Jun. 20th, 2006 10:31 amEvery so often I look at fandom in general, and in this case I think it's just Harry Potter fandom in specific, and thank my lucky stars and my sense of self-preservation that I don't get involved in that. It's scary. And vicious. And occasionally just plain crazy.
And then I look at some of the controversies, the political mudslinging, the press activities and everything else in the so-called real world and realize it's pretty much the same in a lot of respects. And then I just want to shoot myself.
Anyway. Today is a day of writing, possibly sewing (tomorrow is definitely a day of sewing) and trying to avoid getting embroiled in the mess of OMGDRAMA! that has penetrated my real life. This drama involves arson, jail, bail, someone in the house possibly being called in to testify, stalkerish behavior, and me being afraid that there will be a knock on the door and someone with a gun on the other side. No, I am not being dramatic, this idea actually haunts me. As for the rest of it, well, it's RL stuff, and I actually don't think I want to publish it here. I'm not sure of all the details. The specific ones.
I have two stories to write, one of them due, though fortunately that's the just-about-finished one that I just need to get off my ass and post. TODAY. Stupid Jag. Novels to write, which slowed down over the last days due to sick. Um. I have a costume to sew, which I will probably do either tonight or tomorrow. We're taking down the big table which I used to cut, so I need to set up a new sewing station somewhere. Still, sewing takes up a lot less room than cutting.
MOMENTOUS DAY: I have decided not to take all ten novels to Maui. Just all ten synopses. I have decided to concentrate on five/six/seven ... a number yet to be determined. The rest, I'll just work on and see how far I get. So there.
Mostly this decision is due to the fact that, dammit, I want to sew and paint again. I haven't been painting in ages, and I miss it.
And that phone has been ringing non-stop, almost, since the drama started. Well, by non-stop I mean mostly once an hour, but still. Bloody hell.
Right. Writing. Actually, right now, showering and eating. And then writing.
