Yeah, sorry about last week. For those who follow me on Facebook, I spent last weekend and half of last week passing a kidney stone. Needless to say, there was no writing done. There was very little work done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was a LOT of sleeping done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This past weekend, for the first time in 3 years (THREE YEARS) I went up to Maine for an SCA event, the Great Northeastern War<\/a>. I didn’t camp (my knees and camp cots don’t work well at the moment), but I did go up for the day on Saturday, and even though I didn’t get very far into the event, I got to see people. I got to hang out in the Stonemarche camp and sew and listen to my friends talk and wear my garb and eat good food and smell campfires and just…yeah. I miss SCA. I miss being mobile enough to move around during the event, and I am DETERMINED that next year, I’m not only going to be able to move around, I might even fence. Because reasons, dammit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There’s another reason I’m proud I went to the event. Since Covid, I’ve been having anxiety\/panic attacks at being in large groups. Even outside. Even though I know my friends are vaccinated and boosted, and they are great at asking if I’m okay being hugged. It’s my brain and I’m working through it, and darnitall, I made it yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, I got to watch my friend Robert dance to Kate Bush on the front lawn of the State House in a red dress as a part of the Wuthering<\/a>, which I had not heard of before, but was amazing. I’m hoping to join them next year. If you have a chance to do it, or even just watch it, I highly recommend it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n My writing is in kind of a dormant period. I’m reading The Ghosts of Borley Rectory<\/a> as part of my Belladonna Dreams research, and I’ll be picking up Ghostology<\/a> later this week as well. I’m still working on the timeline in the Horseman universe, but I definitely have some scene ideas popping into my head for the first Shanna book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m starting to get creative again. Which is cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yeah, sorry about last week. For those who follow me on Facebook, I spent last weekend and half of last week passing a kidney stone.
