SOMETHING NEW-ISH.
I've been miserable for a couple of years, now, because I feel like I've completely lost my mojo when it comes to writing. I'll have great ideas, and maybe even get a sentence out, but then everything just comes to a sputtering halt. If I try to force it, it becomes such dreck that I have, occasionally, actually gagged.
So I had this thought . . . perhaps, part of the problem is that I'm not doing any real writing of any kind any more. And by that, I mean, I'm not posting regularly in LJ -- I'm certainly not talking about anything useful on Facebook. I've given myself no chance to put together any cohesive thoughts about any of the myriad topics that usually strike my fancy.
Okay, and yes, I'm bored senseless, true.
Still, I think this is worth a try. I'm not going to set some sort of crazily high standard for myself like daily posts . . . that takes a sort of discipline I just don't possess! My goal right now is just once a week.
Once a week, I want to put together a post about something, fannish or not, fic-related or otherwise. Hell, I might really go out on a limb and talk about politics.
It sounds like a simple enough idea, but I've been horribly lax about posting in the last ( LET'S ADMIT IT ) few years, so I'm hoping I can make myself stick to the plan. I'm not usually very good at that sort of thing, but I do want to try.
We shall see.
