So I wrote a book
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... ) -
Just checking in, mostly about writing things b/c I don't want to think about the other things...
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... ) -
Just a dark place
I remember sharing with firebunny during my last visit to PA, I think, that I thought humanity would die out through not reproducing, what with the Zika virus.
I still think it's possible that this virus is not something to overcome, but is really the earth's way of rejecting us as a species. Mosquito season might be over where I live (for now), but it's ( Read more... ) -
Just so I'm not all about the doom and gloom...
I was so caught up being sick, then busy, then miserable, that I forgot to keep up with posting more. And I don't, at this moment, want to talk about the cancer stuff, so how about other things?
Firebunny, legendarytobes, and I did meet in Philly. We ate, then we drank, then we ate again. I have this thing right now where I'm searching for some kind of mythically ( Read more... ) -
I'm just going to dump some emotions
My Aunt Eileen has lung cancer and the timeline they are giving her so far is not good. I am having a lot of trouble dealing with this for many reasons ( Read more... ) -
Stepping back and thinking of how this came to be
Marikology challenged me to write every day for Nano. I know I'm eleven days in, but I've been on vacay, so it's been hard to keep consistent with anything. It was just a wonderful idea, picking election season as my vacation time! Honestly, there wasn't much alternative since that was just where my gig-light weeks fell, but it was a terrible realisation ( Read more... ) -
It's that time of year again!
I know, I know. I never post here anymore. I keep swearing to do better then end up being my usual wildly inconsistent self. If it helps, I've been archiving and even updating fic again after my long hiatus. I'm working on it between other projects and will, hopefully, have one finished soon before moving onto the next ( Read more... ) -
Balance and writing
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... ) -
Opening myself up to Tori and to accepting that Renee is gone... finally
Even though Tori Amos has been kind of a touchstone for me since I was an awkward teen, I've been pretty much unable to listen to Tori since Renee left us because all it does is remind me of Renee and how Tori's music was something we shared and loved together. But I'm trying to open myself up to Tori again and, in listening, I came across a song. ( Read more... )
