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....?

Could always try a fic on inequality.. I watched District 9 the other day, and aliens + segregation = very interesting open-ended thoughts on some things...

Haven't seen that movie (tv show?). I think writing in a genre other than contemporary is what's tripping me up, but the theme of equality is certainly a universal one. *thinking*

Thanks!
