I found a new list of questions, these about writing in general! So...
Do you struggle with the ‘boring’ parts of writing?
Hm, what are the "boring" parts? I assume the question means the parts that are not personally inspiring/energizing to me, the parts that exist to connect things I AM interested in. Usually no, I don't struggle with them, to be honest! Sometimes it can be hard to get going on them, but once I do, there's usually something I find that sparks my interest and is a pleasure to write!
I am almost done with a small ficlet this week--nothing in-depth, just a little character study to try and get my head around a different character. I've been spending a lot of my days sleeping, shocked at how exhausted I am now that this difficult semester is over. I walked to the coffeeshop for breakfast and had to lie down for a bit when I got back because I was just too beat from the five-minute walk to and fro. I hope you're less tired, or that if you are, you also have some time to recover and recuperate!

I've been kinda vegging out on YouTube the past week and doing Super Bowl-related things on-line (checking out the Rams' message board, reading articles on the sports site, etc.), so not much writing done, though I did start a drabble-length ficlet for Clark/Bruce last night.
Mostly I've been going back to my notebooks and pulling out old works that have been sitting there awhile, and trying to get those ready for posting. My new inspiration well is a bit dry at the moment, so I figure checking the stuff in storage might keep me going. :)
Keep resting! If you're this tired your body is telling you that you need to rest.

That sounds like a lovely idea! I hope you got something good from it!
