Melina, the bad, bad fan girl

melwilI realised earlier today that I've been a really bad fan girl. Except for drabbles (for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
tww100 the West Wing Drabble community - go join, go write, go read. It really rocks. Here ends fannish plugging), I have been involved in no fannish activity in the last week.
I haven't written a word of Tearstains, or a word in any of the other fandoms I'm involved in (besides those drabbles). I haven't read much, haven't feedbacked anything. I haven't posted on Zendom in eons, and I haven't gone all meta . . . I can't remember the last time I went meta.
Why? Why have I restricted activity to drabbling and reading through my friends list? I mean, I know I've been busy with work, but nothing like concert time or exam period when I usually managed to thump out a few stories.
I feel terribly short on stimuli. When I was at uni I spent most of the boring lectures coming up with story ideas. And then the train trips writing them. I was surrounded with new academic ideas, some of which (like translating Plato's Apologia turned themselves into story ideas.) But now I'm terribly busy at work, with not a lot of time for thinking; I spend the half hour walks to and from work reading (I've almost finished The Corrections) and I sort of die when I get home.
Hmm. Need a long, long break somewhere exotic *g*
Is anyone else feeling, well not fandom burn out, but fandom tiredness?
