Fiction 2010 Poll

[dampscribbler]

I "gave up" writing in 2009, even going so far as to swear off of writing *any* fiction *at all* for the month of November (during which time I forgot my vow, entered a one-sentence writing contest, and won it). Now I'm playing with fiction ideas again, and wondering what to do next. As many wise folk do, I've decided to Ask The Internet!

I think it depends how you feel when you think about writing fiction. Does it fill you with excitement and enthusiasm? Or are those feelings mixed with dread/pressure/guilt/etc?

For me it's still too loaded with pressure and expectations, so I'm avoiding it.

Hi, Lisa!!
Yes, that's very much where I was/am, too -- dread and guilt. I think more journaling this year will do me a world of good, though, mainly for writing practice and gaining confidence, but also for a little bit of reflection and insight. When I can find the time and structure. I'm hoping that will come soon when my class starts and Maggie's back in daycare as well as Kindergarten. Assuming we avoid most of the nasty bugs that seem to be going around right now.
Thanks for your input! Will we see more of your gorgeous photos this year? :-)
