Friday, March 08, 2002The light in my room is blue, from my computer and from the dusk outside. I want to write abut it, but can think of no good place to do so, and remember, suddenly, that I have this, here, and I haven’t updated it in a shameful age. What have I been up to? Well, I’ve been writing my book - I think I’ll be done (everyone, all together now) by the end of the month. (I’ve been saying this for some time, you may gather, and you would be right.) I am now a moderator at www.fictionaddiction.net. I like it very much, but it makes me nervous. It’s under my own name, for one thing. I like the idea of being able to slink off if I think I’ve made a mistake, disappear for awhile, then come back. I don’t have that recourse, here - not only is it sort of my “job” to make lots and lots of replies, create new posts, conduct a bi monthly chat...but people know me. True, in a sense, they don’t know me any better through this name than they do my web nome de plume, but still...it feels like you have more to loose....what’s the cure for that, you ask? Well, I suppose it would be to make sure you don’t say anything to be ashamed of, then not give a darn if someone doesn’t like it. Ooh....moderation positions as therapy. I like. I can feel spring coming. Today I walked out and saw that my tulips are starting to come up. I love tulips...I don’t know why. They are, in so many ways, quite plainer than most flowers. Not as towering as gladiolus, not many petaled and romantic like roses. They just are, perfect cups of color, the breaking of a long winter’s fast. I need to do a ton of work on my web pages. If my isp doesn’t drive me mad, (I keep getting my connection dropped....) I intend to get a lot of it done this week end...and I intend to update this journal more. I have no idea if anyone is reading it....but, like anyone who has one, I kind of like the thought of writing this dumb observations down, and having someone run across them and go, “Oh, yea, I know exactly what you mean.” Smart journaling tip of the day: Write your entry off line, then cut and paste. Makes life so much easier, and you can spell check it, too. Permalink Cindy scribed this at 6:52 PM 0 comments |
