I am always, always here for more cowriting if you want it! And even if it's just for us to get you to try and stretch your wings, I'm happy to do that, too!

I feel so bad that I flaked on our last co-write. I loved the premise and your Bones so much. I just kept feeling like Jim wasn't as good as he should be. Like, he wasn't Jim enough or felt more OC with Jim's name, which I didn't want at all unless we'd been writing original fic. It felt like I was letting the story down, I guess, and that was letting you down!

[andrealyn]

You totally didn't flake! I understand, trust me! I only just lately pushed myself to finish a bunch of Star Trek because I was feeling weird about it and OOC.

I misssss you. What's your schedule like, lady?

Also *hugs*

[inell]

I miss you, too! I tried leaving you a voicemail while I was driving on my field trip but your voicemail was full. My schedule is the same. Work/School Tues-Sat, off Sun-Mon and I'm around Fri and Sat nights. I just don't sign onto YIM unless someone pokes me to. LOL

LMAO I will clean out my phone posthaste. I was online last night! iiiii will attempt to poke you next time i am.

I've written something. I've accepted it was going to be bad, but just covered a page with something because the only way to break writer's block is to write. And eventually something turns up.

Maybe I should try that. I keep trying then deleting because what I write isn't working for me. I'm also digging through my unfinished fic list, which is small but has a few random things started, to see if I can at least try to tidy something up there for inspiration. ♥

Ah, the one practical thing you can try is writing on paper. It feels different, and you can't delete it, though you can cross it out, so you keep going... if you see what I mean.

Seconded. I find it works particularly well with a nice vintage fountain pen, because then laying down ink feels good, physically. But I imagine other people enjoy other types of writing implement just as much. :-)

Aww, I know how hard not being able to use one of your creative outlets is.

::HUGS!!!::

Have you tried maybe using some of the prompts to do something else in the creative realm? I don't know if you draw or paint or anything, but just an idea - oh, or compiling fanmixes? I know from experience that if one medium doesn't work, sometimes you have to try something else. I hope you feel better about stuff soon! <3

*hugs* Thanks for the suggestion! I hadn't tried that, but I might have to.
