Getting things turned around
15 years ago
Ever since Thanksgiving of last year, I've been in some sort of creative funk. Not only have I not been writing, I've been basically avoiding FA. Oh, I would browse the submissions every night, but I wouldn't read anything or comment on what I saw. It was as if I was being overwhelmed by other people's creativity when mine had essentially vanished.
Well, at least part of that is going to change. Slowly.
I just spend two days downloading every story since Nov of 2009 and putting them in a single place. Next, I need to convert them all into a format I can put on my PDA so I can read them at work. The hard part will be attaching responses.... but that's all technical fluff. The important thing is that I'm walking back in the door. And over the next few weeks (or months) the people whose work I enjoy so much will be hearing from me again. Folks like
vixyyfox, 
Metassus, 
poetigress, 
duroc, 
SlushPuppy, 
pyrostinger, 
TakeWalker and 
TippyDeVil.
What's more, I've noticed a trend in my thinking lately. Instead of merely putting my head down and slogging through the days, my mind has been wandering over old, unfinished stories of mine. And not just remembering them, but turning them over in my head with an idea or two towards completing them. That hasn't happened in a long time. I may actually start back to writing before long.
Just thought I'd let you know. :)

I have some of your works on my site and am happy to see you will be writing more.
So what do you think of that? Eh, this. Uhh, that. Or this. Then. Huh?
How, exactly, did the druids celebrate their special events? Massive construction projects or some such?
We're having a session tonight on the top of that hill over there. Bring a bottle. (hic)
I AM SO HAPPY YOU'RE BACK!!!!!!!!!
I was actually daydreaming about revisiting the Whackadoodle years and years later and as I was wandering around I saw where your garden was...

But that's done and gone now. I have so many of your wondrous stories awaiting me that those months of self imposed denial will melt away to nothing. And I shall be heaping up mounds of loving praise for your delightful tales, I have no doubt.
It feels so good to be back.
*nuzzles his favorite mommafox*
Now, what should I plant this spring? Flowers, veggies, or both?
and... I fully understand as I am guilty of exactly the same thing. We are very much alike in that respect.
*nuzzles him right back...

Coincidentally, Imma be getting back on this train soonish as well. I'm most of the way through a huge project, and when I'm done? Back to reading stories. I'm probably 6 months behind now, but thanks to at least one person blanking their account, I have half the stories to read that I used to. :D
But yeah, I wanna catch up on all the awesome stuff that I've let go for so long. Including yours.
