So....
So, yes, I've basically been missing from LJ for, oh, say, 15 months or so. I'll put it down to the advent of my second child and all the attendant work/lack of sleep, along with a touch of postpartum depression and the feeling that I can never, never, never catch up with all the housework I ought to be doing. My creative juices had run dry, and even if there was a bit of moisture now and then I either never had time to do anything with it or felt utterly guilty frivoling away my time writing.
But I've been feeling better lately. I must be finally getting the hang of this 2 1/2 kids thing.
To top it off, my husband found all the stuff we backed up off my old laptop before it died, and evidently there were pieces of several stories I'd started and he read them. Then he came and found me and told me to start writing again. This was one day before the sshg exchange posted its decision to do another exchange.
The stars aligning the way they are, I am going to sign up again.
There you have it. I hope that my current optimistic mood doesn't evaporate two weeks from now...
