Actually, it's not even that I lack story ideas. It's that what ideas I have, they aren't properly _story_ ideas. They're fantasies, the kind of stories you tell yourself before going to sleep, or staring into the window during a bus ride. I'm not sure these are transferable into proper story: they are usually a collection of emotionally pleasing static scenes without any particular plot (and also, since they're fantasies, often lacking background, explanations, and being Mary-Sueish and all that). But they are all I have right now... And I still do want to write.
Also, I lost the knack of writing Yuletide Santa letters, if I ever had it. I mean, I said all I could think of in the notes for my requests... Oh well, either I'll have ideas, or my Yuletide Santa will ask through third parties if s/he needs to know anything. I know I did this once or twice.
