Starting Over
It's weird to be writing a blog post again, but here I am, trying. With Twitter deteriorating every day, I've had to think seriously about how I want to communicate and with whom. I don't think I want a Twitter substitute. I want something less protean, that doesn't make me feel pistol-whipped by the day's events. I want stability, more substantial content, relationships. Perhaps I should've curated my Twitter feed differently, but now it feels too late. In any case, coming back to dreamwidth feels a bit like coming home.
Today was a good day. I had therapy, and it was an easy session. I talked about how I've started writing a new book. Given that I've had a form of writer's block for over a year (probably due to a medication I stopped taking about a month ago), my therapist was thrilled for me. And I worked on that novel today. Each day I flesh out a little better the scene I wrote the day before, then I add the dialogue for the next scene. I added about 400 words of dialogue today. Soon I'll have to write an action-y scene, but I haven't thought my way through it yet. It's so early days for this project that I don't even have a working title yet. I just think of it as "the Quinn book," because Quinn is the main character.
Tomorrow I have to write a poem recommendation for Patreon. I'm writing it early so I don't have to think about it over the holiday. We are going to Kansas for Friendsgiving, as has become our tradition. I'm very excited to see RB, Bogi, and Mati!
Will you be having turkey soon? What are your plans?

Your Thanksgiving sounds like a wonderful gathering. It's interesting that your family opts for apple pie over pumpkin or pecan pie. Thanks to RB, we usually get both of the latter. We are none of us vegetarian (anymore), so we will have a kosher turkey. :)
