die_traumerei

hello i ate something very bad and learned this fact while on a bike ride this morning. it was bad. So we get this while I see if the applesauce I had for lunch works its way through my digestive system in the expected manner!

Writing:

I thought this would be depressing, then yesterday happened! It’s been a weird, exhausting week, but I did get a few sentences knocked out over time, and yesterday I got some chunks done on a lot.

A Winter Spirit: Ugh, I’m sorry I don’t have an update to publish this week but I promise they are in the middle of a kind of sex scene (?) and it will be worth it.

Yet Needed Most chapter: Noodled around some more. We’ll see how this goes.

Unnamed trope-o-rama: I wrote a loooong conversation and don’t know how much I like it, but so far so good. These two can’t keep their hands off of each other, it appears. I have some source material for themes that I want to go back to, and then I think I’ll return to this.

Reading: I finished Chaos, a collection of stories by Edmund White. He’s a grande dame of gay lit of a certain era, and when he’s good, he’s very, very good. (The first story is very, very good.) When he’s bad, he’s dull as hell. By the end of the collection the endless repetition of the archetype of self-loathing gay man of a certain age had gotten quite old. I do want to look up some of his other work, though.

I also read basically all the back issues of Paper Girls, which is AWESOME and I am excited about it.
