Honest I'm alive

I have 7 days left, including today, until NaNoWriMo kicks off, and the idea of writing makes me feel tired and headachey. I am going to do it, though, just to prove that you can write even when you really, really don't want to.

No, I don't know why. Even blogging is making me feel tired, which is a massive change from what I used to be. Even now I'm here, I can't imagine not loving writing, so there's definitely something weird going on. I still have stories, they're just played out in RP, and it's not like I'm totally down because everything is awesome. It's just writing. Weird.

So I'm going to reread Just A Mistake and see if I can work out where I was going with it, then go there.

Writing is funny in how phase-y it can be. Maybe try switching from computer-type device to paper and see if that helps? Sometimes it's device burnout that is the cause for ennui.

Did you go places and have adventures?

I hand wrote my novel last year, and I'm just about getting over the cramp from it. It was a fun adventure, but ouch that hurt. I think it's more general burnout at the moment. I'm too busy and just keep getting busier. Lines like "Are we having a Secret Santa this year... I'll rephrase that, am I organising a Secret Santa this year?" have been uttered

And yes, I had lots of adventures. I couldn't believe I hadn't posted since before I went off to Asia. Definite update post requirements, because so much has happened. There's photos and everything.

How are you? It's been a really, really long time and I totally dropped out of the loop and failed at keeping in touch :(

Yeah. Last time you posted you were off for your forty day east Asian tour.

Me? Much the same. A few less cats. A few more fish. (Okay, a lot more fish). A modest iguana encounter in Aruba. Some stories written.

It's pretty quiet around livejournal these days, so having you return to the fold would be very welcome!

I really need to do a very big update. I have some awesome stories and news and all sorts. Like, I have a job these days, which is so weird.

I want to hear about the iguana in Aruba, that sounds epic. And I do have a lot of stories to catch up on

Here is the Aruba entries. It wasn't an EPIC trip. I went to an all inclusive resort for five days and mostly sat on a sun lounger, drank blender drinks and wrote fanfic. (Yeah, I know. But I'd started this New Team Torchwood/Sherlock story and I hate stopping when I'm in the middle of things.) The iguanas were everywhere, so I made friends with several of them.
