There needs to be more hours in a day
Last weekend Eien and I were in MN for our second Fourth Street Fantasy. Like last year it was AMAZING, made even better with the presence of Angie and Cole. We got to listen to interesting people talk about interesting things in relation to writing, and hurrrrrgh it could be twice as long as it currently is because each of the topics are the sorts of things you could talk about for HOURS. Death in fantasy? The lives of ordinary people? A whole panel on fiber arts in sci-fi/fantasy? GOOD STUFF.
It's such a stimulating con. I desperately want to sit down and do some writing now, although it feels like there is simply no time in the day for me to really do it. I have too many other responsibilities that are demanding attention, and most days I feel like by the time I have some time to myself where I could get some writing done my brain is too fried to try and write something out. And then top that all with the feeling that if I try to write out the ideas I've got banging around in my head, it's just not gonna go well, because I'll start writing and realize, "Oh yeah, I have no idea what to do with this other than it was a good idea". Which is something I realize I need to just get over because if I don't at least try to get the words out, it's definitely not gonna go well because, well, there's nothing there.
I also just need to get back into the habit of writing regularly. It's been a while and I'm pretty rusty, I think. Somehow, SOMEHOW, I just need to carve some time, kick my brain into gear, and at least get SOMETHING written. Maybe I'll surprise myself and something good will come out.
