I go through phases in my writing, most definitely! My year is divided up in original and fandom. I hit my writing stride just in time for NaNo (because my brain is always gearing up for it) and I'm almost exclusively original until about Christmas when I start writing some fandom again. If all goes well, I can glide straight into summer and I never trip up.
But if I get overwhelmed with life, writing gets kicked to the curb early in the year and summer is my "you've got to get this started up again" time.
Lately, I've been running from original! How sad! I don't have the same structure in my life that I did in 2003-2007 so I don't have a lot of people that I can talk to about my originals. That might actually be a good thing but it's just taking me some time getting into the original phase of things! I think that's why I wanted to do this 30 day thing because I knew it would force me to remember how much fun I had with them and maybe that would jumpstart things earlier than November!
