Funny, my mom isn't at all afraid of hurting my feelings. But she's hardwired to be absolutely incapable of seeing the big picture, so instead of asking me about characters and plot, she's nitpicking about how one line of dialogue is phrased, and then I wonder why I wanted her to read it in the first place.
I did look up local writing groups. Problem is... me. Remember how I said there are certain situations where I turn into a complete introvert? That'd be one of them. So...yeah. I need to get over that, I know.
See, there's been a long while where I haven't felt compelled to write at all (and I suspect cfud has had a not-small influence on that aha), and I know that if I can get back into that headspace, then it'll come back. Because it's something I love, and that kind of love doesn't go away. It's more than just something I like to do -- it's almost like a sickness. It's a compulsion. I have to tell stories. Even if people don't like them! And I fell into a slump there, where I just... didn't write. For whatever reason. The spark isn't dead, but I think it's hibernating hardcore.
