My inspiration is almost completely dried up. I try to write more Temeraire sequel and give up. I try to write a little PBell and hate it. Then I end up writing Leverage, of all things! You know, that story I utterly hated up until I finished it, and then my brain was like, you know what would be fun? MORE LEVERAGE. 7000 words of this nonsense and

How are you doing? Maybe your creative bug is a bust right now, but how's your life going?

Also, have you ever thought about changing some names and publishing some of your stories? Because you totally should.

Life is good, thank you for asking. :D I just finished full-time school and am looking at about a year off before going back. I have two jobs that I love and I'm keeping busy. How are you?

I haven't entertained the idea much, because obviously this sort of fiction only appeals to a very select audience. And I have a couple original novel-length stories that are HUGELY different from this stuff (my pet project is about shapeshifters and Norse gods and there is no sex at all, haha). I would love to do something more with Rough Trade, though. When I'm especially frustrated with school I often tell my bff that I'm going to move to Vermont and sever all contact with humans and become an erotic furry lit writer and my first story will be about a gay emu because I feel emus are underrepresented in furry art, and therefore probably in gay furry lit too. So maybe I will superimpose the plot of Rough Trade onto that, when I move to Vermont, and the emu will be Arthur. I like that idea.

Lol, honestly though I think you could publish Rough Trade. I also think you could definitely publish The Running Play 'verse. Hell, if fucking 50 Shades can become a best seller and it's terrible, your amazing writing would be an awesome seller.

As for me, I also just finished school, getting my bachelor's in fine arts and quickly discovering that my degree is useless hooray. I've got a job as a secretary at a law office right now though so I'm not destitute (yet), but I'm still hoping that someone will buy my art at some point. My birthday is tomorrow too, so that's cool, though I don't really have anything planned.

Happy birthday! Yours is exactly one month before mine. :)

[osaki_nana_707]

lol well happy early birthday to you. It sucks that there's not much to do around here that doesn't cost money because I don't exactly have a lot of cash to have a party. I've never been thrown a party. I always have to throw my own. D:

enough self-pity for me now

Anyway, take your time with your fic. I think all our creativity is kind of stifled right now because of the heat. I haven't written anything in a long time. I have an idea, but I haven't quite been able to pull it off just yet.
