Progress!
I started a new story today. Hallelujah! This morning, hyped on caffeine and sleep deprivation, I was listening to "Killing in the Name Of", by Rage Against the Machine and just got in a sudden, violent, angry mindset--not that I was angry or violent, but that there was this force inside my head that was--so I started writing, and out popped Max. Reconsidering her name because of the whole Dark Angel thing, but for now, she's Max. In two and a half pages, I finished the opening scene and learned that whoever Max is, she's got a pretty powerful enemy--and that she can kick goblin ass. I've never written combat before. I think it worked pretty well. And besides, it's a great way to start a story!
So very very glad to be writing again. I don't have the words.
