argh, Holmestice
So Holmestice signups just opened up.
And... I'm conflicted. I've signed up for Holmestice the last four rounds, and I've had a lot of fun doing it. (I've also become friends with nox_candida after doing a piece for her so yay!)
But I had to drop out of the last round due to what I've taken to calling The Summer of Overcommitment And Things, and currently my plate is looking... oh, the usual. Might be teaching a weekend class on bookbinding, had my abstract accepted into next year's Kzoo conference, need to get another one to submit to the Cultural Studies Association conference, got roped into a committee at work, and of course I've still got a million WIPs and owe fic to a couple of auction winners. (Sometimes I like listing all my obligations because then it almost looks like I have a life.)
And I've not managed to write anything in about a month, which is my longest dry spell in several years.
But... but... HOLMESTICE.
I don't know if having a deadline would spur on writing or just desperation. >_
