On a Roll!

[amberfocus]

I'm still on my roll. My goodness, I wrote most of the rough draft of the birthday smut fic last night and finished it up this morning. It's 3337 words long and I'm using a very intense writing style for it. I like it quite a bit. I have until the nineteenth to polish it up and love it. *grins* I shipped it off to Amy for opinions and whatnot.

I also wrote more on Hunger Moon, the next chapter is at 1618 words. I'm getting a bit more heavily into the plot and there likely won't be smut in this chapter unless alt!Nine and Rose just decide they can't keep their hands off each other, which of course they may just get it into their heads to do. They do that. A lot.

And I added 309 words to Innocent as Sin. I'm really not quite sure where that fic is going at the moment. It's another experimental writing style piece switching back and forth in perspective in little vignettes. If I decide I don't like it I can always rework it into something more like my normal style. That's easy enough to do.

The kids have their dance classes today, so hopefully that means I can finish up Hunger Moon tonight. I'd like to add anywhere from 1000 to 1500 words or so, make the chapter a bit longer so the next one can be a full smut chapter. No promises of course, but it's coming along.

It's nice to see people on my f-list writing. Personally, I'm beginning to wonder if I ever will again (okay, perhaps overly dramatic...). Ideas are there, but I open Word and nothing happens. I've even tried handwriting to see if that would shift something into gear. 2 months I've written nothing. Very frustrating.

i know what you mean hun. i've been having a terrible job writing anything, i just always seem to have a blank page in front of me

i hope that goes away for you soon, it's no fun at all

Perhaps you shouldn't try to write anything in particular, just type some stream of consciousness, gobble-dee-gook, anything just to stop the page being so goldarn white! And then see if any of it makes sense. :)

You know, I had a horrible dry spell when my kids were very small. I barely wrote a thing, couldn't finish what I started and gave up all together for close to five years. Though I picked it up again about three and a half years ago, it wasn't until I started writing DW fanfic in Sept. of '07 that I became as passionate about it again as I used to be. Actually more so. I have never been so prolific in my life as I have been in the last almost year and a half. I really do think inspiration comes and goes in cycles. Sometimes the dry cycles are just really long.

Have you considered drabble writing? Just 100 words, the best 100 words, a single, simple paragraph have been enough to fire my muse when I've been staring at an utterly blank screen.
