Excited you're back! Seeing you'd posted really cheered me up on an otherwise average day, I've missed the sarcastic comments and science stories ☺️

Welcome back, and don't be hard on yourself. I'm not a writer, but I just read a tumbler comment by Neil Gaiman on the subject of writer's block. He says that he goes and rereads favorite books, by other authors, that are set in another place and time, ones that he knows end in a good place for the characters. And he tries to not put any pressure on himself, even if the first, second or third books don't work.

Neil Gaiman is a smarter person than I am. I just bury myself in ALL THE FIC and hope I don't have to come up for air.

Glad you've gotten over your writer's block!

Welcome back. We've missed you. How've you been? Anything fun happen at work recently?

[loaded_march]

Good, and there have been no murders, so... no. Nothing fun.

How about you?

[loubmila]

Well, work is okay but one of my bosses is going on a camping holiday. This is a note in his calendar "but stuff for camp, eggs, bread" I'm hoping that's a typo but what happens at camp stays at camp, right?

Welcome back!

Sometimes you've got to take some time to recharge the creative batteries.

Feels like it took forever this time...
