This whole writing thing...

tamchroninI poked at Elemental (third person POV) a little last night, but I still haven't been able to write past toddler Agrad screaming suddenly and interrupting his parents. It might be time to open something else, because I remember I was always the most prolific when I had several writing projects going on at once, instead of trying to concentrate on just one at a time.
I think it's time to start writing short stories more frequently, and give in to the occasional urge to do fanfic. I don't know why I gave up on a technique that obviously worked for me for so long. I suppose I thought that if I wanted to write "for real" instead of "just" fanfic I had to set aside a lot of what made writing fun. And if I sucked all the fun out of writing, it's no wonder I've had a block for so many years.
Any writing prompts or exercises are welcome. I might not use them, but I might. I'm going to try to make this fun again.
