The Muse Calls

[sensiblecat]

My Muse was working overtime this week. Normally I struggle to do a chapter of my long fic. This week I wrote FIVE - yes FIVE - one shots as well. I know the reasons. Main one - my DH is away. It's not that he actually minds me writing, just that I feel terribly self-conscious doing it. My kids' lives tend to revolve around staring at screens

I felt very similar to how you described feeling last year. I was missing my grandmother terribly, I wasn't able to cope with the holidays very well, and yet I knew that I didn't want to just lay down and die because I would miss the Christmas special. How completely geeky is that? I've started and stopped a half dozen letters to David Tennant, but I think that's bordering on crazy, so they'll probably never be sent.

Also, did you receive the email I sent to you with my address? I wasn't sure, because the email I had for your previously wasn't the one you put down on my card post, and I wanted to make sure I didn't goof up somewhere.

I hope you are feeling better... the flu bug has been really horrible around here, and the people who have it seem to be feeling completely nasty.

I didn't get your email, I'm afraid. Might be because I've reluctantly let go of the sensiblecat domain - I just couldn't justify the steep registration fee. But you can definitely reach me on ruth@waterton.name . I'd like to hear from you!

That is strange, because I sent my email to that exact address. The one I had for you before was a gmail address? I will give it another try in a few moments - alas, I don't remember exactly what I wrote before, but I'm sure I'll come up with something.

When the muse hits, go with it!!

My biggest muse problem is the Chibi's. Wouldn't you know it, someone had to suggest () a link to Hug Day Fandom...who can resist?

Never tried writing in bed yet, as I only have desktop computers and the bed is not that big yet, although they both sit at the foot of it.

And as for watching...yes, it's a private thing, especially if one has to pause to explain it to the unbelievers. Luckily I converted my son into a DW fan, and he is still of the mind I'm cool, at nineteen I'll take that as a compliment :)

Ok, gotta ask.....will you share a recipe for your mincemeat pie? I'm too curious for my own good, and it wasn't until The Seeker, I realized that mincemeat is a fruit? Am I dense, or as you'd say, daft :)

[sensiblecat]

Mincemeat....actually I Googled it because I've always wondered why it was called that. It's one of those recipes that varies in every household - there's a good one here: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Mincemeat_Tart... )

I'm a bit scared of googling some days, I believe that was the two times last year that folks actually complained about the cookies...I had tried a Scottish Shortbread at random, talk about bleah! So, normally I prefer folks I know recommendations.

Thank you, I am going to try this, especially since the baking season is upon me!

Who can resist, the music, the lights, the claymation shows on tv and a warm kitchen!

I wish I could time it so I felt like writing when I've got time alone. It doesn't seem to work like that for me!

Good for you! I know I do my best work when everyone else is in bed.

Me too, trouble is you still have to get up and handle RL next day, dontcha?
