(no subject)
I really hope that when we get the chance to look back on this piece of shit year we'll be able to pinpoint it as the nadir, the rock bottom that things hit before they started to improve, rather than viewing it as "the beginning of the end", which is what it seems to insist on resembling.
It's making it more than a little difficult to concentrate on what to write on LJ, since outside of the usual bilious, nauseating carousel of unstable emotions and volatile interactions with people my thoughts are about either a: trying to work out when I can expect the next person to die, b: if that person will have to be me (terrifying news stories set off "you cannot escape horrible future except by death" panics), or c: laboriously trying to hammer research out of library books and into laying the ground work of the Advent Chronicles.
Should mention that I have made another enormous clutch of really quite pretty jewellery but haven't put any of it up for sale yet:
I have also published The Other Daughter and received a proof. I will do a proper post about it at some point in the future but it's available to buy now - not as an eBook, because Lulu have gone weird about that and I need to sort it out - but as a print book, it is all ready. I'll link when I do the proper post.
Possibly going to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie tomorrow, which will no doubt be followed by vociferous complaints on my part. Either that or I'm going to have another failure of motivation and spend the entire day compulsively making jewellery and reblogging pictures of thin half-naked boys with tattoos smoking in cornfields.
