Writing woes
I finally did it. I dredged 500 words of utter crap out of my head and got it onto the page. It was like pulling teeth. None of it is worth it's weight in computer bytes but at least it's a start--my writing has been stagnating since, oh...January. I keep setting myself a goal: 500 words a day. Just 500 words. This is the first time I think I've actually met it. Hopefully if I can keep the words flowing they'll start being good again!
Being so stuck makes me wonder if I'm really cut out to write. I can barely do fanfiction these days. My original stories have lain untouched for...well, let's just say they're starting to fossilize. But I feel a certain loyalty to my stories; the thought of leaving them abandoned makes me feel incomplete. And I like writing. I'm just...blocked, on every story I have.* I feel distant from them. I don't like it.
*(Yes, I know I just updated a story. That was a buffer chapter...it was already written. Don't hurt me.).
