of course, this being my last couple of semester, it's a given but nothing for the pure joy of writing.
I don't know if that's because I'm too tired from work, taking care of Papi, AND school or simply the fact that I have no inspiration because I'm not currently shipping ANYONE.
Don't get me wrong. I still ship my previous ships. Those don't change of course. Once a shipper pretty much always a shipper. But none of my ships are currently around to inspire me to write more, you know? And the ones I AM reading aren't ones I write in: Sherlock/Star Trek/Merlin. (Them some intimidating fandoms to write for let me tell you...)
So what is a shipper to do?
The remedy to this is probably not what I've done which was to join one of the Big Bangs going on. Forcing my writing doesn't always help but the thing is --
I feel I WANT to write.
Maybe I'm due for a rewatch of a few shows to inspire me to finish the zillion and one stories I've left hanging. Nobody reads them anymore but I've never written them for others (though I LOVE having people enjoy them!) and I feel very incomplete right now as a writer.
Anyway, I just wanted to say it out loud so maybe my conscious mind won't block me from getting SOMETHING written. \O/
