[Personal]
[personal] Updatery
Yesterday was tough, fatigue wise. Powered through a fairly stressful nine hours at the Day Jobbe, then pretty much collapsed. I tried to write, but it was one of my off days. So I did critique instead.
Fireside this afternoon, and I have a lot to do there. Iron Springs retreat this weekend.
Meanwhile, consider this an open question post. Ask me anything — writing, parenting, cancer, personal background, whatever. I’ll answer as I see fit, when time permits.

June 24th, 2008 at 7:40 amTaking the bait.. and I’ll choose ‘writing’ because it’s preoccupying my own mind today, with the question being: Are you ever afraid to do it? Say you get an idea, mind ruminates on it, builds a whole world over a few days until it’s clearer than your own memories… and find yourself hesitating to touch the keys or lift the pen?

June 24th, 2008 at 7:52 amI’d like to say I’m not afraid, but sometimes I am. Over time I’ve found the fear-inspiring ideas are sometimes the very best.
Sometimes, though, I am just having a bad day.
