How'd the challenge go for you this month? Did you make a lot of progress? A little? Do you feel any closer to meeting your goals? Did you learn anything about the way you work or your characters?

RL has sucked, my work has sucked, but fanfic has been lovely for the last few days.

I am, however, having a bit of "I'm shite, my work is shite, I can't write, everything I do is terrible, I'm deluding myself, this is awful"... well, always, but particularly now. I haven't written anything solo in so long (up until this year) and I'm just fighting that "this is a terrible waste of my time and I'm a terrible person for doing it and I'm getting it all wrong" thing, you know?

Once I'm in the groove of writing, I can say "yes, this is writing the way I write, and that is good, carry on". It's picking up writing at all after this huge absence that leaves me cold.

Responding in response to a comment made a couple of days after this post, actually... :)

*ahem*

Getting past the doubt is sometimes the hardest part. Do you have a link to anything you've written? I'll be happy to look over it and offer some feedback/encouragement, because I know how hard it is to be running on fumes. :)

Most of my stuff is posted here (some is on AO3 under wintergrey if you have an account there) so I'll just add you to this journal and you can poke at whatever you like. Pretty much everything in this journal so far is fic. *g*
