I know I haven't posted much -- Well, that's an understatement. After the last time I posted, way back in July, about five days after, my aunt passed away. At some point, I might want to vent about the way it's changed my life for the worse, but I've been holing up with this grief for so long now that I just want to focus on what's good in my life ( Read more... )

So I know I haven't been around lately. I'd say it was because LJ is like a ghost town compared to the heydays (which it is), but that's no excuse because I have a Twitter and Facebook and they barely see any action either.

That's not completely true. I have been playing with Facebook's live feature to stream myself singing when I have public gigs ( ( Read more... )

So remember how I keep saying I'm going to finish my fics, then I don't? I hope that's going to stop over this summer. I've decided to try to find some balance and scale back on certain things to make time for things I should be enjoying. For some time, writing has been less than enjoyable for me. I like it once I get in there, but I put it off ( Read more... )

Interesting bit of beef between George R.R. Martin and John C. Wright relating to Puppygate:

legendarytobes, you might find this interesting.

Team GRRM, especially since Wright has a history of awful author behavior:

So I have a plan for the remainder of spring. I want to get fit and, knowing I'm not much of a self-starter, I've decided to bribe myself with a marriage of entertainment and torture ( Read more... )

I keep abondoning LJ and then returning, but I've now added it to my productivity app, so it's for realz now (Habitica. Join it. I don't do the RPG aspect, but I love the interface and the fact that I gain/lose gold and silver based on whether I achieve the things I put on my list... and dressing up my character and giving her pets. <3 ( Read more... )

So. It's been a while and there are lots and lots of reasons for that. But first, I have important business ( Read more... )

So I've been avoiding LJ like crazy because life has got me so behind on everything that I barely know where to start ( Read more... )

Nowhere special. I feel like, every time I post since the summer, I'm apologizing for not posting or not writing fic. This has just been a strange and busy year. First, I've been spending more time at Uncle MIke's, just cooking or doing laundry, reorganizing things or just hanging. It's one of my resolutions, just trying to take the load off him ( Read more... )

Even though I tweet-ranted a bunch, I'm still all full of outrage!

So marikology sent me this article: Am I being Catfished? An author confronts her number one online critic.And I just shook my head at the crazy, hoped (should I ever, you know, finish and publish) I don't do what that author did and was ready to move on when I felt bothered by the author ( Read more... )
