Oh, man, yeah, it's like a muscle that needs training, plotting and every other stage of writing, really.

I'm still down for plotting, but the sitting down and churning out the first draft is something that's not been coming easily for me recently. I know I only have to push out that first draft to get to the stage where I can work it over into something better, but I just keep getting lost in the details and then get stuck. :P But flashficcing has helped a bit with that.
