My year has been an on-off year in terms of writing, too. I got on a roll right at the beginning of the year with a new story I had started, Sick as My Secrets, and wrote on that pretty consistently until spring break. Then I decided to buy a house, and the rest of the spring and most of my summer revolved around that, so my writing pretty much came to a standstill until the last few weeks of summer, then stopped again when school started. I am also in the process of getting my master's degree, which has kept me busy this past semester. I literally wrote nothing (fanfic-wise) from mid-August until about a week ago when I started winter break. I am trying to ease back into it and hope that I can get going on SAMS again before my next class starts and I get super busy again. I want to have the kind of inspiration where I will find the energy and MAKE time to write because I am that motivated, but it's hard when it's been so long.
