I'm getting frustrated by the Not Writing thing. I haven't written anything down since "Jacob in Reverse" (although I'm discounting notes for Spearhead), and I'm beginning to get frustrated. I suppose it could be a combination of moving and term starting so I don't have nearly as much free time, but still. A couple of characters seem to be looking like they want to talk to me, but haven't yet (although one in particular seems to be making me eat all the yakisoba evar).
I'd been doing a couple of XAOSverse character pieces just to get inside their heads. But lately, even that's seemed to dried up. I suppose there's been a few interesting directions taken, in terms of world-building (I may have figured out just what the fuck the Xaoskuim actually are, and it's only taken me, what, seven years?).
Bah. I'm just complaining. As I said a few weeks ago, I seem to be suffering from writer's block, and have just gotten smacked in the head with "Good god, man, what are you DOING? Get your ass to a pencil!" Except I've got my hands on the keyboard, and I'm still drawing a blank. I even spent an hour two days ago figuring out how to install emacs in Windows XP because staring at a blank .doc or .txt file was driving me insane (and I apparently though a blank emacs terminal was better?).
I'm half-tempted to start asking for writing prompts.
