Here There Be Dragons

 Well, as all of you know (because I have been whining about it for months) - I am in a bit of a writing slump.

I have read that one of the ways to overcome a block is to get away from your normal writing area, get into a new surrounding as the change in locale often facilitates a change in writing patterns or in my case help to jump start the dragon muse.

I am gonna give that a try. I have nothing to lose and I am going to have the time as I don't go back to work until after the new year holiday.

Next week after the Christmas holiday festivities are over, I am going to pack up my writing journal, my lap top, pull Linnie kicking and screaming from his lair and head to my favorite bookstore or maybe Starbucks where I will buy some hot tea or maybe a hot chocolate and just let my mind wander....

I don't expect to write a full blown story, heck at this point I would be thrilled just for an inkling or two - either way at least I will be doing something instead of wringing my hands & feeling sorry for my inner writer self.

Wish me luck!

I woke up this morning with an idea for an original fic, the whole thing just kind of came to me in one fell swoop - I even have the title.

I have never written an original fic before and would love to have someone to bounce around the concept with.
 
I have always written for established characters - so the fleshing out of characters is new for me - I would love for someone to give me a few  pointers on that.

Anyone interested in taking a stroll with me  as I journey through new territory as a writer?  I promise I won't take too much of your time.

that I have run up against yet another wall in my casestory ?

Standing in front of the open freezer door eating ice cream out of the carton.

yeah, deleted the 500 words I just wrote.  It belongs in the trash.

Meh!

ETA: Taking a little break & watching Deeks (ECO) in The Thing on satellite.

Another edit: ECO will always be Deeks to me.
