So… In Other Unrelated Confessional News

[scribblemyname]

I have loved being off of Twitter. I’m not sure I’m going to really do a lot on it besides reenable crossposting when I’m ready. I love not worrying about it, not getting distracted by it, though I’ve found a lot of people and learned a lot from it. I guess that makes me a

Social Media Dropout

Oh, well.

I also have temporarily reneged on further work on the Ficlet o’Clock pieces—and my Heinlein Challenge work. NaNo is enough for me and I’ve pretty much settled on the lite version of 800 words a day. I just have too much else going on right now to do otherwise. I guess that makes me a

Realistic Non-Overachiever

I’ve been an Unrealistic Overachiever for enough of my life to breathe a sigh of relief at the change.

In Other News…

Gone Hunting, the collection, and a bunch of shorts have been ready to put into print for a while now, but I haven’t had time to wrap up the formatting and mess of getting them published. In a way that bothers me because nothing new is entering the pipeline to turn into an income stream. But I cannot tell you how much I desparately would like to finish. writing. a. novella. Seriously.

Unrelated Skippable Political Note

And I voted. Early. It bothers me a lot to hear photo ID is supposed to suppress voting. It bothers me more to hear people talking about this effort to stop Democratic voters and steal the election through measures against “nonexistent voter fraud.” I say this as an independent with conservative leanings. Why? Because both parties have perpetrated voter fraud in their long and mixed-bag history. Both parties are preparing to battle this out legally if they don’t get their way. Claiming that everything wrong with voting is due to Republican conspiracy is partisan, just like it was when Republicans claimed the same of Democrats last cycle.

Please, just vote. Vote for the candidate you believe in and the path you want America to take. But please stop bashing each other. Please?

What’s on your docket?

I dropped Twitter for a year once. It was great. Then Michael Trucco got an account and that was that. Yeah, I'm transparent! I'm a bad twitter user, though. I... have a bunch of people muted, because I just don't have the patience to read that much trivia on any given day. I only ever skim it, to be honest, with the exception of a very small handful of people.

My other news. Let's see. I signed on for Yuletide again, which is feeling very strange to me because I've been writing hard on original stuff and have written zero fanfic since ineedmyfics. For the original work I have a self-imposed goal of between 1500-2000 words a day. I'm not doing NaNo because I don't want to. I want to write in my own way and on my own schedule. If you ever want to read, let me know.

We're going to California next week. I'm going to still try to write every day while we're there, but maybe not as much. I want to take full advantage of staying at the beach. Until we go to L.A., then it'll be a different scene altogether.

I miss doing fanwork sometime, and believe you me, after trying to shoehorn in a NaNo, I will be wanting to read your stuff. I'm going to have a very readerly December.

Love the icon. It so makes me think of Denny.

And fun, fun, fun going to CA. I hope all goes well and your days are the best. We're planning a trip to San Antonio in February and I'm so excited. I don't travel half enough. Take pictures!

Denny says it's his sworn duty to keep both his own skinny ass & Tom's away from those killer waves at Mavericks. It's in the story and everything.

At this rate I might be almost done by December, so you'll have plenty to read.

I promise to take pictures! I won't go to the beach (or Disneyland, okay, I fess up) without my camera. Have fun writing! I always figure that's the most important thing about it.
