I feel like I'm failing at writing on all fronts right now. Neither energy nor inspiration nor words nor encouragement.
My profic feels flat - uninspiring and insipid. I can do better, I'm just struggling to work out how. And I hate writing 'drafts'. I'm so used to writing 'the finished thing' for fanfic that I find it a struggle to write something that I know doesn't work with the intent of making it better.
I'm still in a pairing that was more or less killed off a year ago, for a character that most people can't even remember exists, in a fandom that the people I interact with on DW have long since discarded (or else are gung-ho for pairings and dynamics and characters I don't care for).
And I've just restarted this section of Sharp Evening Stars And Bright Morning Flame, the sedoretu fic I've been working on for FOREVER. I switched from Maria's POV to Natasha's POV, but I feel like it's taking too long to get to the action, or that I've skipped over information I need to keep in there.
I'm overthinking it. This is a problem when I've had an idea for too long - it gets tangled up in the various iterations. (Also possibly why I don't like drafts.)
*grr*
