I've been rather productive over the past few weeks. For some reason, I now have more creative energy than in...well...a very long time. I've been writing quite a bit, though nothing detailed. Mostly snippets, such as conversations that crop up in my head, situation sketches and broad story arcs.
Only one or two ideas will actually work right away, about a quarter will only work with lots of rewriting, and most importantly, suspension of disbelief. And three-quarters is impossible even with huge amounts of tweaking and disbelief suspended by the neck until deaddeaddead.
Perhaps I should start writing fanfiction. I think it might be easier in some ways, since canon is already established and I don't have to think up a logical and functioning world all on my own. Because that's actually the part that causes me the most problems.
To be honest, I'm not one for the fiddly detail when it comes to writing. Sketching, knitting, needle-point, cross-stitch, you name it and I can do fiddly detail. It's just when it comes to writing that my attention wanders. Seriously, I'll sit down fully intending to fill in the detail, and 5 minutes later my brain will be going 'Wheeeeeee! Let's write smut!' , which is highly annoying, because I suck at writing it. And yet my brain insists on trying. I think it's broken, or at least seriously defective.
