state of the writing
I haven't been posting much about writing, because when health allows me to write I'm not spending that bit of time on lj. So normally when I post, I'm trying not to dwell on not being up to writing.
But today, I am reminded that life is short, and feeling grotty is no good reason to waste it.
So, taking seajules as inspiration again, I'm putting up an accounting post:
Things out: 8
Poetry: 6 (including two just sent into the GF/MD crossover vortex)
Short fiction: 2
Things to finish: 2
Both short fiction
(The novel being on pause till the diss is done. The diss needs to be finished too, but is out of frame here.)
Things to start: 1
Short fiction
So, so, I am not up to writing, perhaps, but surely I'm up to reading some of the things I need to have read to finish these stories. So off I go to read fairy tales & folklore from India and from Ecuador.
