The State of Me

[donutsweeper]

Or, more accurately, the state of my writing...

As some of you may have noticed this past year my writing output has shrunk to almost nothing. There are a number of internal and external factors for it, but I've decided I need a kick in the butt to get things started again. So, I've decided this month is "GOMBAP" month- get off my butt and post. Everyday. It might be an actual fic or a snippet of what I've written or a thinky thought post, but something, anything that involves hitting that 'post to donutsweeper' button.

Will this inspire me to actually finish my bigbang (currently languishing at 4k) or write the next installment of Widening Gyre!Tony? Who knows. But with any luck there will be writing of some sort and even baby steps in that direction would be welcome at the moment.

The two times I've done a WriSoMiFu type thing where I make myself write *something* for x minutes a day all month, and keep track of what I've done and do a weekly update, it's been really good for me. It does make me get off my butt!

You can do it!

I remember those posts of yours, hopefully I'll be similarly motivated! :)

Rock on! I'm available with whips, pom-poms and pimping as wanted or needed.

Thank you! I hope to be posting that American English vs British English thing we talked about ages ago this month

I shall attempt to jump onto that bandwagon for I need a kick up the arse as well

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I recommend against kicking *too* hard though! :)

[chatona.livejournal.com]

You are very wise!

Good luck with it!

It seems there are a few of us going through this stage this year - me for one :-(

I'll be cheering you on and hoping you do get inspiration.

YAYS!

Writing gets *hard* though. I'm mentally girding my loins for an assault on Nano this year. That'll be my biggy.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

OMG I could never do Nano the mere *thought* of 50k gives me nightmares

[karaokegal.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I'll keep my eyes open for it.
