I hope that's an encouragement for those who didn't pen any new prose either. But today is a new day. It's time to move on.
If you need a little inspiration to jumpstart your creative juices, I came across a very interesting site that made me go, "hmmm."
It's a collection of photographs and narrative about a recently discovered stash of suitcases in the attic of a closed insane asylum. Hold on. I hear you. Am I crazy myself? That's debatable, but honestly, just take a peak at this: Abandoned Suitcases Reveal Private Lives of Insane Asylum Patients and see if that doesn't make you wonder outside the walls of your usual box. It just might give you new insight into one of your characters and add an extra dimension to them.

I didn't have time to read it all, but just looking into those suitcases, I saw a lot of things that would have been confiscated from someone sent to a mental hospital today. Very interesting. I imagine writers could come up with some inventive stories using just one of these suitcases.
No words written- sort of reminds me of my dissertation which I REALLY need to start working on.
That's only 10,000 words though. Albeit 10'000 words on treason, sedition, heresy and just war in the reign of Henry V, with a helping of contemporary sources and a smattering a dollop of confusion of Still not being sure quite exactly what approach to take, or the such.
Add to that a pinch of the frustration of apparently having picked a topic which has been 'done to death', against the necessity of finding something new, and one has a complete recipe for a Undergraduate History Headache.
Bon Appetit.
