I highly recommend you get involved in the 500-word Prose That Blows event that's going on right now. That's a great way to get back into the groove.I often feel like everything has been done too. But you can't let that stop you. Where would we be if songwriters said "Nah, that other guy already did a song about love"? :)
Don't reinvent the wheel; put new spokes on it. Start with a convention you think is overdone, then try to alter it or break the cliche. That's probably easier than forcing yourself to come up with something nobody's ever seen before ever ever.
I was noticing that contest, and was really giving thought into it. I think I might throw my hat in the ring now.
And about reinventing... I do have an angle many don't see in it. The entire male-inflation part. I know its something most don't write about... let alone, many here just seem to admire the female parts of the fetish. (And I don't blame them either, even I like female's inflated. -_-; ) However, I prefer the idea of cute males being puffed up like balloons and become hopeless to other acts. ^_^;
I know I have a few ideas in my head that I can use, so I think I'll start playing with them.
