So - I've been radio silent for a while.  I'm sorry.

I've been writing and plotting like mad, though. Have all manner of awesomeness I want to bring to the fan fic world.  However...first, I promised myself I'd do National Novel Writing Month this year.

I'm working away on an original fic, then, that's summarized very briefly on my NaNoWriMo info page.  Feel free to follow along, and words of encouragement are always welcome. :)

I have two new chapters up in the fan fic world, too - I'll post on those separately here in a bit.

It's because everything I'm working on is loooooooong.

I need to figure out how to write shorter pieces.  Working on 40+k stuff takes too long.

Hiya.

Over the past two weeks, my writing has been moving slow, mainly because the creative side of my brain just shut down and refused to help me out.  I've written - but mainly it's been beta reads of other people's stuff or emails or political statements elsewhere.

But my actual creative writing - suffered.

I'm happy to say, then, that I actually finished a fun, fluffy fan fic piece today. I've got beta readers looking at it, and hope to put out in the world soon!

So yay!

So, I'm working on another long fan fic - already around 19k - and I'm stuck on a part.  I wrote it once, deleted, rewrote it again last night, and still feel...erm...about it.

So question to anyone who might see this:  when you get stuck, what do you do to get yourself out of a writing rut?
