I haven't written too much about my artistic side on here, but when I'm not out being a total whore one of things that I do is write fiction. I've studied it for a while and I've been sending my work out for almost two years now, but I haven't gotten published yet - I know already that these things take time and connections, so I'm unfazed.

But for some reason, lately, I haven't had much energy to work on short stories. I finished one story two weeks ago, but I should be starting something else. The weird thing is that I have a few ideas that I think could come out really well, but I can't get myself motivated to complete any of them.

I think it may be because I worked too hard on my writing last semester. Between January and May I wrote four short stories and a sixty page novella. My stories typically deal with people trapped in dysfunctional relationships or having control issues. I've been told by heterosexual women in workshops that my stories with these themes are "hot". But some of the ideas I've had lately are more mild and sentimental - I may, in fact, be losing my edge.

In the meantime, I should work on getting what I already have in great condition. Does anyone out there wanna publish me?
