Getting to sleep earlier might just possibly be a sensible thing which I should do more often. Had I done this last night, I would not have napped when I got in from work, and would not now have a big pile of still-not-done-ironing. Oh well. We contrive.

On a lighter note, DVDs arrived in the post this morning, and I now have copies of Hellsing and Fruits Basket. I really must consider bringing over Hellsing when I visit the USA in October, just in case any of my friends would like to see vampires. And not pretty vampires, either. Oh no.

I am singularly lacking in inspiration for writing today. Well, except for the mysterious tantric Buddhist tantric sex powers.

I vary between thinking that the more one exercises one's writing muscles (so to speak) the happier they are, and believing that one needs to let one's inspiration have a rest every now and again, to stop it running dry. Doubtless both are true for different people. If only I knew which sort I was, things would be a great deal easier.

Oh, for more Saiyuki Gaiden. And permit me to express a wish that something Very Nasty Indeed happens to Litouten. (Yes, yes, I know, so wish all fangirls, and in particular all Tenpou fangirls. It's the glasses, I swear it.)

I'll put in links to these two Harry Potter fanfic authors:

Both are an amusing read.

You're going to be in the US in October? *blink*

Yes, but unfortunately not for Yaoicon. I think I'm visiting Kallen from the 5th to the 12th, and then Beth in New Hampshire from the 12th to the 19th.

Kallen is in the bay area, ne? I get out there the 11th, so there's the vaguest possibility our paths can cross. ^_^

That would be excellent! We must coordinate. :)

So, you know I just finished reading Mark Twain's autobiography. He devotes an entire chapter to the topic of "recharging the tank of inspiration." Many of his (fictional) novels he would put off for months or years after reaching a certain point before completing them.
