It's Quiet . . . A Little Too Quiet
It's been almost a month since my last update.
I would love to update and say that I've been writing furiously on my story for crossbigbang, but that wouldn't be the truth. I have tried, I mean, really really tried, but I'm stuck somewhere in Chapter Five and Six and don't quite know how to get myself going again. Not from lack of trying, simply from lack of interest or motivation. I read the story, and the characters are not singing to me the way they used to. The story is not keeping me awake at night, or talking to me in the shower, or creeping up on me when I'm driving in my car.
I am, however, writing. After a fashion. I've joined a new RP. It's a MUX (Please don't ask. I don't know why it's a MUX and not a MUSH or a MUD or a MOO. I'm just happy to figure out the interface - woefully slowly - and being doing some interactive type of RP.) It's not officially open yet, and when it is, it will probably be invitation or audition-only, so I'm not going to link the URL just yet. I'm getting additional writing outside of the MUX by posting blogs and "off-screen" scenes, which is where I've been flexing my writing muscle. I'll likely post those over on
fantasy_echoes over the next few days.
In other news, The Big 4-0 came and went just as all birthdays do. I'm not the sort of person who's going to break into tears because I'm 40 and I haven't accomplished the goals I set for myself at 18 (or 25). I'm 40, I'm alive, I'm healthy, I'm employed and in this day and age all of that is saying a lot and should be appreciated. And I do appreciate it all.
