I mean, aside from that bit of fluff I did for the Fluff, I haven't actually sat down and done any writing at all since ... well, November's the last instance I can remember offhand. Which, for someone who likes to call herself a writer, really kind of sucks.
I know I've been busy lately, and it's been all about commute, work, commute, cook, shower, fall into bed exhausted... But come on. It can't be like this. It just can't be. It didn't take long to forget what it feels like to just sit down and write it, to get so caught up in the story and the words and the characters that you're hungry and tired and nicotine-deprived and you just don't notice. When the story flows and the power's just there. I only got a taste of it just now (I mean, it's TLAS, not Shakespeare), but I hadn't realised how much I missed it.
I know it's late to be making New Year's resolutions, but I never trust those anyway. I resolve to spend at least an hour a day in front of this keyboard with WordPad open. If I'm not inspired, I'll do read-throughs. If I'm tired, well, tough. I'm never going to get anywhere if I don't at least try.
