Far from dead (but you wouldn't know it to look at my LJ)...
Have maybe officially decided to forget keeping up with the reading list. If I actually want to keep track of what I've read, I'll start using that Goodreads account I've had forever.
I'm currently doing The Artist's Way with a fantastic group of women. One local to me, the others much longer distance. We're only on week 2 and it's already having an effect. Not so much with my writing, but it's helping me branch out into other creative areas I've always liked and enjoyed, but never let myself believe I could do anything with.
So now I have a PROJECT. Broadly collaborative (with anyone I can drag into it), generally unscripted (but directed) film shorts (currently episodic in conception, due to logistical constraints) in a post-apocalyptic setting. I just created the Youtube channel for it. No, we haven't even started filming. But tomorrow, my partner-in-crime and I are heading out to explore thrift stores for costumes and to hammer out more details.
I may also be getting back into singing...which I haven't really done since high school.
And I'm applying to Clarion West. A 6-week intensive writing workshop in Seattle. Applications go live in a few days. If I don't get in, I have some cons to go to for writing.
Speaking of, the World Fantasy Con was AMAZING.
...This whole day job thing is really starting to get in my way. Even though I'm only part-time...
