the_rckI know, I really do, that I made the right call not to try to do Yuletide this year. I’d have ended up defaulting, just as I expected. it just makes me sad that I didn’t write something this year. I mean, I’d have loved getting a story, too, loved it quite a bit, actually since that’s a generally really great thing, but the writing is the most important thing for me. I enjoy that handful of comments that tell me that I got the voice right (assuming I did) and the characters right (again, assuming I did).
I’ve been poking at the list of prompts, sorting out the ones I maybe could write. Later, I’ll pare it down to ones I actively want to write. I’m a little afraid that that last will leave me with pretty much nothing because writing still seems daunting at the moment. Really, really daunting. I have no idea how to start writing again.
Anyone have advice for techniques for getting those first few sentences/paragraphs written after a long period of stress and ill health? I’m hopeful that, if I can get started, even if it’s not with something that’s going to go somewhere, I’ll be more able to write other things. It might not work, but it might.
