RE: My brains

[stillsostrange]

I am suffering from the usual menstrual neurosis today, and it amuses me what my brain finds to latch onto when it has to be neurotic. It used to be full-on "I'm ugly and friendless and will die alone", but the farther I get from high school, the less able I am to believe that even in the throws of depression. Then in became "I suck at writing and will never finish anything" or "I have no money and am a failure as a responsible adult". Those don't stand up in face of a) having a book contract and b) having a day job. Now it seems the best the brain chemicals can manage is "I have too many books to write and not enough time and omg how will I write them all before I die?!!eleventyone!"

Poor brain. It tries so hard to be crazy, and can't quite make it.

But I'm still neurotic, and will now indulge in my favorite hobby: compulsive list-making.

I love these lists. Just sayin'. :D

I'm impressed you have titles. I have images (the book with the rock pillars and the forges; the fairy mistress endogamous clans book; the labour unions in space book... The ones that have word count are in a box, though, and are staying there. I have no faith in my old work.)

I love you both.

I too have a list, but none of it seems interesting anymore...

Wow. I have an amazingly short list. Amazingly short.
