Ghosts
Alright, So nomdesplum and myself and another and perhaps more are going to be doing a My Novel Writing Month in June. 50K words in the early part of summer. Now I am excited about this as I need something to get me writing again. I am going write about my brother. I know you're all shocked. It will be more of a story inspired by my relationship with my brother even some 13 years after his death, but a story about him nonetheless. The details are available in my head should anyone wish to hear, them, but that is not really the point of this post. The point is the fact that today I recieved an email from some stranger to seems quite personal about this stranger's relationship and the person they are looking to contact named Scott Cushing. Yes, my brother's name for those keeping score at home. Now I know for a certainty that there are other Scott Cushings in the world, but it need not stay the fact that it affected me. Not only does it hit on some part of me that has always wanted to be like my older brother, but it also just brings a ghost of him to hang around me in a very interesting way. It was weird.
To those other LJ friends who write. How is it going? Haven't been communicating well lately. I've felt like a bad friend, brother, son for quite a while now. I am trying to change it, but it is slow going.
Heh, I am putting on weight though. Which, if you know me. Is a good Thing. I've been hitting the protein hardcore lately and working out and there is a noticable difference. I just feel better. And it's nice to be a little more in shape.
