daidoji_giseiI have a lot of things that I wanted to get done yesterday, and accomplished almost none of them. There were reasons for this, some good and some less good. One of them was that it was about 100 degrees here, and I don't have air conditioning--this kinda saps my will to be energetic. Also, I got my computer back Thursday night and now have been able to email and write at home again.
A lot of Saturday was thus spent reading online things that I'd sadly lost touch with. Brent had posted the last Third Station story at Kyuden Ryu, and I hadn't even known about it until Friday. (KR is my homepage on my home computer, which meant that I never remember to check it at work. Don't ask me why.) It was a very good story--I was on the edge of tears at the end of it, and I pride myself on my ability not to cry. If you are into L5R and like to read fanfic I really suggest that you go and check out Brent's stories--he's quite amazing. (If only he'd let me proofread....) He's also prolific, so if you need pointers on where to start drop me a line here and I'll be happy to advise.
I also spent some time getting my brain back into ACH. I'm rereading all of the stuff previous to 13 (still need title!) and thinking about what needs to happen now. I also uploaded and emailed the current partial draft of 13 to myself, so that if something new goes wrong I have something to fall back on. Once burned, twice shy they say.
I'd like to get some writing done today, but there's so much to do. I have two pounds of hamburger and three pounds of chicken parts that need to be cooked today (100 degrees! no air conditioning!), two weeks worth of laundry, and a pile of mail/rough drafts/crochet patterns/etc that needs to be sorted through. Oh, and since it is Sunday I have my yarn club meeting this afternoon. And church--mustn't forget that. And a story-draft on Ricepaper to comment on.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
helen_keeble just announced that she was looking for commenters on a story she had just finished, and though I'd love to read it I don't think I'd get around to offering feedback in geological time, so I' going to have to skip that.
I don't know how my friends with kids cope. I can barely look after myself some weeks.
