And almost no email notifications and I didn't mean to completely not notice what my flist was talking about at all. :headdesk:

I hate dreamwidth.

Yesterday and today were insane. I'm going to finish my letter tomorrow.

So had to sleep after work yesterday and accidentally slept almost until noon. Catch up will be happening.

I ficced, I commented, I posted, and now I'm exhausted and I'm still inventing new angles to try to tackle this heroinebigbang draft that will not be written.

If you don't hear from me until the 30th, know that I'm working on this story.

:shakes head at Cate:

So my Do Now folder in my email is down to 9 read messages. I've finished a beta, replied, read, commented, and did not reply where train gone. Sorry for the time out sick. Still hopping at work but no more overtime all the time.

I won't be signing up for the WIP Big Bang though I really wanted to because I have officially hit overextended and cannot extend more if I know what's good for me. I'm just tired enough right now to enforce that.

Still not doing hot in the throat department (or energy) but I can force myself to function and I can think enough to start creating again. I'm a little behind on that, but there are plans.

So that's the update. Hope you all are doing fabulous. :blows kisses:

1. I realized I'm still out of habit of posting to my regular blog. Oops.


2. I'm a third of the way through my beta and trying not to panic because waaaaay down to the wire on my exchange fic.


3. My two jobs have gone crazy hectic and I'm exhausted because of overtime.


4. Nevertheless, accidentally wrote a poem today:

Walk gently into the woods
Don’t startle the deer
Their antlers are green and growing—
Pointed, sharp
Be careful under the trees
Don't startle the birds
With their talons and black feathers
And bright eyes

Come with me by the path
That wends its way
Through thickets, thorny hedges
Over the stream
Be careful over the bridge
It has been years
Since boots that walked here once
Now walk again

See you all (and talk to you all and reply to your comments and messages and agh! I'm so behind) soon I hope.

See y'all tomorrow.

When my world goes to pieces, I tend to read fanfiction. My own. Seriously. I do need to finish some of this stuff.

I've been sick. More sick than I've ever been but once in my life. I'm probably going to be dropping most, if not all, of fandom creating for a few weeks while I try to yank my life back into some sort of order. Not much writing. Today, I'm curled up with potato soup, internet reads, and an ex-employer phone call hanging over my head.

Read "Models" by Kris Rusch
Haunting, tragic, and yet such an important message too

Am catching up on Starwalker
Love this feisty little ship!

So...

1. I'm on the pretty list for femgenficathon! Though I admit I probably won't sign up for it again.


2. I got another review reminding me that, of all my fics, Son o' de Guild is the best, and I really ought to continue it. Promise to self: I will.


3. I've got enough work to do today to fill a week.


4. If I'm a bad girl, I'll probably squeeze fandom in anyway.


5. 52: Full Deck is finally drafted! This is a story of 52 words for the meaning of each card in a deck, and I've been working on it for far too long. It's off to beta with heavenmetal.


6. I really do need to get started on my Roswell/X-Men Movieverse crossover.


7. I decided that if a nice good fic exchange comes up that's still taking fandom signups, I want a crossover of the Secret Garden and Little Princess movies with Colin/Sarah and Mary/Dickon, grown up of course.


8. More about what face I want to give my readers. I'm reading up as I plot my launch of Liana Mir.


9. By the way, I am now totally in love with nori wraps.
