My writing has slowed a fair bit lately. Not in all aspects, just that I've become hesitant to work on my fanfiction pieces, because I'm trying to explore my original work more. I'm writing a Royai Day piece, but beyond that I think I can honestly say that I don't know when I'll have more fanfiction posted. I'm not discontinuing it, just focussing on other areas. And it's more than likely that since I've suggested this I'll be more tempted to go and work on it.

These are the projects I'm trying to focus on now:

First, my Royai Day piece. I've been struck with inspiration for the beginning of that, and so long as I don't neglect it, it will be finished by Wednesday, on time.

Second, my new original writing piece. This one . . . it's not just going to be another silly story. I'm going to be applying myself to it very seriously, because I'm getting to the stage where I should at least be trying to get things published if I want writing to be life, and I want this to be the first story I submit to a publisher, even if it's not accepted.

Third, my forum novella for this season. It's winter for me, but considered the summer project I need inspiration for a plot for this, but it's doesn't start until the end of the month, so I still have time to think about it.

Fourth, my poetry. I'm not going to be trying to churn it out or anything, but I'm not going to put it off if inspiration strikes.

Concentrating on those, any other projects will be bonus. Likely they'll be my "when I need a break" things. I just know that I'll be trying to write a little bit on one of these first three projects every day. Whether that's a part of the story, or an exposition on one of the characters depends on what I need to know for the story. Hmm. Maybe my forum novella could be an exposition on one of the original story's characters? So long as I don't bungle it, that could work.

(Journals like this are so handy for my work ethic. It helps get my brain sorted out a whole lot, and puts things into order or priority instead of just being in Whateverland.)
