I'm Stella. I used to be über-prolific (the last novel I wrote was 240K words) but then I hit the age of 18 and suddenly everything became Very Difficult; I got obsessed with how good my writing was (or wasn't) and basically just got myself into such a state that I can't write any more because I'm so unhappy with the results. I still have characters living in my head, very clearly defined and familiar to me, but I can't plot to save my life and I don't seem capable of coming up with ideas any more. Just people. I'm hoping I can use this challenge to find the fun a little and ease back into writing gently. My long-term goal is to tap back into the well of creativity that seemed so bottomless when I was younger and dried up so suddenly. I'm hoping it's all still there!
