Introductory post
Hello, I'm misslucyjane and this is my Big List of Next. Among the anthology submissions and too many novel ideas for one lifetime, I've also got a novella I promised my publisher ... three years ago? I think? and a screenplay I've been working on, off and on, mostly off, for almost seven years.
I've been writing fanfic since I was a kid, publishing it online since 1996, and publishing professionally since 2007. I don't write a whole lot of fanfic anymore, since I'd rather spend my free time on stuff I get paid for--and I don't have a whole lot of fanfic ideas anymore. I'd rather play with my own toys.
I joinedonedeadplotbunny because I'm kind of unmotivated for everything right now, and it's really awful. I've had a rough couple of years and I think that's a very large part of it, but I still have all these stories I want to write and want to submit. I just can't get myself to actually work on them. I come home from the day job and look at Tumblr until bedtime, basically. I'm a longtime member of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
getyourwordsout and it's been very helpful most years, but last year I fell way, way, way short of my goal and I'm worried this year is going to be much the same, despite my best goals and intentions.
So, motivation. Yes, please.
