Dude, where's my spark?

[vulgarweed]

The wintry Wisconsin weekend taught me how to breathe slowly and deeply again (the things you forget!). Lately my jobs have been reminding me that work actually goes better when you're not so tense you can barely move. Just show up. (physically or mentally). That's more than half the battle. You don't have to be justifying your existence every moment.

So where's the writing, though?

I have two GO WsIP that I'm very fond of, conceptually, and they're not abandoned by any stretch, and yet they're in a frustrating place. I add a few hundred words here and there. Been a while since I had the energy to sit down and really fly, which is when the good stuff happens. Been feeling a little fandom-isolated, and I'm sure that's a factor, but I've also been in grim hunker-down-and-work-on-real-world-stuff mode too, and that doesn't help either.

Suggestions? I need to get that lightness of being back, somehow.

Late to every party, I am, and only thirding what others have said, but lately just writing silly, pointless little cookies and flashporn have reenergized me and reminded me what's fun about writing. If you want/need extra prompts, I'd be more than happy to supply (and, by that turn, am currently in the market for any and all fic prompts you'd be interested in reading ^_^).

I have to run off to work now, but I'd love a prompt from you for tonight.

I have one for you: nowadays all the music in Crowley's Bentley turns into Dethklok, not Queen. What's going on? :D

Oh GAWD. <--*direct quote*

Mother Mary, you certainly know how to pick 'em...I'll be back later with something that I HOPE fits, and also a prompt for you. Have a good shift at work, dear!!
