I write best when desperate to escape/avoid my responsibilities. The trouble with this strategy is that it provides zero support when looking forward to things.
Maybe convince yourself you're not going to have any fun? Then, you'll write awesome fic, and THEN, you'll be pleasantly surprised on your trip.
As for this -- Why is the language in so many fantasies so formal? Whatever the reason (I guess, a stylistic nod to Legends of Olde?), it's why I have a lot of trouble enjoying most fantasy. I don't want to trudge throuh my reading. Contractions feel completely natural to me too.
Do you/have you read Terry Pratchett? I rec Terry like woah.
