writing is hard

[mhalachai]

over the long weekend, I had a brief spurt of inspiration to maybe write a Valentine's Day outtake for Hands of Clay, and got 900 words in before i wrote myself into a corner that made me lose the buzz. Work today was a creative energy suck so I had nothing left to give once I got  home, but maybe I'll try tomorrow.

One of the things that I'm finding slightly... worrisome? bothersome? is that I don't have more stories in my head at this moment. I'm focusing on Hands of Clay and there are percolations in the background for my other MCU stories (er, none of which I've updated recently), but nothing new is really sparking any inspiration. None of the new TV shows are catching my attention, and I haven't been to any movies recently (yes, I know, I need to see Star Wars). I'm also slightly worried that Captain America: Civil War will actually kill me. Or maybe break my heart. Only a few months left before we know for sure.

Anyway, coming back from my creative hiatus this weekend and see how things go from there.

Good self-care! And I totally get worrying about your creativity coming back. Wishing all good things for you!

One of my writer friends sometimes has patches when she feels less inspiration to write. She takes it as her signal to read a lot for a while, to "fill the input buffers" or something like that. Whatever you need to do to get where you want to be, good luck!

TV notions:_The 100_ has turned out quite fun. If you want to be particularly Canadian (not that you have much choice, eh?), _Lost Girl_ got good (...ish) by episode 8 and _Orphan Black_ gripped me from the first act of the first episode. I think you might enjoy the Siobhan and Delphine characters in Orphan Black. Do let me know if any of those catches your interest.
