things I miss and other things
Sep. 20th, 2009 09:39 pmI miss writing.
Not that I am or was a serious writer with plans to publish or the like - when I do put hands to keyboard it's usually fanfic or something else for my own amusement. Still, I miss warping/inventing characters and taking them for a spin through borrowed/bent worlds.
And the attention - for all my reclusive tendencies, I enjoy writing for an audience. "I laughed" or "I swooned" just make me smile quietly inside :)
I also miss my writing buddies. They are some good and brilliant people, and there's nothing like the back and forth of bouncing narrative off each other and the "what if?"s that lead to hilarious "why not!?"s with them. Hi guys [waves]
I just don't have the time, at least not right now.
Kirtle makes mad progress. Lacing it up was a trifle that took me about an hour, including making the aiglet out of flattened copper tube (cut with wire snips). Now I'm hemming, and it looks like will come just as long as my ankles. May not need a guard - peasants/middle class wore their skirts a wee bit shorter for practical reasons, right?
Feeling mostly back to normal now, except for the nasty aftertaste from the antibiotics. I fenced successfully today, with breaks, and while my legs hurt, it's mostly because I can't take any ibuprofen with said antibiotics. I still miss coffee.
These are beautiful, especially the pirate coat. None have much to do with authenticity and the maker admits as much, but that's not the point.
