Am feeling very gray today, which sucks. On the bright side, though, I worked out my problems with various versions of MS Word and was able to edit my stories. So chapter 6 of "Secrets" has been submitted to FictionAlley and should be up in a few days. Also, "Wearing Thin," my foray into slash, has been sent to beta. And I've been puttering away at "Sir Ron and the Green Knight," which mysteriously developed actual thematic resonance, a fully coherent plot, and an ending. It also seems to have turned into a Christmas story, but I figure that's a small price for the rest of the developments.

Had a dinner party at Cat's on Saturday, with Susan's family and my parents. Not what I'd call wild fun, but certainly enjoyable. Have been working for Pat a little -- I did dinner last Wednesday and Friday, and am going over to help sort papers this evening. And tomorrow is Mom's birthday, and Dad still hasn't turned over the presents for me and Vicky to wrap. (It's not that he can't wrap presents; it's just that he does it badly and needs far too much tape to hold the paper together.)

I think I'm getting back into my life after a week or so of total checking out. I needed that. I needed that very badly. It's very strange to feel your mind blanking out and emptying of all ideas, particularly when you're used to having a rich and full "imaginary" life. Thankfully, all my people and stories are coming back again.

I sound nuts, don't I? Yeah, so I hear voices in my head, and I think they're real. But I can distinguish levels of reality, and all they ever tell me is to write their stories, so it's all good. That's not a problem. I'm not crazy, I'm just depressive.

And on that note, I must get off my ass and feed the dog before I start sinking into apathy again.
