"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Um...yeah

I keep wanting to tell a few of my friends that I have a blog, but then I get this whole panic thing when I think of people actually clicking on my blog and finding....

absolutely nothing new to read.

I remember several years ago when I read The Artist's Way. One of the caveats of the book was the necessity of writing, sort of a stream of conciousness thing. I found myself seriously resenting the "necessity" aspect of this process; it turned out that I needed to let go of expectations in order to proceed further in my artistic life, not add new ones. I dumped the journalling and found myself a voice teacher. Which reminds me: I should blog about that....later.

The pressure. I don't deal well with it. Ironically enough, it tends to make me procrastinate even more. This tendency has forced me to become remarkably adept at finishing projects and necessary tasks just before zero hour, but quite honestly, as I grow older, I find that my stamina has faded for such all-nighters.

pause

Okay, that wasn't so hard. Maybe just ranting from time to time about how much I hate writing will work.

Sure.

So, what are you saying? That NaNoWriMo isn't for you?

I think that has been how I've managed to get as much of my thesis done as I've got right now. Something closely related, at least *grin*

Hey Sli... um ... Al, when you finally got over that whole panic thing and sent us the link to this blog, I wanted to post something to let you know that I have followed you down this R-Hole and checked it out. It has a cute title. Haven't noticed any postings about cabbages or kings yet.

I'll check back now and again. When are you coming back to California to visit? Then again, and if sanity fails to triumph next Tuesday, we may be moving to Canada anyway.

Good to catch up.
