creativity seems to have abandoned me
2 years ago
I got my own apartment at last, and I'm thrilled to have a place of my own, without roommates. Don't think I'll make it to Anthrocon this year. Can't justify the expense.
I have several projects I'd like to resume, but nothing is happening. Creativity seems to have abandoned me.
The novel expansion of Biggest Fan has stalled, though the story is twice as long as the original so far.
I have a beginning point for Arc 2 of No CGI, and I have started writing it, but... it, too has stalled.
I miss the focus I once had. Unsure what happened to it. It will return again, but until then, I don't know what to do.

Myself, I rarely write anything useful or finish what I start, but occasionally I am given to sudden bouts of written ridiculousness that lead nowhere but yield interesting tidbits that, were I more motivated and talented, might even yield something entertaining.
In once recent instance, I wrote a few paragraphs of absolute absurdity that ended with the line: "I wish to commission a blow-job."
Though I set it aside, there was some potential in the odd scenario I crafted that led up to that utterance. Perhaps there is something there? Likely it will never go anywhere but it was fun.
Another tack might be to quickly put together some elements uncharacteristic of your usual (if it can be so described) themes and types. Perhaps an all-Capybara cast portraying a daytime drama spoof of General Hospital entitled "Non-specific Hospital" could awaken the silliness within and breed inspiration?
Pick a species you rarely write about and run with it, filling in the blanks with whatever comes readily to mind. Perhaps writing a 2-3 page story involving the sexy adventures of group of easy-going blue-footed fruit bats, or maybe a roving gang of Harley riding Marmots and their naughty rest area antics along I-90?
In any case, I hope your muse will soon return, and congratulations on getting your own place!
For now, I really have been enjoying having my own apartment.
