It happened again! All of a sudden, the Internet suddenly felt Too Much for me, and I fell off it. This has happened before, and it's always distressing--I mean, not that I mind avoiding the giant firehose of outrage-and-merchandising that so much internet/social media spend so much of their time with. That's always good for me.
But aside from that, actual people, who I actually know, and share actual interests with, have been posting interesting things! And yet I feel like I've hardly been commenting or letting them know I'm out here, which might in turn make them feel like they're being interesting into a void.
So FWIW, let me say, I'm out here! And your posts and discussions remain interesting and fun! I'm sorry for falling off the boat. I'm working on climbing back on.
As part of that project, this week I'll be posting a few stories I had actually finished in the last couple months, and had gotten betaed, and polished, but didn't post. I think it was part of that "feeling fallen-off" thing. I had them in my pocket--or, I guess more accurately, in the drawerfic drawer--but was feeling so strange and tired and anhedonic that it was hard to get up the wherewithal to share them.
Kind friends have said, "I understand, but SHARE THEM!", and I am climbing back on as best I can, and so I will. Expect a story announcement in the next post!
To finish off this post, I wanted to mention that last night I saw the movie "Carol", directed by Todd Haynes, and LOVED IT. So beautiful! So melancholy! (But without a sad-tragic-dead-queers-ending!) So CHOCK FULL OF PINING, all kinds of beautiful understated complex gorgeously-filmed pining. Here's a review from Vox: http://www.vox.com/culture/2015/11/20/9769890/carol-movie-review Phwoar.
