More things that are awesome
Yesterday I was in Tall Tree, but it was a (literally) flying visit, up and down in one day, so no updates from there this time. But I do have a few more links that I want to save, and thought I could share them too:
- Letters of Note (correspondence deserving a wider audience);
- Speaking in Tongues by Zadie Smith (fascinating look at voice);

Things that are awesome
I'm in a strange place (figuratively, mentally, in general), so I've been collecting interesting and/or awesome links. In case anyone is interested (and so I can find them again later), here's what I've gathered:

Things I did on my summer vacation
1. Explored the British Museum. A was fascinated by the Egyptian statuary but frightened by the mummies. L was uninterested in the Greeks, but she thought the Samurai costume was cool. D and I were amazed that they lasted as long as they did ( Read more... ) -

Update from Tall Tree (yes, again)

FIC: What We Know (STXI, PG13)
Almost a year ago, I wrote my first story in the STXI fandom, The Things You See and The Way You See Them. This story is a sort-of bookend to that story. It is a "stupid writing experiment" and a character study of Jim Kirk as a leader. It has been incubating for almost six months and it would never have gotten done without the help and ( Read more... ) -

Thoughts I've collected
I've noticed that I tend to post on Thursdays, which is strange because it's one of my busier days, meeting-wise. Go figure.
Here are the thoughts I've collected over the past week or so:
1. I recently received my first comment on AO3 for the only story I've managed to post there, an old Firefly story called The Last Time I Saw Malcolm ( Read more... )
