Random thoughts

This morning was so weird.

I got absolutely zero sleep. Kept tossing and turning all night. And for some reason was overwhelmed by fic-related anxiety.

Well, not fic-related, really. I'm pretty happy with my writing. But posting-related... yes.

I just can't shake off this feeling that when I crosspost/link my work outside of my writing journal, I'm shoving it in people's faces.

This is absolutely ridiculous, because I know that there are people who like my writing, and - in the case of tiny fandoms like aRTD and SSSS - there isn't much fic out there, so more is always a good thing. Especially in the case of aRTD. That fandom is so tiny.

So, why do I feel this way? I have no idea. But argh, maybe I should like - if I finish something (not exchange-related things) then maybe I should just put them only at roesslyng for a while, and not crosspost anything or link anything anywhere, until I feel better about it. Yeah, that might be a good idea.

It's possible that my brain was just being stupid because of lack of sleep. But I was feeling this a bit yesterday too, as well, so... I dunno. [/throws hands in the air] WHATEVER. Anxiety and shyness and nervousness are so damn frustrating.

See, the ocean gleams

Soooo movies this past weekend didn't happen. Writing club didn't happen either. I was sick and I stayed in bed and nothing happened. And I'm STILL sick but at least I feel a little better.

Colds going around at work, ugh. But what you gonna' do. And it was cold this morning too; -38C, but luckily it warmed up in the afternoon. Can't say I'm fond of all this, even so.

Read through a nice chunk of Witches Abroad, though, so that's all right. ...Granny Weatherwax reminds me a lot of my mum in this novel. It, uh. It sure is something. (Needless to say, there is a reason that I do my best to avoid travelling with my mum....)

Also was poking through some poems by Olav H. Hauge, and I was reminded (again, I don't know if I mentioned it before) that I have a very strong preference for translations when it comes to his work...
