selenaySo, uh, there haven't been many posts here lately *watches tumbleweed roll by*
Like, for the last month. No posts here. Oops?
This is partially (largely) because it's much easier to merrily post silly comments and reblog gifs on Tumblr than it is to actually construct a text post for a journal. I'm actively contributing to the fannish exodus from LJ/DW, it turns out.
This is also because every time I sit down to write a post, my mind goes blank on what to write about. I mean, my daily life doesn't seem that thrilling to record. Most of my fannish reaction squee for Agents of Shield and Thor 2 has been conducted via Twitter and some massive (truely, MASSIVE) email threads with other fannish people. Sometimes it's on Tumblr, but that's not really a good lengthy text discussion forum.
Which is my way of saying, sorry for the lack of anything approaching an update. I aten't dead.
And the next few weeks may also be light on the updating because I'm NaNo-ing. Rebelling and not actually writing a novel (working on a couple of fanfic pieces instead) and only vaguely hoping for 50k while expecting to be closer to 30k, but still. NaNoWriMo. I am frantically writing every evening and then collapsing into a puddle in front of the TV when my brain turns off.
Scarily, I'm also doing research for some other projects. I've got a rough outline for an original novel. And I'd like to pull apart my steampunk AU, extract all the bits that I think can be extracted, and rewrite it as an original novel. So I'm doing a lot of research into Edwardian England and related subjects in preparation for attempting one (or perhaps two) original novels next year. Both are Edwardian steampunk, so the research is good for both :-D
And thus, it may be that my updates here continue to be sporadic. Possibly there might be wailing when I start writing one of the novels. I may hold a party when my mother finally departs for England.
I may try to write something appropriate to the Doctor Who anniversary. But then again, I may be too busy watching the Doctor Who marathon (all day, commercial free, DO YOU KNOW HOW RARE THAT IS OVER HERE?) and anniversary special and rolling around in the beautiful wonder they're giving me as a birthday present.
And also, actual birthday presents. I'm treating myself to a new iPod Touch.
So, you know, don't actually *count* on there being a Doctor Who post. But assume I'm squeeing if there isn't one :-D
