--Does writing energize or exhaust you?

Oh, neither, I think! I find it very soothing; when it goes well I would actually compare it to meditation, just being in the moment and letting the words flow through me. And I've been writing more again and am very happy about that! It's very indulgent, trope-y vampire fic, and I'd feel guilty about that except that life is a huge stress factor right now and anything that gives me a chance to just rest and write about erotically-charged bloodplay is a good thing. :P

How about you? Is writing exhausting or energizing you right now, and why?

Congrats on the writing! Sometimes tropey fics are pretty delicious =)

Personally, I find writing exhausting. I get really frustrated with my inability to actually write words. I have a missing scene that I've been working on (and stuck on) for months now that's still in bits and pieces.

I'm contemplating joining a mini bang but I'm terrified of not making it, not doing it justice, and not doing well. I can't get past the mental blocks and it's just... exhausting lol

Ugh, I hope you were able to get past those blocks! I ended up finding the vampire fic fairly exhausting as well, sadly. It was a multipart fic and I simply don't have the time or energy for more than oneshots at this point in my life, I think! Just too much commitment otherwise...
