They say getting started is the hard part, but since I write every day anyway, that wasn't the challenge.<br /><br />Writing something I care about - that scares me.

There was so much juice going on, so much playfulness, as you recounted the process. My progeny, having "won" the challenge, is planning a much more leisurely ongoing development, and has started a new endeavor at the same time - taking daily dreams and expanding them a bit as the core of possible sci-fi or fantasy stories. Storing seeds for later. Vega as sci-fi augmented being - sounds similar. As for me, I'm not quite jealous, and not quite motivated to start something myself - but something is stirring down there. Perhaps I'll fool around in the direction of NaMoWriMo camp in July or August.Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06476814211173076515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-57321257182303266962011-12-03T13:54:38.473-05:002011-12-03T13:54:38.473-05:00i think you'd be excellant at writing sci-fi -...i think you'd be excellant at writing sci-fi - you seem to live in another dimension already, so it should come pretty naturally.

(Crocheting for hours at a time, until it activated my carpal tunnel syndrome last year, for instance.) Maybe that's happening for you with fiction writing. You certainly have writing discipline in your journal and blog.<br /><br />Balance is important, but there's nothing wrong with the thrill of a new project, either.

I was more than a bit saddened by that chopping down post. This one freaked me out at bit...thinking about the singularity...and then made me smile. Love your pics for this one!!!
