I've hardly been able to write anything but poetry for weeks now. Upside: I've been writing something, and hey, might as well work with that medium a little, why not. And in that format, it's easier to pull out something for canons that, for various reasons, I have difficulty writing prose fic for. Lookin' at you, Small Trolls and Year in Hereafter ( Read more... )

Ugh. Camp NaNo starts at the end of next week, and I am SO out of the habit of writing every day. This is going to be interesting. And by interesting I mean mildly failtastic. But oh well ( Read more... )

So, I was reading on the transit, minding my own business, when some guy asks me about my book. Sometimes, this is annoying as hell, but he seemed genuinely interested, so that was all right.

☆ Semi-absence from everything will continue for the foreseeable future because of reasons (mainly it's just that I haven't been feeling well). Thank you for your patience. I might not reply to everything, but I do read everything you guys say/post. It's always nice to see you around ( Read more... )

☆ Wow, is it ever nice out! I'd forgotten how good it feels to be able to wear a normal amount of clothing, rather than winter gear. Went out today with minimal layers and it felt great. SO FREEING. (Of course, this mild weather is not exactly season-typical, and that is worrying, but whatever. I'll enjoy this while it lasts ( Read more... )

☆ I've been spending more time reading than usual. Borrowed way more things from the library than I usually would, completely unintentionally, so I've been using a lot of extra time to do that. It's a nice problem to have, honestly. Tea + books = <3 ( Read more... )
