Temporary Absence

It’s not as if I haven’t gone a month without posting before…but this time I have a good reason: National Novel-Writing Month! This is going to be a huge challenge for me — not so much the challenge of writing at least 1,666 words per day to reach the 50,000-word goal, but the challenge of plotting out a novel-length story, creating characters, and so forth. (Fiction has never been my strong suit.)

At any rate, I’ll be back in December. Have a good month.

A Brief Hiatus

I recently came to the conclusion that I have way too many projects in my life. I sat down and wrote out a list of all the different things I’m working on or want to be working on in the near future, and came up with about twenty or twenty-five different projects. I then began checking off the things that I feel I most want to do, the things I really wouldn’t be happy giving up or putting off any longer. One of the things that I immediately checked off was this blog, but I quickly realized that at least for the month of April, I wasn’t really going to be able to devote any significant amount of time to writing on here.

That’s because one of the other items on my “definitely must do” list is Script Frenzy, a month-long challenge in which participants write a hundred-page screenplay. (Yes, that’s right—one hundred pages in one month.) My day job has recently become abnormally stressful, as well, which leads me to think that I really can’t commit to more than one writing project outside of it.

So I might sneak a little time here and there to add a post or an update on here, but just so the folks who regularly read this blog are aware, April’s probably going to be a very light month for my writing here. I’ll be back in May, hopefully with my first screenplay under my belt…

The Irony of Making Sex into a Project

Three more days until the Anarchist Bookfair and the Anarkink party. I have been working my ass off this week, trying to design, print, and copy several different zines to have available. Yesterday, I made buttons. (One with a blue/black star and one with the leather flag and a circle A…yes, I’m a total dork…) Today, I’m sneaking time at work to assemble some things for my own zine. (Which I will then have to design, print, and copy as well…) Tomorrow, I will go buy party supplies. Friday, I probably won’t sleep at all because of nerves.

I’ve spent the last week and a half totally immersed in sex zines and preparation for a kink-themed party. And I think my partner and I have managed to have sex once. Does that seem right to you?
