Accountability, author's timecard, word count written, feeling lonely out there?
Starbeam:
50,002. Couple more scenes that I think will give me trouble, then I hit the buildup into the end.
Enjorous:
Nope, I noticed it this summer but I thought it was writers block. Now when I get time to write I just don't want to.

@Gand - Well, you can burn yourself out on anything. Also, "life happens". Sometimes life drives writing, sometimes it doesn't. Here's hoping you enjoy writing again...
@Starbeam - You've made me think of something here. I'll post part in a separate question, but also, are you one that writes beginning -> end? I've been jumping around, and it is interesting that the end pieces are not nearly as difficult as some of the set-up pieces.

Yeah, beginning to end. If I try to skip around, things don't make so much sense, and there can be references to one thing where it shouldn't even be known, and all sorts of stuff. But I always know where the ending is; I always have that figured out in my head before I start writing. It might get tweaked and changed a bit, so I don't write it down for that reason, but I don't forget. I still have a story ending for one I set aside about 13 years ago.
Enjorous:
So it seems naming the problem actually helped it resolve itself. So far today I've gotten about 1300 words out and it's only just one o'the clock. These words have no bearing on any of my other former/current projects, but wordslinging hasn't been this fun in a while.
