State of the Monkey

I have finished the revision (that was in the icebox, and which you were probably saving for breakfast).

What does this mean for you? Well, apart from getting yet another insight into the fact that the publishing process is nothing if not slightly repetitive, I may actually have interesting things to say about the world and said writing process by the end of this week. I know I was boring for a month. I'm sorry. There was this revision and this dayjob and things and I got very, very tired for a while there and could not come out to play.

I did start taking notes on yet another inappropriately-timed novel idea that will really have to wait its damn turn. Yes, I am writing a reply to -- of all things -- Darkman.

Go figure.

So what've you been up to?

One of my favoritest bad movies (OH SAM RAIMI NO). I can't wait to see what you do with it.

It is a terrible movie. In like, the best way.

So far there are, well, dead superheroes. And broken-down theme parks. And strained relationships and dead people. Yanno. Like you do. *g*

That is so not a thing that will make me write faster. *g*

(Although I'm almost finished the socks. Then I decide if I want more socks or to start my Coachella.)

Embrace the power of "and."

...I can't knit out-of-season stuff, personally. Which is a srs bummer, for I haven't yet finished the skirt I was doing in Montreal, and it's getting on for cold here. (I am a wussy Texan, yes.)

Well, first I have to finish the Neverending Sweater (TM), which has been in exile on my coffee table all summer because it it an unending font of screwups. But I'm not a fast knitter, and tend to be a one-project-at-a-time knitter so I don't drive myself nuts.

Oh yes. We knit so we do not kill people, and driving ourselves nuts with it would kind of defeat the purpose.

Yes. And probably get blood on my nice Knitpicks circulars.
