Rambling about Writing

forestofgloryI've recently switched form "I'm not inspired to write any fic and thats fine" to "It would be nice if I felt inspired to write some fic" which is probably a positive sign for my mental health, if a bit frustrating.
I've got lots things that would be fun to put into a story floating around in my head. For example I'd like to describe some gardens, and I think it could be fun to write detailed fight scene, and I've been trying for ages to figure out how to make something story shaped about the labor of preindustrial textile production. But none of this has any story attached to it yet. I guess I'll just let thinks float around some more.
Meanwhile my write rec list every month plan is going well so far. I've drafted one I want to post next week. I've been doing a ton of reading and rereading for my epistolary/artifact fiction rec list that I'm working on next. That's been fun!
I ended up rereading a bunch of older post canon wangxian get togethers, and then I was thinking about how those where different form more recent fics like that. So I read some non-epistolary older get togethers to see if my observations held up and they did (so far). The older fics tend to have wangxian having more awareness of each other's feelings, and they are more likely to show traveling being healing for WWX. Also they more often directly reference the final scene in the show. So that's been a fun to think about.
