It is a very blah and rainy day.
Apr. 22nd, 2011 05:51 pmAnd I am not getting very much done, possibly as a result. Yesterday's sandwich was a smash hit, so today I made the very same sandwich, except instead of horseradish I used dill, and added more salt (too much, as it turns out, but it was still damn tasty. Just... salty). Tomorrow I think I will live on the edge and use both dill AND horseradish.
My life. How exciting it is.
This is why, before I started blogging heavily about writing, I had nearly abandoned this journal altogether. Most of the excitement in my life that is easily translatable to text occurs only within the confines of my skull. I mean, I could also make a post a day about the little happinesses of my marriage, but I assume they would get boring to anyone who is not married to me, and therefore I tend to cut out the middleman and just tell them all directly to Megan. I could talk about gaming with my friends, but it would take a fair amount of work to go back to the beginning of each campaign, introduce each character, each player, etc. etc. ... I may try to do that with future games, however.
Oh, blogosphere. I owe you about twenty book reviews, most of them glowing. I owe you a chapter of The Hellion Prince within the next eight days. I owe you... no. I want to give you fireworks and shooting stars and roller coasters, drama and passion and the electricity of human tension. I want to make you think, and make you feel, and by God make you talk to me about it, because I crave your attention, focused here on my little e-soapbox. I want to do this because you do it for me, and I want to return the favor. I am grateful for the way each and every one of you has at some point transported me from a life of routine and penury and stress and delivered me into a transcendent realm of heroism and interconnectivity and ideas for my next twelve and a half novels.
And I want to ramble at you some more, on rainy days like this, when these are the only words that come pouring out of my fingertips.
