The Artist's Way - Week Four, Latter End
One of the things about not listening to music for a week, is that starting about two days in, any strains of produced music I hear are GLORIOUS.
It's very weird.
Next week I think I will do the completely-no-reading version. So I may be extending my ignoring-the-f-list discipline a little more, though I HAVE been checking by...well, basically, by those of y'all who actually COMMENT on my posts, say.

One of the things I got up ready to do today was attack an ancient history to-do...
And I discovered this quilt that I lost steam on and kept not getting back to...was actually turning out ugly.
But I was hoping it might not be...but I also didn't have the energy to rethink it all. Tearing the blocks apart now, because I totally can do better, and some of the fabric is just a fat-quarter's worth.
Besides, the blocks will still work, it's the combo of what colors were going where in my sort of complicated scheme to unite the four elements that didn't.
My color theory has got a lot more no-nonsense in the many spinning hours I've put in sense then. (Not to say there aren't mistakes, but I DO know when I'm taking a risk, and I DO know what is going to work most of the time.)

Also, rhinemouse, you know that Nemesis-world novella I was promising you?
I think it's actually going to be able to be converted into a follow-up novel.
I am kind of hoping this will fill my feeling of not being ready to write something completely new but still being game for some serious editing.
And it is already so much better as a novel...
