Hesitation
Oh, I'm busily hatching stories, I am, I am. It was pointed out to me last night that I have two weeks (well, less than that now) to finish two stories, so I need to get going. Truthfully, I'm a little nervous. I've never had a deadline like this before, and with moving and everything, it really set me back. I'm so glad that two of the four stories are done already! I'll need to read back over all the notes and outlines I made, and try to remember what exactly I was going for with the last two.
And then there's my Changeling game. I'm back in the saddle on that one too. We're playing this weekend, and I've got my basic story idea down. That old feeling is back, the one that made running Changeling so intoxicating to begin with. I want this story to be a good one. The fire's back, but I don't know how to direct it, exactly. My confidence got a little shaken when the beginning of my new story didn't go quite as well as I wanted it to. But now I think I'm back. The question is just finding the time and the drive to sit down and really plot this out. I've got the same skittishness on that as I do working on my book.
Which, in all honesty, is probably why I'm sitting here writing about writing rather than actually writing. Which is also, honestly, why I should get off my butt and go write something.
