small things

A clothes shopping expedition after which I am the owner of multiple pairs of pants (that even fit) and an awesome dressing gown, instead of the usual haul of demoralisation and failure and maybe a pair of socks I don’t hate.

I enjoy your real blog, so I hope you continue it eventually!

Aw, thank you! I am always so surprised and pleased to hear that sort of thing, especially when it comes from unexpected sources (i.e. anyone who doesn’t know me personally and thus feel some sort of obligation to be encouraging).

As it happens, I’d finished continuing by the time I read this, but I am going to read it again next time I run into trouble. So, probably tomorrow.

get over yourself and write stuff, self

I haven’t written anything on my “real blog” for over four months. And now that I’m finally working on something I’m having a terrible time with distractions and resistance and feeling like I don’t want to sit and type stuff about a Mountain Goats song even though actually I do want to, more than I want to do almost anything else.

If I can get back into the swing of writing regularly I will be exceedingly happy. It’s my current Number One Goal.

It doesn’t help that the next post in line is going to be hard to write.

FEAR OF SUCCESS, FEAR OF FAILURE, FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS, STOP WHINING ON TUMBLR AND WRITE STUFF, THE END.

Also I’ve been wondering if I should set up a secondary Tumblr and use it to mirror my “something about every Mountain Goats song” project posts.

GOOD GRIEF SHUT UP AND GET BACK TO WORK

Magpies eyeballing me as I walk past in the mornings, and then bursting into song.
