Brain Fuzz

[pegkerr]

mahoney pointed me to this Salon article on why some of us can't read great authors, which I found quite interesting, but I can't comment wittily on it since I spent about ten hours at work today, including several hours typing The Big Brief and so all my brain synapses are crispy melba toast.

Just received two October Project CDs from Amazon. I learned about October Project from victoriabitter and am quite pleased with the purchase. (She set two of their songs, "After the Fall" and "Something More than This" to Lord of the Rings music videos).

Spent about half an hour working on the selkie story tonight. How to handle the transition?



Hmm. It's usually a mistake to stop writing right before a transition; better to blast through and get at least a paragraph or two past the transition, so that momentum will let you continue the next day. But as I said, I've worked too hard and long today and so am ignoring all my usual good advice to myself.

Toddling off to bed. Hope the brain fuzz will be less in evidence tomorrow.

(Damn, this is a good album).

Were you at Connexions, perchance? I saw Victoria's vids there and was quite taken with the music of October Project, as well.

Nope, not at Connexions

That was a convention, yes? Was it for LOTR specifically? Where was it held?

Connexions is a slash con that's held in the Baltimore metro area every March/April. It's a fairly new con; I think the first one was in '98. I went in '98, '99, '00, and '02. It's specifically for slash fandom, any slash fandom, with panels, vid shows, dealer's room, a fun con play. It's the only con I get to because I live in Baltimore; I usually stay at the hotel, but I don't have to travel.˚
