I probably needed to add things to that list like: eat real meals, but also chocolate; take naps; take a walk now & then; try to stay off the internet every now & then (?!). We'll see how I do!
When I write fic as part of my daily 750 Words, sometimes when I download my stuff off the site (which I do at the close of every month) I go back & look & some of the snippets have potential. They're not always as bad as I remember them being (sometimes they are though!), & it kind of encourages me to feel like I have lots of bits of stories that I might be able to do something with.
Maybe you're just letting the newest pieces of your writing sit for a bit before you go back to them at some point to see if there's anything there you want to post or get betaed? It's brilliant that you're able to keep writing & moving forward regardless of whether you're technically finishing things or posting them, though. Words on page=awesome.
