Some bad news (Tom Disch's death, which is a loss to the genre, plus some other things of a personal nature) matched with some good things (dinner with friends over fine wine and laughter). Thus is life, I suppose.

It was offered tonight that I am the happiest I've ever been. I suspect this is true. Which is odd, because there is still much in my life that is not what might be considered perfect... but I'm okay with the lack of perfection. I'm happy. I laugh a lot, and sigh very little.*

This, no doubt, means that my writing productivity is going to take a hit**. Damn. But the novels will still be written, because they too make me happy.

Hey, fakefrenchie! Maybe you'll finally get the wished-for fluffy short story! *pauses* Nahhh...... *fanged grin*





*except when I consider politics, and the general state of the world. But I persevere, and fight for what I consider Right (which is generally but not always facing Left, yes)

**that whole "creative types must be miserable to create Art?" Has a grain of truth in it. But only a grain, thank the Universe. We must also be content within our own skins, to a certain extent. You can't create if you don't know who you are, first.

Have a lovely day! :-)

He looks leery of the electricity that Wren is shooting out of her fingertips. ;-)

Trying for perfection makes one miserable. Recognition of "good enough" leads to contentment and the realization that one can choose to improve if one desires.

May today be the saddest day of the rest of your life.
