I think I got it back. (said that before :) )
I have been working on a bunch of tiny stories to try to figure out what I was doing when I was writing before and why the newer stuff was, erm, .. yeah, shit. I hate being honest with myself - it's like giving myself injections - it's one of the things I am REALLY glad I have caretakers for.
ANYWAY.
I didn't figure out why or what I have been doing wrong lately with the writing, but after reading a bunch of old stuff and starting new things after reading the old I believe (with crossed fingers) I have got a grasp on what I want to and how to do it.
I have a couple of new story starts that feel better. I'm going to touch up one and post it (soon, for various definitions of soon). It's not a whole story, but even rereading the parts I did a couple of weeks ago I don't cringe, so it's worth the risk of plopping them out and seeing if I cringe when seeing them in public.
Fair warning - there is hints of erotica. The erotica is NOT the main point, which is one of the issues I have had with the stories that maked me go bleah for a long time. I like writing erotica, but I love fantasy more and I want to go toward that more.
Honestly - there will always be some erotica in everything I write. There are asexual people, I have read, but I'm not one and I can't imagine what it would be like to be so. So I'm not going to try to write it. It would be an insult to those that are, since I'd get it wrong. (Yeah, I'm one of those people that thinks it is offensive to try to write about things you don't understand as if you did.)
So, it's been an update! In mostly correct US English. :)
