[Writing filter] Kickstart my creative drive?

[sarashina]

It's spring break! And I have decided that it shall be a spring break for WRITING. I can't let my less-than-stellar RL luck put a damper on fun fantasy times.

Here's what I'd like to play around with:

1. Cowriting projects that I've been too stressed to contribute to lately
2. Finish that last chapter of Imperial Guard book 1 so I can set it aside for a bit to let stew, and then retool. (Poor Imperial Guard. It goes through so many iterations.)
3. And most importantly, START NEW THINGS. :D

That's where I need your help. I feel like shopping around a little bit, playing with as many new things as possible. I wrote a page of The Hungry Ground earlier, and I've got some other potential projects: Possession is Nine-Tenths of the Law, a YA paranormal/urban fantasy set in Tokyo, and that middle-grade Stranger Than Fiction-esque project I've played around with before. But I want to take a few more things for a test drive to see what grabs me the most at the moment.

There's a certain prompt that I've had a lot of success with - it started both Catalyst and Grandmaster Draw, so I want to give it a go again. Could you guys comment with two different adjectives? I'll try writing a scene with two characters that those adjectives fit, and I'll see where that leads. :D

My own spring break turned out be kind of a bust, writing-wise, so I hope yours fares better! <3 Oh, and adjectives --

I'm really excited to read Possession~ I remember reading a little tidbit of it ages ago and it really piqued my interest<3

I'm not really good at this, but the last time I played Apples to Apples I ended up with "cute" and "cruel".

Way late to the party, but I wanted to let you know I'm watching Mushishi (finally), and my jaw has consistently dropped. Talk about effective character and story development within a short time frame @_@ Even the weaker episodes I've seen, I've gotten invested in--and with this series, "weak" is relative.

Subtle and efficient. Since we're on the subject.
