Boy, am I back to writing.

Okay, I'm actually not writing all that much.  But it feels like I'm writing a lot.  For the last couple of years, I haven't had much urge to write stuff.  I'm still telling myself the same amount of stories at any given time, just not writing them down.  So my fic output has been mostly "oh, hey, I should write more and that sounds like a fun ficathon, so I guess I'll sign up."

In the last month I have:

1. Started a new WIP (Remix of Going Native by rapfic )
2. Started a new story which I hope will be medium length and finished relatively soon (Cyd Charisse as a Vulcan)
3. Finished two WIPs (one not posted yet) (treknovelfest vignette about Spock and Saavik hasn't been posted, but Teal'c and General Hammond on Ash Wednesday has)
4. Opened up several other WIPs and got creative juices flowing again with them (Superman Returns future fic about Kara (Supergirl), the sequel to Unreal Things, a couple of others).
5. Started what I thought would be a short story but will probably end up being a lot longer (Jim Kirk and Carol Marcus)
6. Had wonderful inspiration today for one of the WIPs I hadn't opened up to start thinking about finishing. (Today I took a Prepare/Enrich class, which is a one-day seminar to help pastors use the Prepare/Enrich system of marital/premarital counseling.  And I had a lot of good ideas on what to do with a Star Wars AU WIP--Anakin doesn't turn, instead he and Padme settle down with the twins on a tiny backwater planet where they are both bored out of their skull and after a few months of living together Padme realizes their relationship has SO MANY PROBLEMS and drags Anakin to couples counseling.  Which, yeah, communication: NOT THEIR STRONG SUIT.  Which is kinda weird for a Jedi and a politician, if you think about it.)

And I ask myself, where did all this come from?  Why haven't I had this kind of inspiration and drive to write in the last several years?  It doesn't seem to be tied to mood or activity levels.

At this point, I don't really care whether or not I finish anything new.  I'm just excited to be writing.
