Three weeks, self? WHAT IS THAT.
I was going to say something meandery and awkward about how sometimes not posting is like being at a party and listening for too long without talking and suddenly you realize it's been hours and you've like WHAT ARE WORDS? HOW DO I CONVERSATION?
However I've decided against it and instead I'll just say HELLO FRIENDS! I'VE MISSED YOUR FACES.
Where were we?
1. I signed up for het_bigbang, and if you're wondering if the reason you haven't seen posts about it since is that I made a filter and you're not on it--no, I've just been being stoic and interesting faily and morose tongue-tied and dorktastic uh, uncommunicative. My little poll about whether to make a special het_bigbang filter suggested most people thought I didn't need one, so I won't make a special group but I will make any posts about it friends only, so on the odd chance that this would exclude someone who's reading this and who'd like to have my writing process inflicted upon them, please let me know in the comments.
2. I MISS WRITING!
Since I signed up for het_bigbang I've barely been writing anything. I feel like I've been doing nothing but home projects for weeks--planting flowers and vegetables all over our porches, rescuing old furniture, setting up our composter, reading cookbooks, getting a grill and figuring out how to use it. I'm not sure why the sense of accomplishment I get from doing these things doesn't compensate for the strangeness of not writing, but it doesn't. I miss my words and all the stupid struggles I go through with them. :(
I did drag all my old Spock Epic files with me to the design conference that devoured the first three days of this week, and read and sketched out changes to them on the train going back and forth. Progress--?
3. There's a music meme going around which I love, but I don't know that I can do a 30-day meme (though I probably should, hah) so this is just a song that makes me feel happy, Thanksgiving Day Parade by Dan Bern. The lyrics are kind of beautifully nonsensical and this video bears no resemblance to what I've always envisioned when listening to it, but it's one of my very favorite songs so here it is. Dan Bern ♥
Okay, now to make dinner. MORE LATER BBS.
