Several people expressed relief after my last post, to hear that I'm still alive and kicking. So I thought I'd follow up and say (1) yep, I'm still here, (2) there's no indication that will change in the immediate future, but (3) I am reaching the point where "getting up there in years" is an appropriate description, and my health is still in the toilet. Retirement is a few years off yet - not much chance of an early one, more likely a late one :) - so most of what energy I have is devoted to making a living.
I have been finding a little more interest lately in this side of my personality, possibly due in part to a medication change a couple of months back. I've been doing more checking up on hentai cartoons, reading erotica (ok, not to put to fine a point on it, porn), and thinking about scenarios. At the moment I'm writing this I'm in the middle of a few days off from work, and was hoping I might actually get myself to write a little something, but so far the muse has been proving elusive.
I do have a sense of determination to do some more writing. If my health will just hold out, and inspiration will take me in its teeth and shake me.
Health comes first. Get better and de-stress from some of the things that are being hard on you and your muse will come back.
ReplyDeleteWell, as far as remember some of the great Ranma's fic are still unfinished. Ten and Shadow Chronicles are some examples. Even Heart of Ice took time to be completed. I think it was 9 years or something like that. Why yours will be different? :D
ReplyDeleteAs the first Anonymous said Health comes first.
Yes, HoI was completed, sort of. It never really felt - to me - like the ending fit the story all that well.
DeleteI felt like that too. To tell you the truth, a lot of people said this. However the dialog about marriage in the last chapter and the particular line "Dying is easy. Marriege is hard." was priceless. This sentence got stuck forever in my head :D
DeleteYes!!! I really hope you'll get better enough to start writing again.
ReplyDeleteI hope so, too. Of course, immediately after making this post, I went and succumbed to a fever, which I've spent the last several days trying to shake off. I really need to learn not to jinx myself like that.
DeleteMaybe it's a curse, that makes your health worse every time you start thinking about doing naughty thing to Ranma and Akane?
DeleteI'd be dead if so. Insert "writing about" after "thinking" and I could believe it was true.
