A gentle resolution...
Happy New Year to...well, to anyone who happens to get this message, wherever you are, whatever journal community you're in, and whenever you run across it! My New Year's Resolution, which I intend to enforce on myself with gentle determination, is to accept the fact that writing (Snarry now, perhaps someday original fiction) is simply what I do now, with any energy left after family and job are taken care of. The appeal of Snarry baffles and frustrates me but I don't seem to be able to pull away from it, so I've decided just to give in, and try not to beat myself up over it anymore. My DH is supportive (and learning that was the most astonishing event of 2011), and I've told my closest RL friend about it and she hasn't disowned me yet, so what else is there to hold me back?
Part of accepting all this is allowing myself to be more immersed in the Snarry community. I'm not the most sociable person in RL, but lately that's been because I can't talk about what I'm mostly thinking about, which is writing. So, duh, I should be making more of an effort to connect with the people I can talk writing with, don't you think? I'm not always comfortable laying out what I'm thinking in a nonfiction format--I much prefer working things into a story, so that they're kind of separated from me by a few layers--but I'm going to try. Be gentle with me in return, if you can...
I'm going to be posting on DW because it allows cross-posting to IJ and LJ (and forgive my cluelessness if the others allow it and I just couldn't figure it out). I've tried to consolidate friends there, by adding feeds from IJ and LJ when necessary, and I've tried very hard not to miss anyone. Please don't hesitate to leave comments, to add me as a friend if you don't know me yet, or to private message me anytime.
Best wishes to all for a healthy, productive and happy 2012, and I look forward to sharing stories and more with all of you.
