Friday Night Musing

[thehallway]

I spent ten years writing fic. Novel length fic, shorter works, dark fic, sex in fic, even some comedy. And then I quit. I haven't written a thing non-school, non-professional related since. I still read fic, but it seems I'm unable to string words together in any meaningful way for anything other than work. I have no idea if I'll ever write again. I've been thinking a lot about it, and it bothers me. On the upside, Neil Gaiman is offering a writing master class, so there's always that.

You're writing right now, you know! The trick is to keep doing it. Then again, poems are much easier to relegate to ephemera than an entire novel.

You're right. Writing is a habit and you can and should practice. I've never written poetry, but I love Edgar Allen Poe's work. :)
