A strange reluctance...

[paragraphs]

So once again a month has passed without my writing a post, even though I have thought about doing so dozens of times. I am not sure where this reluctance to share my life seeps from...but it is there, and real, and I have become so selfish about my personal experiences, wanting to keep all of it to myself that even when I start to share I stop

I hear what you say about being reluctant to share. I feel a bit similar recently. I kind of want to talk, and want to keep people in. But at the other hand, I'm not sure if I want to talk and if I really want to share. It feels weird, and it results in me posting almost nothing.

But if that's what it is right now, then this is what we do. Right? :-)

And I'm glad to hear that everything is going so well for you with your kids and your job.

That is me! I sometimes compose the post in my head then when it comes time to actually write it down... blow it off.

Everything is going VERY well. :) Had a marvelous vacation with Nick - two weeks of fun in the sun - and things are going nicely here. I'm probably happier in Fort Worth now than I've been in forever.

So glad for the good things!

I'm the same, mostly because I've seen such negative posts about me that I'm thinking that I don't want any of those ugly, awful people to have anything of mine. Not even my words. But this is stupid because that are such in the minority, like why should I hostage myself for .000005% of the LJ population? I don't know why negativity is so much more powerful than it's opposite. Interesting..

Did finally post that pastiche I've been angsting over for the last two years. Finally just bit the bullet and self-published. It's selling okay, much better than I thought. I still need to market, but every second I spend marketing is time I don't spend writing. It sucks.

Glad to hear your time with Nick was so wonderful!

I have learned the hard way that replying to posts via my phone doesn't work. ANYWAY. What I had said, and thought had replied to yesterday, was that first, I bought your book! I have not read it yet but will definitely yell about it when I get going. Am the slowest reader in the world, anymore - only read a bit every day.

People talking snark about you? WTH? Oh my stars people get a life. Seriously. Yeah... hostaging yourself lets them win, in a way...and there is always closed posts. Growl.

Oh long time ago. Since I don't post anymore and the HP fandom is basically dead, it's dried up. But it's the usual shit: OCC characters. Too dramatic. Would she please shut up about LJ and its asshattery already. Hate her stuff. Can't understand why people like it. Which actually I'm okay with except that none of it is every back up with any concrete analysis. It's all just character assassination. The bit about OCC characters cracks me up, because, really. As soon as people start writing slash about completely and obviously hetero characters, then you've lost the battle as far as I am concerned.

Um yeah EVERYTHING is OOC once you yank the characters someone else created into the slash/fanfiction realm. Oh well.

People like that don't deserve your time and energy. Talk about rude. Goodness!
