So far my writing goals have not been working out. BUT - new month = new plan.

I am so thoroughly stuck on the steampunk thing, frustrated trying to plot out novel-length plots. So I think going back to the basics and writing some vignettes, flexing the writing muscles that are stiff and sore, getting *something* done rather than beating my head against a brick wall is the way to go.

Prompts, anyone? Comment fics? (Not necessarily fandom, but I won't turn it down outright. I'm just not *in* any fandoms at the moment.)

Sample - Yesterday I went to get my oil changed. The guy at the autoshop is my age. The guy at the desk is very femme. What if they were a couple....?

Steampunk prompt for you; Explorers commissions an engineer to miniaturize communication and/or recording devices for a new expedition deep into the jungle. Engineer may have to go along for maintenance of portable prototype devices.

Hmmm... I think the problem I'm having is with the genre, actually. I read your prompt and my brain just blanked out like tv static. I'm so used to contemporary that I'm simply locking up.

But I will put this on my list and give it a try. :)
