Better Late Than Never
Because I am endlessly curious about other writers and their creative processes, my weekly post over at the Midnight Hour is about how I visualize. I want to hear from other writers about this, so if you can pop on over and drop a comment I’d appreciate it.
Today is just getting started for me, at six PM. This is the first time today I’ve felt fully awake, and I suppose my entire body clock was thrown off by Seattle and by last night’s insomnia. (Don’t ask. You don’t want to know.) Plus I’m a little worried about some personal stuff, but the most intense worry stands a good chance of fading soon.
The thing about internet stalkers and trolls is, they don’t realize what a huge footprint they leave behind every time they stalk/flame you. And that electronic trail of footprints is like wabbit twacks in old Elmer Fudd cartoons–they lead right down the wabbit hole. They’re proof, as The Lawyer pointed out, and proof is a Good Thing.
So that eases my mind. But still.
I’ve also been under siege by the cats today. They want to be in my lap, petted and stroked, and will fight the kids for it. The Princess isn’t so needy–she just wants a day off from the grind of schoolwork (which, since we’ve upped her grade level, is actual WORK now and not play) but the Prince has missed me, and takes every opportunity to climb into the papasan and rest his feet right in my lower back.
Thanks, kid. Heh.
In any case, I’m heading for a weekend that will be Full Of Interesting Things. I’ve got a book I need to proof, and I can feel myself gearing up for another burst. I think the second Steelflower book is about ready. She’s elbowing with Tristan to get her way out, which will make me a Very Confused Writer for the foreseeable future.
But hey, that’s what we live for, eh?
Ah, and for readers of the Keeper books: thank you. I’ve received several of your emails over the last few days, and I thank you for the support as well as for the kind words. They’re not very good books technically, I think, but I like them and I’m glad that you guys seem to like them too. I had no idea so many people would want to read them. *boggle* But thank you, thank you for the support. It means so much to me.
And before I get misty-eyed, I’m going to go eat some Chinese food and start the weekend right.
By folding laundry. A huge mound of it.
*sigh* I’ll just keep repeating, “I’m making order out of chaos. Making order out of chaos.” It’ll be a mantra.
And that will have to be enough.
