Assorted Grab Bag
"If I look back I am lost."
Autumn is coming. I can feel it and see it in the morning sun, where it rises from, is lower and obviously moving more and more south. Slowly. This means a great deal to me. One of which a form of Seasonal depression. Autumn is my favorite, favorite season of the year, as well as my least favorite season of the year. I grow nostalgic. But its the hardest season for me to deal with, because that nostalgia is also a curse. When I look back It makes it harder for me to move forward, to continue to be able to adapt to any situation that hits me. Nostalgia makes it that much harder.
I have reconnected with a lot of people lately from highschool and its great. And Weird. I didn't think I would talk to some of these people, for a long time, if ever and I am messaging them. It's great and again a sort of throwback to a time of my life when I was awkward, so terribly awkward.
I finished a story yesterday. A short Story based in the ShadowRun universe. Their website is looking for submissions for webfiction and I thought I would write something up. Granted its only a shit draft, but I feel pretty good about it and I am more proud that I stuck with it. I started writing the story toward the end of June and have been writing it in bits and pieces since. I have a hard time sitting down to write a story for extended periods of time.
I have been listening to a podcast called Writers on Writing. It's actually a radio show in California with this really annoying host (She does ask pretty good questions, but every time she says "Interesting" I want to strangle her.) But she talks to these writers and agents and editors and poets and playwrights and everyone in the industry and they all have so many wonderful things to say. It inspires me to write. It's a whole community in one show that helps me with all my questions. Theres a show uploaded as a podcast right now with Ron Carlson and his knowledge and what he talks about is just great. Get into podcasts for this podcast. It is wonderful. And Barbara DeMarco-Barrett has grown on me (the host). Listen to it and write.
This post was so much less eloquent than I had hoped.
