Coming back to Life

[sanginmychains]

I never meant to leave here, exactly, but I did for a bit. I had in my mind I might come back, when I could, when I could, and it never was that time yet. Last week, though, someone recced a piece of mine on her LJ and suddenly my stories got a little action again, and it made me do a little re-reading, a little conversing. I realized that I had

Yeah, that's about my experience of social media. It has its uses...but not as many as people would like to think. Having experimented with a few of them, I think LJ has brought me the most happiness overall. So what's LJ - "here is a story about two donuts getting it on after defeating vampires/aliens/orcs"?

"Alien slash epic crossover donut fic fest themed comp with tie-in artwork on tumblr sign-up post by moderator"...

Missed you!! Glad you're coming back. :oD

[sanginmychains]

Thank you!

Hi darling!

Doing well over here. Aoife's sleep patterns are finally becoming relatively tolerable (LOL).

[sanginmychains]

Just a tiny bit of predictability makes all the difference, doesn't it? I've been quietly keeping up with your publishing - I'm beyond impressed that you're managing to produce anything, let alone "real" (i.e. paid and published) stuff.

How was Ireland?

[heddychaa]

Yes, yes it does. I am finally starting to feel a little bit human again LOL. I have to tell you though, your advice about the 24 hour day and not dividing things by day and night has been emotionally and physically a LIFESAVER.

And thank you! I'm pretty pleased with myself to be doing this sort of thing.

Ireland was amaaaazing. We got to go to Newgrange, which was one of the things I really really wanted to do. I also got to meet cen_sceal!

Hello! *waves* I still hang out in these parts, though in different places. Good to see you're back!

[sanginmychains]

What places are you hanging out in? What's keeping your brain entertained and tickled these days?

[verasteine]

I am utterly immersed in Hawaii Five-0 fandom. Yes, you may judge :).

[shane_mayhem]

I like this.

I just got off a six-month contract as Boatswain on the Hawaiian Chieftain (which is going to be making the trip to Canada again, but I won't be able to go with. SAD.) and now am either a) going to find some stupid job that lets me earn enough money to sort-of live and focus the rest of my time on activism and writing or b) going to apply for school.

Good to see you back! I've started writing a little again, too, and have slapped a few more words on this Torchwood fic I've been working on for, no joke, two years.

[sanginmychains]

I'm the last person who is going to judge you for having a WIP that old. I have a couple pieces that I've never quite given up on, but also never quite managed to get much work done on. I have this AU that ate my brain for a year, but getting words onto paper has been near impossible. But who knows, who knows.

What sort of schooling would you be applying to?

[shane_mayhem]

Wait....I have to know what sort of schooling?

....this is going to be more complicated than I thought. ;)

Seriously, though, I'm either going for my Masters in History (why?), some bullshitty degree in Creative Writing (financial aid to write my novel? Awesome!) or something intense like Conservation Biology.

I really do hope to see more writing from you! I've been mostly hanging out in the Supernatural fandom, but that's because I love TW too much to see what it's become. LOL. I really do hope to get this WIP cranked out, though, because it's kind of my love song to TW.
