So far the new year has brought in some good (work and the ability to keep myself in the life I am accustomed to even though it means selling my soul) and some bad (the damned snowpocalypse). So far though, the most annoying thing would have to be the utter demise of my writing muse. My writing's always been rather shoddy, but lately its really turned to shite. I remember signing the contract to sell over my soul, but not my muse, and I am tempted to call a redo.

I haven't written much and I haven't even read much of anything lately to be honest. Whenever I try to write something, it sort of fizzles in a spectacularly pathetic way. I just can't start a fic at the beginning. Usually, what happens is I have one single line of dialog that just encompasses the mood of the entire fic, and then I write the story around that. Last night on dramionedrabble@LJ for the anti-Valentine's Day-A-Thon there was a comment that managed to spurred around 600 words of fanfiction from me. Short, yes, but it's a start!
