this post should be read in the whiniest tone imaginable

what am i going to write for seasonal_spuffy? am i even going to be able to write anything? i haven't written anything longer than, like, 500 words in forever, and i feel like i have completely lost all of my writing abilities. uuuuugh.

if i didn't have to be at work i would spend this day lay face-down on my bed moaning about how i never accomplish anything. which isn't even true, it's just what i feel like today. uuuuuugh.



i promise I'll be back to my regular chipper self soon--if all else fails i'll go home and watch clips of david mitchell ranting on youtube. this has been a whiny post. because what is lj but a place to be ludicrously self-indulgant, right?

I have the same problem routinely - where it seems like the muse ditched you to go on vacation? Usually, I try and lure her back with just a few sentences - nothing big, just playing around with a word or a mood. Then I try fleshing it out, and see if there's anything bigger there. Actually, I just posted the first chapters of one fic that started out that way - winter has the effect of draining much of my creative energy, and I wanted to get it back.

I think winter does have a lot to do with it--it just makes me feel tired all the time and wish we hibernated like the much smarter animals. Hopefully once spring returns (and looks like your icon!), we'll both pep up a bit.
