I INTEND TO LIVE FOREVER.

Yesterday I was reading a fic, and I kept getting the feeling that I should think it was really good, but I didn't. I mean, I noticed quite a few things that were well-done, and it certainly wasn't a sub-par fic, it just...I don't know. By the time I was done reading, I thought it was just...dull. It came across like an icon with too many effects, or something.

You know, every time I get to thinking that I might be a sort-of-good fic writer, I go out and read what the rest of the world has to offer, and realize that I'm average at best.

Especially with prose. I dunno, it just seems so...not really boring...simple, maybe? Which isn't to say that simple is a bad thing, but oftentimes I find myself blown away by someone else's prose and can't ever imagine myself writing something that beautiful.

Hn.

Maybe if I actually, y'know, edited my fics, they would be better. But I'm lazy and, more than that, I'd always rather work on new stuff. Oh wells.

Holy shit, I haven't written anything since May. I didn't realize that it had been so long. This must be rectified. I'm working on a little Ginny/Luna piece, but lately I can never bring myself to write more than a paragraph or two.

Maybe I'll spit out something soon. Maybe not. Oh wells.

I haven't written anything in what I feel like is forever. Since my computer died, I lost all of the (and believe me, there were many) partially-written fics that I had. That's okay, though, because for some reason, none of them were going anywhere. I wrote a drabble in response to an LJ friend's meme yesterday, and it felt pretty good, so hopefully I'll get back into the swing of things...sometime after finals.

You know, I like to read smut (no more or less than anything else - sometimes it depends on the pairing), but I don't think I'd be very good at writing it. Sad, I know. There are some pairings that I just can't get enough smut of. Inuyasha/Kagome is one of those. And Mugen/Fuu. Luckily, these two pairings are pretty popular in their respective fandoms (and Inuyasha is a pretty big fandom), so there's a decent amount to work with. Still, sometimes I feel like I've read every readable InuKag and Mugen/Fuu smutfic out there. Sigh. :(
