Something to help me stay inspired when I write for this game.

Sometimes, a nice, big ice cream sundae can do the trick! ;)

I've got about a half dozen unfinished Traveller novellas, about 8 short stories (all finished), and a host of adventure ideas that I've written down, started on, but have found some detail to bog me down or otherwise psychologically torpedo my enthusiasm.

Ra ra, go Blue Ghost go. We wanna read your stuff!

Taking Icosa's sentiment a step further, would feedback from fellow Travellers be helpful? Why not post your short stories or novellas in serial form here on CotI in the Travellog (blog) area? I've found the Traveller online community, on the whole, to be most inspiring.
 
Writing is hard. For all sorts of reasons.

If you have 8 short stories that are finished, I'd publish them (in some format). If they can be "adventurized", I'd do that as well (come up with some maps, break down the encounters, get a gear and equipment list together), that's all fairly mechanical, but it can perhaps get you "back in the mood". Or simply write up some background material that's "game-able" (verbing weirds language) based on the short stories, if that's practical.

And if you have a conumdrum, find a friendly voice here to bounce the problems off of (not necessarily "all of us" if you don't want to make it public, but I'm sure someone would step forward if you asked).
 
Thanks guys :)

It's been kind of a rough four years for me, but things have "come together" for lack of a better term. Some of the stories are good, others not so much--yet completed as they're going to get.

I'll about posting them in the blog section. You all are great! :)
