 I  . . . didn't sign up for Yuletide this year.  It's the first time in a long while -- I haven't been really happy with the last couple of fics I wrote, (and last year I got no response of any kind from the recipient, which is . . . disconcerting.  Feels a bit like limbo) -- so it felt like a good year to just . . . not.  I might yet do some pinch-hitting, since I'm still on that email list.  Maybe this year I'll concentrate more on reading fic and discovering cool tiny fandoms.

I am, instead, considering doing some novel writing -- not, perhaps, NANOWRIMO as such, but using the time to really whip an idea into something workable.   It feels like time to get back into writing.

Yeah, not signing up sounds like a good decision in that situation. And for everyone's sake I hope this Yuletide will be full of interesting stories in interesting fandoms! I've hardly read any Yuletide fic the last couple of years. There just haven't been anything that's caught my interest.

It's always a good time to get back into writing! *waves pompoms encouragingly*

I'm looking forward to really perusing the archive this time! I'm certain there'll be some gems in there.

I am determined to actually get something written this year -- even if it's just an outline, or a scene or two. Something to start on! *is determined*

Ahh, I'm sorry that the Yuletide recipient last year left you with nothing but radio silence! That's weird.

But - feeling like it's time to get back into writing! That's great! I really hope you find something that pulls you in, be it NaNo or something else.

Yeah, that felt really odd. Though, as far as I can tell, their only fandom presence was tumblr, so maybe they're just from an fandom generation I don't quite understand? I don't know.

And, yeah, I've been itching to get some stories going. I just hope I'm not too rusty to make one stick!

It always sucks when the person you've written for doesn't respond. I'm sorry that happened to you.

But good luck getting back into writing.
