writing update

So um, yeah, remember that whole plan to go into fic_rush with 10 prompts, and come out of it with somewhere around 10 short fics?

Ha ha ha ha ha, I am so funny.

Okay, I did manage one short fic. And it's a complete fic -- yay!-- although short, but it's one of those short fics that needs to be short, at least in my opinion.

But as for writing to the other 9 prompts, not so much. The prompts you guys gave me looked interesting, and then there were the ones I chose myself from the random pairings generator, but when it came to trying to imagine writing anything to them, it was a big fat blank.

However, as I said, I did write one story to one prompt, and I did write a drabble recently to another prompt, so at least the muse is waking up a little bit, although obviously she's still a little sleepy. Thank you to those of you who gave me prompts, and I'll keep them around, and if they do inspire me later, I will do something on them if I can.

On the bright side of fic_rush, primsong came and joined us and seemed to actually like it! I still encourage everyone to come try it out next round, even if it's just for an hour or two. It's a great feeling to get writing encouragement -- not to mention useful tips -- from others, it's nice to pass encouragement along to others, and if nothing else, it really teaches you the value of an hour.

Look on the bright side! One short fic + a drabble > one short fic.

Also, on short fic> no short fic.

So, you actually did good! :)

It really was fun, even if I spent the majority of the time wishing the world would stop so I could just write like I theoretically was supposed to be doing. I recommend it! It was a great kick-starter and I made significant progress on the chapter that had been staring back at me blankly for a good three weeks. :-)
