feldmanMy thanks for the gift of paid time! It's an encouragement to get back into the journaling habit now that I have time to think and write again.
I've been writing fiction, if one can call opening an old file, editing 5k words, adding another 1k and actually having an idea where it may go for a change 'writing'--which I absolutely do, as it's more than I've accomplished on that score for more than a year.
Could be decent. Could be dreck. I'm embracing the idea of the shitty first draft this year, so I'm practicing the discipline of withholding judgment until I finish the damned thing. To spite me, another story is now scratching at the door to come out of the rain and into Schroedinger's box. The spouse keeps pushing the idea that I should find a writer's group out here, but I'm hesitant to dip into the pool of random stranger critique when I've only just now reached a delicate detente with my own brain in getting this stuff on the page to begin with.
I may post a bit here on a filter, if anyone would like a peek, just drop a note here and I'll add you. I trust fic writers to give thoughtful critique; the beta tradition of our society, the relatively non-hierarchical mentorship and playful remix ideals of this culture feel like safe spaces.
In other news my ancient fic website was deleted with our old cable subscription, which means I should probably dust off that AO3 invite and figure it out.
