Unfortunately the only writing I have done so far is on Christmas cards and I doubt if that counts. |:(
edit: Yay I finally started!
Word Count: 214
You're way ahead of me, Deb. The longest thing I've written is probably a website address...

Good luck getting started Deb! At least you're being dutiful on the Christmas card front! I never manage that :P

I finally started writing last night. I didn't get very far but at least I wrote something.

Hurrah! Good work getting started. Every word counts :)
Good one, Deb! A litlte something will become a big and impressive piece of writing in no time. :D

LOL, unfortunately I am enjoying my QLD holiday way too much to write. Thought I might have a go with some of the photos I've taken as prompts when I get home next week. I so lack motivation to do anything except enjoy the sun and heat. I think I've almost thawed out. :P
Even through my jealousy, I can totally understand. There's something about holidays that inspires blissful laziness. Keep having fun there!
Have fun on your holidays, Deb! I haven't written anything either since I left for my holidays, so the lack of writing is completely understandable. Enjoy the sun! :D

Sigh! I still have not added to my word count. I just can't seem to sit down to write. Must be the grinch in me.

One month down and still no words. Lets hope the new year bring some inspiration with it.
I hear you there Deb. Good luck with getting to it.

I finally added 1000 odd words. And I just installed a voice recognition program so I figure if I talk really fast for the next couple of weeks I might make it. :P

New Year, new attempt. I'm not aiming very high but I have an idea that I'm going to try to convert into words on the screen. Wish me luck, I have about 200 so far.

Well I've been doing quite a lot of writing, unfortunately it's all been character summary/chapter summary stuff, that I now need to type up and post in the encyclopaedia. Not feeling very creative, though I am enjoying my lessons in photoshop.
Well good luck, Deb. I find that any kind of writing seems to encourage more writing, perhaps if you continue with the summaries, you might feel like writing some of your own? :) It can be difficult to be inspired or feel creative or even find the time (and correct head space) to sit down and write. I hope you can! ^^;

Thanks Livia. I've got an idea I've been trying to work through but it is not quite ready to come out yet. I do try to keep up some kind of writing though and just hope for the best.
That's ok, Deb. :) I found that the users posting in my 'updates' thread really helped and wondered if a small post might help you at all. ^^;
Well, I was surprised at myself yesterday, I mean to write down some ideas I'd had for a new story and ended up writing down a lengthy conversation from a crucial scene.. It just happened! :P So maybe if you try jotting some notes down and trying to work your idea a little like that, you may surprise yourself! :)
I think we all just put pen to paper/fingers to keys and hope for the best. ^^; But I certainly understand. The original story I was planning to write for OberNoWriSu has been in my head for about 2 years! :s
Well, like Livia said, if it helps then, Go Deb Go!! :D If you're writing summaries, and you have a general idea for your own writing then maybe you could try to write a summary for it and it might actually progress into something more. Just writing little bits here and there might help a lot :)

Now that it's almost over for another year, my writers block has eased a little. I've written about 1000 in the past few days, all unrelated but words all the same. Need a few more now. :P
Good news, Deb! Hope the words keep coming for the next few days (and beyond).
