I probably make a post like this every year

So I checked out my fic tag today. Nothing I've written this year has hit 2k words, aside from one fest fic. Don't get met wrong. I like my flash fic and drabbles, they are compact efficient stories. Often they have cool imagery or phrasing or 'twists' I like.

But I have so forgotten how to do. plotting. Or build ups. Or dialogue. Or.... anything for a longer fic. Which is worrisome because I'm committed to writing one.

I feel likeTam has efficiently said what I wanted to say already.
I really think it's the stress talking, and you'll be fine. I LOVE what you wrote last year for smutty-claus, and I feel like it was less about elaborate plot, more character-driven, humour and awesome smut. Like Tam saif, if you have fun writing I think it'll be okay. Usually, brainstorming on headcanon and random ideas with someone who's enthusiastic does it for me? Good luck! *waves cheerkeader pompons*

Thanks! I remember you liking that one :) A lot of it for me is narrowing down which girl to pair with Harry this time. (I don't think this counts as too big a clue :P ) and the scenario and then I can go for it.

:) Nice cheerleading.

How is your SC going? Have you decided what to do?
