[byslantedlight]

Finally the day has come - a Writing Wednesday that I haven't filled with other things! I have three things I need to do today - write, finish that bloody CoRtA form, and practice fiddle for tomorrow's lesson. which means that I have so far posted an October fic, downloaded a trial of Aeon Timeline, which I'm loving (and is at least connected to

Ah, thank you. *g* I have to admit though, that it was nice to see it when I scrolled up and down my flist - I bet other people thought so too! (I'm curious - why did you take it down after all?)

[ali15son]

well the reason i took it down is that he isn't Lewis Collins plus nobody seemed interested .

I wondered if it was a not-LC thing, but I must admit that because I like both lads together, I like to see MS as well as LC in my flist...

I know what you mean about commenting, it's always a strange thing. I don't always comment - though I do always mean to comment when you post pics of both Bodie and Doyle. It's not cos I don't want to though, or because they're your posts or anything like that - it's purely a matter of time and focus. I keep lj open on a tab all day, and now and then when I need a break from work etc. I refresh and flick through the latest posts again. I don't usually let myself comment when I do that, cos I know it'll distract me from work, and I know I'm supposed to be focussing on that, not chatting. And because my work is on the same screen as lj, it's very easy for me to suddenly realise that half an hour's gone by... *g* So I try to wait until after work to comment, but then that's usually late at night and then I end up passing things by in a blur of too-much-computer-screen now. It's very different from the way I used to - and want to - lj, when I had what felt like all the time and the headspace in the world to be online.

Even though I know it's not usually down to me whether people comment or not (well, I know that with some people it is), it still feels odd to post into what feels like a vacuum. These days people need a post to be around for a lot longer to comment, too, I've noticed.

Anyway - I'm not supposed to be on lj now either, I'm supposed to be dashing out the door for a fiddle lesson beforeI start work today! But honestly - if people don't comment on your posts quickly, it doesn't mean they're not appreciated, it's about them, not that people don't like/want your posts!
