✿ I had a great morning. Due to some work-related rearrangements, I didn't have to leave the house until about an hour later than I usually would. It meant I had time to make stovetop oatmeal, do yoga, read a little, and have a nice long shower before I had to head out the door. This never, ever happens. I'm going to have to be careful not to get used to it, but damn, did I ever enjoy it.
✿ I've been working on a bunch of random things. Some of it fic, some of it part of a silly entry on all of the aRTD pairings I ship, some of it part of a long review of one of Sabaton's albums. For a while there, I could only write on my netbook, but as of a few months ago I've returned to writing everything by hand. It's just more portable. It also means I've been going around with random pages of folded looseleaf in my pockets, but that's not such a bad thing.
✿ Ursula Vernon wrote about writing process at her blog... The tl;dr is that the best way to write is whatever works for you. That's common sense, but sometimes I need to hear it. ... Plus, reading it was neat because she talks about some of her in-progress projects, which all sound really interesting to me. :D But anyway. That "going after a shiny thing and then flitting away to something else, only to return to it later and bang out a ton of words" sounds familiar. I'm going through a stage like that right now, I think, and I've been feeling a little guilty for not working on my big project. So it's nice to hear from someone who also sets things aside (when she's able to).
I really like this part:
If I am suddenly passionate about X or Y or Z, it would be stupid to waste it. I've got plodding determined work ethic coming out my ears, but mad passion is in very limited supply.
... Sometimes I feel that way too.
