I can't seem to write fiction at all at the moment. Every time I put fingertip to keyboard the result is decidedly uninspired. Oh, the individual sentences are OK but I can't seem to get them to hang together into a coherent story. I'm going to have to email Marieki and apologise that her fic is so late.

But I get some pleasure in checking my reader logs. In the last twenty-four hours my website has amused people in Portugal, Edinburgh (anyone I know?), Florida, Ohio. Michigan, Nebraska, Dallas, Vienna, Belgium and the Bay Area.

Anyone got any hints on how to get one's groove back?

I would advise not ruining your current projects by messing with them when you aren't in the zone

This is tremendously sound advice -- would that I had followed it in the past! I think the block has cleared up, but when it comes back I will try the sort of exercises you recommend.
