I’ve been meaning to work on existing projects, but every time I start thinking about what I want to do my muses head for the hills. (I have a feeling that has more to do with the fact that I have too many WiPs as opposed to not enough.)
I’ve got the time to spare right now, I’ve got the writing desk cleaned off, I’m even back to reading daily again… but I just can’t seem to get the momentum going to where words start hitting paper.

There are plenty of flash fiction challenges out there that could jumpstart things, but I’ve found that writing those drabbles doesn’t really lead to working on anything else. They’re fun, but they’re caramel popcorn fun– filling and tasty but not very nutritious.
So starting tonight I’m going to stop thinking and start trusting the dice.
I’m rolling two dice every night and come heck or high water I will write a drabble (or snippit) to match. If it’s any good I’ll post it, and if not it will get disassembled and used for Saturday Story Prompts.
With luck I’ll be back on my game by the time April’s Camp NaNoWriMo rolls around… *crosses fingers*
