Wrote and Lived
And here we are. May 1st. May 1st and my Big Bang isn't finished.
I feel disappointed. And a little sad. But I think what I'm mostly feeling is a strange sense of guilt for not feeling badly enough. Normally, under such circumstances, I'd feel like a total failure. But today, I don't. I actually feel pretty good about my story, which is moving along fairly well, although I already anticipate some extensive editing, but that's not today's task, so I'm not worrying about it. Well, not too much.
I had a fear that not finishing my Big Bang on time would ruin the whole Big Bang event for me, and that I'd feel so crappy about it that I wouldn't be able to even read other people's stories. Happily, I don't feel this way at all, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what comes out of this year's challenge. I loved so many of the fics I read last year, and I'm actually quite excited!
In other news, Montreal got cold again, but I don't really mind, myself. I hate it when we go from having snow on the ground to heat stroke in a week. Weather that's gorgeous in July leaves me Not Amused when it comes in April.
Oh, that's right, we're in May now. Right, because I missed the Big Bang deadline. Did I mention that? In any case, I'm happy to have some mild temperatures for a bit. It gives me some time to assemble a sorely needed summer wardrobe.
Man, I can't wait to get some sandals, and some pants that aren't heavy jeans. (To note, I don't believe in shorts, so I'm crossing my fingers that I find something that's not shorts and also not jeans that I actually like.) I'm also excited about the prospect of patio furniture, since I have two balconies and nothing on them, and I'm hoping to make a morning ritual of having my coffee outside and just enjoying the warm peace of early day. And what's more, I actually feel like I deserve treats for having done as well as I have with my Big Bang. Sweet.
Also, I forgot about the annual May Day uprising. Well, I'm sure social inequality will still exist next year, and hey, if the economic situation keeps going as it has been, there might be a revolution before that!
