Ahhh, exactly! To everything you've said. I want that excited frenzy back.
We as in you and I? I'd be up for it, anyway. My main aim right now is to un-serious the whole process so I'd want to spend some time thinking about what used to make it fun and low-key because I think that's what helped make it exciting. It's not like there aren't already prompt or writing communities out there, it's just that they feel a little cardboard to me and not very engaging; so I'd want to think about what's missing in order not to create more virtual cardboard. :\
Now that I've sat here pondering it for a while, I think having readers and writers to talk to is important. I'm actually really passionate about writing but I think I need that connection to other like-minded individuals or I kind of dry up some creatively. One of my friends is an avid reader and I tend to feel more alive about writing after talking to her. Another friend's writing an autobiography and just chatting about the different ideas we had got me going for a bit (before she moved). Maybe you and I aren't the types who can write in complete seclusion? I know fandom used to be such an ongoing conversation and provided a community feeling for me of both readers and writers and I think I probably subconsciously took that for granted. I can't relate that much to professional bloggers and whatever-the-hell, I just want a fun writing community where I can be vulgar sometimes.
Apologies if any of the sentences above don't make sense, I am falling asleep on a little. Also, LJ isn't letting me pick icons what the fuck is this shit.
