Holy shamoly, I got name-dropped in the notes.

Now I've got even more incentive to blast apart my current writer's block on "Myou've".

DO IT

To add to you incentive I'll donate £10 to the Against Malaria Foundation when you do (utilitarian blackmail?).

gasp You can have a writer's block?

Hey, I had a pretty good run of near-daily, 2k-word chapters.

At the moment - the first non-Myou've story I tried breaking the block with foundered and is probably defunct.

However, I'm currently working on another non-Myou've story; and am actually making progress. I've got a skeleton of a plot written out, and over 1500 words of an actual first draft, and am getting feedback and encouragement by writing it in a GoogleDoc I've given a few other people access to. I think I've got a good chance of actually turning this one into a complete story - and once I do, I'm going to try using the momentum I build up by getting back to "Myou've".
