I share thought process

I'm writing the prompts, I'm writing.

I do have a problem though. Some of the ones I got from the meme, plus some of the ones I get from my usual prompts community, they all lead me in one direction. Keep picking at the same wound.

With that, I have two problems. A, just how many times can I write the same basic story obsessively before everyone is sick and tired of it, and B, well, some of the things would be perfect for happy smut, and all I get is torture and torment and lack of joy. Which would probably bring... sharper reactions in readers, maybe, but, I don't *want* to write misery.

That's why I played that game, to get pushes in new directions. That Tessa thing? I never wrote Tessa before. That was cool. I also rarely write Silas, for example. Not to mention I just haven't written HL in ages other than those lame drabbles. I ask for challenges all the time; I used to ask for such complex prompts and challenges, you wouldn't believe. I just feel so blah right now.

It is very similar for me. I just had a bad couple-of-months when it comes to certain muses.
