Damn brain (Apologies for the sulk-post)

I think my brain is broken. I haven't written a word of fiction since December, and my brain is literally empty of muse. I've never had it like this before, normally there's lots of stories in there but no impetus to write if I'm blocked. I've not been so without muse since I was sixteen (possibly earlier...) It's pretty annoying ( Read more... )

fail my brain, sad geek is sad

Seen this one? http://falling-voices.livejournal.com/18360.html SO MUCH META BUT SO VERY GOOD. Theron09 and I have been swapping Sherlock recs for a while, I'll dig up the emails if you'd like.

I may have stolen your muse. I do apologise. I seem to be productive at the moment (but I really hit about a month of nul output which sucked ass so to have it multiplied by four uckuckuck.)

Sam/Jack. Hm. I should have a ton of these.

SG-1 Gen ones here are spectacular: http://www.shahrazad.net/users/sgnovels/
String Theory: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3064262/1/String_Theory_An_AU_Series if you haven't read it, you'll lose loads of time.

There are theories that writer's block doesn't exist and it's a matter of forcing oneself through it but I've found my mood directly correlates with output. My self esteem has a lot to do with how much I'm writing. You are BRILLIANT, and I rate you very highly and life has to perk up soon.

I keep coming in second in interviews. It's terribly irksome to my esteem, but apparently it's awesome in this climate to even score interviews so that's good for us. My only reason for pushing through and writing my original stuff right now is that getting published is the only way out I can see for the moment.

Have you tried signing up for something that would force you to write? Sometimes a deadline is the only thing that gets my fingers going. D:

Thankies for the recs. I'm plodding through The Continuum Deception atm.

Last year I used the Leveragexchange deadline to make me write the second chapter of Taking Care, and was planning on doing the same thing this year. But so far... nada. :( I'm going to have to start pushing a bit harder, I guess. *kicks story*
