but i’ll give it a crack – suchasinistergame

The problem with writing fic and spending a long time in fandoms is that eventually you’ve plucked all the low-hanging fruit, and things inevitably become more difficult. Even if you still have the ideas, you feel like you’ve run out of fresh words – you get to the point where you’re repeating (or feel like you are at least) the same stock phrases and sentences, and you don’t know how many times you’ve used them. Of course everyone has a style, but I feel like I always describe similar situations and actions using exactly the same phrases. A fine classical tradition, but I’m not an epic poet, I have the benefit of writing and Gdocs. Just need a better brain. :/a
