Writing

I have a couple of days off, so I've been trying to do some writing. Not much luck so far, I'm afraid. First, I spent five minutes staring at a blank document, but inspiration failed to strike so I had a look through my documents folder. Came across a drabble I'd tried to write which still looked promising, but I can't make it work. Then I found what I'd written of a Darla historical fic back in January, wrote another twenty words or so and gave up. Apparently, I'm not in the mood.

Prompts, anyone? I can't even think of anything porny.

That said, I think the next story in my Spike/Giles retelling season 7 series may be ready to post. I just need to read it through one more time and make sure the bit of tinkering I did this morning really works. If it does, fine, if not, I'll have to tinker again. Either way, I'll post it tomorrow. And then the scary bit starts because I have to work out what happens next.

Oh fic writing brain, why won't you work?

But prompts would be good. Can't promise to write them, but I don't seem to have any ideas of my own.

ETA: re: prompts, at Writerconuk, as a result of [livejournal.com profile] brutti_ma_buoni's prompts talk, I realised that the sort of prompts that work best for me are the 'what if' sort. I'm not so good with single word-type prompts.

I just want to say thank you, The Hour, for not letting me down at last knockings. Even though...
