It's irritating how my mind works sometime. Back in December, I totted up how much I had written and was very proud of the two novellas and thirty-odd short stories I wrote between Nov. 2013 and Dec. 2014. Now I look at the first month-and-a-half of 2015 and I feel like such a slacker. I've posted one story in that time. I'm really disappointed in myself. Of course, though I haven't been writing as much, mostly because work has been a bear (I am not enjoying all this new responsibility) and I've been playing Guild Wars 2, the thought is just really depressing. Of course, if I was honest with myself, I'd realize that I just finished another novella - that's the personal thing I've mentioned before that I'm not posting anywhere - that's longer than Mistaken Identity, but for some reason, it doesn't count in my mind because I haven't posted it.
I'm a pretty happy person and I hate the way this feels, because this is just not me. *grump*

Right now I'm trying to come up with an idea for the minor character ficathon. It's been making me think about a lot of episodes, and that's always fun.
If you've written it, it counts. Doesn't matter if you posted it; the writing takes time and effort and you did it! So get your mind on the same page because that's awesome!

I'm slowly bringing my mind around. I'm still wrestling with the idea of showing the fic to my husband. On the one hand, he's always supportive of my writing, but on the other hand, this fic departs from canon more than I'm comfortable with and I'd be heartily embarrassed if he read it and felt it went too far astray. Another stupid thing my mind does - I feel compelled to work within the established universe and feel that the flights of fancy I indulge in in my imagination are silly.
I did go back through my list of fics and reminded myself about working on my two short story collections. I haven't thought about them in a while, but seeing them made me go, "Oh, yeah! I need to do that!"
So hopefully, the dry spell will be over soon.
Fingers crossed! ♥
