Writers block: I no longer have it.

[strangetomato]

The writing bug bit me hard today. It's nice to be back in that mode, since I haven't really been there for a while. I'd get short spurts of creativity, but I feel more back in a routine with it now, which is nice. I'm picking away at parts of the next couple of chapters all at once, and it's coming together pretty well.

... and I may or may not have just written a conversation between Johnny and Ripp where they compare penis stats. *snicker* What is WRONG with me?

Ehh... I'm not ashamed. It's funny. (And it's not like they haven't gone there already.) But yeah, I actually deliberated over what they would be, in specific measurements. Character development just went to the next level.

I have a theory that when you have women talking together for long enough, the topic WILL turn to menstruation. Same applies to other bodily functions, but something about bleeding from the crotch gives it this unique phenomenon.

I think what would help me is to start my paper journal again. Just the act of writing with a good pencil or pen can jump-start the creativity. And yeah, revising fanon after canon changes is tough. Fortunately I set my fic before the series of movies and I can easily enough maneuver around canon.

Not to say that strife and suffering in a story is bad, I just prefer to read happier things. The world is sucky enough; I don't need to add to it reading fiction for recreation. Your story looks good enough to break my pattern, though. <3

Hah, that suits Ripp perfectly! He wants the romance, but deep down he also wants some kiddos. I wouldn't have guessed that about the others, though.

I found a teen Ripp extracted from the game on the exchange, so he has the original correct genetic structure. I also found a Johnny and Pollination Technician (not PT Smith but the original PT that abducts you) which has led me to think of a story of my own. Gotta get my downloads sorted out so my game loads, then I can tweak everyone's genetics and stats and actually start the story.

Now to decide if I want to start Ripp out as a teen and put him through college, or just age him in CAS...
