I did get some writing done this past week, but not yesterday. Today looks to be a bit busy, but maybe I'll get some writing time in!

I dabbled in writing from a young age, but didn't get going with it consistently until about 14 years ago. My interest in my main fandom was renewed to a fever pitch when the story I had been reading since I was 12 was put to film, and so many ideas came with it, that I had to start writing. I'm still at it, pretty much in the same fandom (though I have branched out a wee bit from time to time). My opportunity to write as consistently as I did at the beginning is much less, but the desire to create is still with me!

Opened my fic, stared at the document, changed a sentence, stared some more. Then I procrastinated by drawing. In other words, still not making any progress on getting this chapter started. I need to take a walk. Maybe talk with my friend.

I started writing a fic for a tiny fandom since there was almost no fic for it. That was 15 years ago now. I still write mainly for tiny fandoms because I'm lazy and will just keep to reading if there is enough fic.

Little to no writing over the weekend. I had a migraine, which didn't help. But also, the story got stuck and I realised I needed to re-read key passages from canon to do the planning I'd been putting off. It's underway and going well; the canon was much needed fodder for inspiration.

I posted fic! Something completely different to what I've been working on, because I was getting stuck on the big project.
