writer's block

[sepiastars]

I've been reading a lot of fanfiction lately in keeping with my current new obsession, "Supernatural," (and because I get really bored at work), and it has made me realize how rusty my writing has actually gotten. I wrote a short speculative fanfic and sent it in to a good site, and then upon rereading it, especially in comparison with all the others ones that are up there, decided that I really need some practice. It needed editing, and badly. I remember the days when I would write several pieces a day, and anything from a picture to a song to someone else's idea would inspire me. Now, I have no good ideas, and even when I have a good one, I can't get it onto paper the way it plays in my head and reads like a high school creative writing assignment.

And here's another thing: you know what really irks me? Slash. Maybe guy-on-guy turns some people on, but I think it's icky. And the only thing worse than general slash is Supernatural slash, commonly called "Wincest" because the characters are 2 brothers whose last name is Winchester. Why would you ever fantasize about two brothers? That's in such bad taste. And it completely freaks me out.

Oooooh Wincest. Sounds hawt.

TEEHEE, just kidding.

I remember when I used to could draw. Man, those were the good ol' days.

Sorry you are having trouble writing. I can never write down what plays in my head. The two brothers thing is just gross. Of the few fanfictions I have ever read about different series/shows, almost all of them have some kind of guy on guy or girl on girl thing going on. I never understood why they write that kind of stuff. Anyway, good luck with the writing.
