If only...

...the mere act of installing Scrivener and Liquid Story Binder would inspire me to actually WRITE.

(I have the itchy creative brain/no inspiration combo that often precedes me flinging myself bodily into a new fandom. Unfortunately, there's not one damn thing I'm feeling fannish about right this minute, so instead I will go farm leather and crab meat along the Pandaren coastline.)

Edit: And then I was ridiculously pleased to finally track down, after YEARS of not being able to remember anything about the title and author, and remembering only the most sketchy details of plot, Godsfire (This was the cover it had when I read it. I remembered said cover completely wrong, except for the part where there were cats. Now I wonder where the hell my mental image of a vaguely Egyptian-esque cat lady reclining on a throne came from.)

*winds around* pandas? we could write pandas together. ^_^ or you could help me plot out the dwarf/unseelie thing for tackling in august?

I'm feeling irritated with fandom and less than fannish too - this tends to be where I fall off the fandom map and start coughing out worldbuilding on OCs on a regular basis. >__>

Good lord, don't I also wish that "deciding what software to use" also would actually force me to write. I swear, I have this hobby of trying out all the notebook/writing organization apps. And then I end up going back to "text documents + some minimalist word processing app that will edit and sync with dropbox".

*pokes at book link* ...that is...a rather special Photoshop job on the new cover. But ooh, she's got a lot of books, doesn't she? I always kind of like that, when there's all sorts of oneshot books. It's a tendency that I miss in older authors. A lot of authors now just seem to stick with the same characters over and over....

Notepad++ is my current fave. Mostly for word counting capability. :D

I agree! I like that authors are doing that, too. There's so much good stuff that is out of print now. One author I really like who's doing that is Rosemary Kirstein. Her Steerswoman series is awesome. :D

:) *looks* Ah, she does have all of them up on Kindle. Awesome. :D I was just sliiiightly off-timing, as I found and bought her stuff in paperback. It was only the last one that I had to pay the "wow, this is really out of print, isn't it?" tax on. ^_^;;
