My, my! I seem to be slacking off in the blogging department. I went from a blog or two a day to actually maintaining silence for more than 24 hours. I mean, I've been sick... But still.
I'm doing the writing nerd's version of farting around, and I started writing a traditional fantasy thing with Rarity. I'm calling it Gemfire, for lack of a better title. If I ever get around to sharing it, I'll likely just post it on my blog. It's a mess, really. Basically a freewrite with no notes or planning whatsoever. I'm just goofing off. Trying to keep my writing skills loose and limber while my energy level goes up and down. The beginning of every month is tough on me for various reasons. The cold is mostly gone, but my body still doesn't feel %100. Haven't touched the latest chapter for What They Expect to Give because... I can't explain it all to you guys. Or I suppose I can, but I guess I'd rather not. Just a small tidbit, though: my eyes and upper cheeks are red, swollen, burning, and itching. Acute eczema of which the remedy is equally uncomfortable. I had to go shopping today because we had no meat, and I wore sunglasses the whole time, wincing in the sun. Before you suggest it: I've already seen a dermatologist. They gave me super expensive ointment that I hate using because it's super expensive and actually makes me feel worse (if only for just a few days... Unlike the OTC stuff, the medical ointment actually heals my skin.)
So yeah. No. I don't feel much like serious writing. I barely feel like not-serious writing, but I'm doing it because I believe in keeping the old cognitive gears greased. Mostly, I just want to lay down, close my eyes, and keep a cold pack on my face while listening to angry and angsty music of various genres.
I suppose that's why I haven't been blogging much. I hate doing whiny, moody, dramatic posts too frequently.
