Most of my writing lately has been random little one-shot flash fics or working on the massive first revision for Invisible Dragons, so when November rolled around and I had to Just Write, it was kind of like riding a bicycle when you haven’t for, oh… a decade or so. But I’ve gotten the hang [...]

I ran across a very interesting post about… well, about talents and one’s goal in life, basically. And it made me think. My first reaction was “oh my gosh YES this is so me!” And then I realized it was about someone’s book that I remembered reading about before and that was a bit of [...]

I really don’t deal well with social interactions. I’m okay if it’s something rote, something I have a pre-learned query/response for: “Excuse me, do you know the time?” “Do you have any change?” “Do you know where is?” Things outside of that, though, make me freeze and retreat into myself and hope desperately the person [...]

In fact, I may have two legitimate disorders. But it’s all just speculation at this point. I still think I likely don’t… which might be silly… anyway! Let us first examine the one termed “Emotional Detachment“, using Wikipedia as a source text. Emotional detachment in the first sense above often arises from psychological trauma and [...]

Due to a forum RP I’ve been participating in, I’ve been thinking a lot about various aspects of social interaction and whatnot lately. Things I am not very good at, have little experience in, and have not spent much time musing over. In the course of said recent musings, however, I realized something interesting about [...]

So I guess I hit a milestone in my interpersonal relationships today. Basically, I now have enough friends (albeit online and living in distant places) that I actually have distinct… ‘groups’, so to speak. And, uh, one of my friends clashed with a member of a group that contains a bunch of other friends. It’s [...]

I was reading through someone’s formspring.me answers (specifically, Tom Siddell, the man who creates the fantastic Gunnerkrigg Court) and came across one dealing with procrastination. I don’t even remember the details of the question now, but the answer was basically “if you’re procrastinating doing something, it can’t be very important”. My first knee-jerk reaction (and [...]

Recently, I asked my mom if she still had a menorah around which she wasn’t using (I assumed she wouldn’t be using it anymore; I don’t think she does Hanukkah since she’s Episcopalian now) and if I could have it. She wondered why, which I found surprising as it seemed slightly obvious to me. “For [...]

For a writer, I have an impossibly difficult time communicating thoughts in casual conversation. Spoken and written. It’s like, you think it’s just other people not understanding you until you realize that it happens all the time, with everyone, and the only common denominator is you. Kind of like that joke about past relationships.

If you happen to follow my blog (or like reading archives), you’ll remember that rant I had about steampunk going mainstream and whatnot and so on, filled with ire and indignant affrontedtry (I do so love making up words). Well, the other day I suddenly realized that I don’t care anymore. It’s not resigned apathy, [...]
