Other things: I put up some of my older fic at halfamoon  and found, to my dismay, that I have written only four fics that are really about female characters. Given how depressingly little fic I've written at all that's not as grim a statistic as it sounds, but still, it's not a lot. Even my het and gen fics are usually about the men or told from a man's POV, and those that aren't are generally stalled WIPs so I can't post those in good conscience.

Regardless of category I just really need to write more. I have all these ideas all the time, but for some reason they just won't form whole, coherent stories, or even anything beyond the equivalent of a publicity blurb. I could write down those premises all day - this happens, then this happens, then Character A does this, but in the meanwhile Character B is secretly meeting with Character C while Character D is offering advice from outside time - but I have enormous difficulty translating that into prose, into a story rather than a description of a sequence of events. Deep down I wish that all I had to do was write down those story blurbs, and then someone else, someone who's better at it than I am or at least for whom it comes easier than it does for me, would write them for me.

Sometimes I think I don't really like writing, but it's the only way to tell all these stories I've got because loud, excitable recaps don't go over very well. And then some days I do like it, so what do I know.



Ahem. Sorry. Needed to vent a little bit there. And now I should go back to reading and figuring out what I'm going to write two essays about.
