ANNOUNCEMENT

LJ, LJ, I CAN WRITE AGAIN.

Oh, it's wonderful, it's like letting out a long stale breath and suddenly realising that your chest had been tight all that time.

Turns out all I needed was to make a joke about sinister nailpolish and BAM, original short story! What's nice is it feels like a warmup for one of the novels I want to write, because it has similar central themes: teenage girl friendship groups, and insecure baby lesbians, and getting caught up in magic because of a desire to be special.

And nailpolish.

Lots of that.

(I finally got sick of 3/6 of my visible icons being Inception-related, so I deleted Arthur and LJ decided to let me have...Nicole Kidman and bondage! Excellent.)

If only that would work for me too!

The weirdest things can be inspiring, I must say.

:D :D! I finally got my writing back as well, by, uh, thinking about Gatorade. *high five*

Woo! Clearly next time I am stuck I should just start making lists of household objects and then pull one out of a hat.

Ooh, this is exciting! Are you going to post the story here, or do you have offline plans for it?

[fahye.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure yet, actually. We'll see how much I like it when it's finished!

[sour-idealist.livejournal.com]

Well, good luck! I certainly hope to see it.

fuck yes writing again! (also omg the themes in that short story sound DELIGHTFUL and dear to my heart.)

Nearly 3000 words in one day is some kind of record for me! Sadly I have to spend this morning writing a report for med school, but this afternoon I plan to attack the story again.
