I think my current problem is that the one long project I still feel like working is at the state where it pretty much needs a whole rewrite based on the existing outline (which I love -- like, it's really good, it just needs a lot of effort poured in) and all the rest of my ideas really don't extend any farther than the vague concept of the elevator pitch.
Moments like this I wish I liked drawing, because a lot of these read more like comic or just image pitches rather than stories, because they're not very conductive to having plot -- or at least narrative -- added to them. They're all, across the board, mood pieces, and I still don't really know how to approach writing those because in my experience you need an endpoint planned before you start writing or it won't really go anywhere.
I guess I'll just... IDK, clean up my tagging system on DW and binge on Games As Lit, for now. If the inspiration is gonna come back, it'll come at some point -- all the things I've managed to written were written in a "nobody's gonna wanna read this but goddammit I just gotta write it" kinda mood, and while being proved correct that nobody did, indeed, wanna read them ( :') ) was a blow to my confidence... well, it's not like I had any confidence in them in the first place, lol. Just gotta wait for that creative second wind, or the moment when not writing becomes unbearable.
