I've really been having trouble getting words on the page, lately; part of it is that I'm rusty from a year or so away, but most of it is that any small amount of confidence I had before is gone. I decided that writing a few snippets for anon prompt memes might be a good way to ease myself back into things - but so far they've gone over like lead balloons, so now I'm feeling worse about my writing than I even though possible. Ugh.
Every time I take a break from writing (it's always health reasons - sometimes my brain just cannot form words for months on end) I always fear that I've broken something inside my head that'll never be fixed again.
On a better note, my computer situation is sorted - the desktop is well and truly dead, but a friend had a nearly-new laptop she wanted to sell and offered it to me with an agreement to pay monthly instead of all at once, making it actually affordable for me right now.
I forgot how nice having a portable computer is, really. I'm currently on the sofa in a nest of blankets and pillows and oh, it's comfortable.
