Finally got over to the LJ Book site and saved all my blatherings to PDF. I'm working on my novel right now and looking for some inspiration (and information) and so of course I got sidetracked... reading my LJ when it was new, and it was big, and lots of people were on it. I miss those days.
Anyway, I was just reading the section when I got pregnant with Josie... April 11, actually. Got sick as a dog on a tilt-a-whirl a month later and have never been able to ride spinny rides again. It's so funny to read the entries that seem so, so long ago.
And here I am.
THere are LJ people who have long since gone out of my life. There are people who just stopped using LJ. There are people who hated what I wrote and "unfriended" me, which a couple of times was excruciatingly painful. I think the years have given me a thicker skin - or maybe Facebook has - I routinely 'hide' people on FB whose posts I find offensive or annoying, and I've unfriended a number of people there.
I haven't unfriended anyone here, though, but it's like a ghosttown here on LJ. I miss you guys.
My novel is coming along, but I'm at a hard point right now where I just need to get the story down and then flesh it out. I just want it to be done. The internet did such a number on my life - expanded it at the same time it condensed it. I spend less time on the computer than I used to, which is good, I think.
The one thing I have in common with that past is the endless rain. It makes me so tired. I am ready for summer.
