Eh, not a great week. Anxiety ambushed me on Saturday. It's gradually receding (yay!), but it really put a dent in my creativity. I only managed four of the 7 Days, 7 Stories challenges, and three of them are basically synopses with a few detailed scenes sprinkled in. (I really didn't expect to get all 7, and what I have gives me something to work on later.) A fic prompt meme on Tumblr resulted in a few fun-sounding requests, so I'm looking forward to tackling those. I'm less than 3k words away from my Camp NaNo goal, but the words are sluggish. Yahtzee fills are stagnating (more a confidence issue than a creativity one, since I have my outlines and such).

Hopefully, my brain-fog will clear soon, and I can be productive again.

I got some words written since last Wednesday, but not very many. :( I'm really struggling, creatively, and I have been since the beginning of the year. I can find inspiration, and I have plenty of ideas, it's just that when I get to the actual writing part, my brain just slams on the brakes, like a dog outside the vet's office. I'm not sure if it's a issue of focus, but I do know confidence plays a huge role in this, as well, and, for some reason, my confidence in my ability to string together words in a coherent manner has taken a nosedive since New Year's.

Obligatory pandemic-related gripe )

Okay, enough of that; back to writing talk! Camp NaNo starts today, and I am feeling far less confident about it than I did when I signed up. I set a relatively modest goal, but it's going to take some work to reach it at the pace I'm moving right now. I'm also working on two fic requests from Tumblr; I was hoping they'd shake me out of this slump, like they usually do, but I'm struggling with them, too, even though they're supposed to be my "fun" projects. I'm just hung up on the logistics of fictional worlds again (and of boxing; my recent search history is quite colorful ;)), and the more time that goes by since the requests, the guiltier I feel for not completing them.

I think I'd just like to hibernate until fall. My YTD word count wouldn't show any difference. XD
