monkey pause

[hysteresismonky]

I haven't written anything new since Flutter By.  I can't remember how many months ago that was.

My slush count is currently zero.

If this turns out to have been a momentary pause, while I took stock and found my voice, then no worries.

But if it lasts, it is very very bad.

Mr Prescott-Roy,

A representative of your VP buds here, with a commandment:

Put butt in chair, and fingers on keyboard, and start writing! A page a day (250 words).

You don't seem like the kind of person who hurts for ideas but if you are, check our Mur Lafferty's "News from Poughkeepsie" idea blog (at sailormur), or read a random magazine like Fortean Times or Popular Science or (given your academic interests) Psychology Today or Science News.

Back to it, sir! It's been too long already. Your VP buds command you.

- yeff (speaking for VP)

I thought it was kind of a funny coincidence that right above your entry in my friends feed was Jeff's about his story at Critters this week. You two apparently posted approximately a minute apart

Getting out of the habit is the biggest obstacle to writing, I think. If it's not imperative that you extend your sabbatical, might as well start the uphill slog to getting back in the habit!

Just so you know, you all rock. Thank you.
