Coming up for air

[babarnett]

Hey, look at that, I have an LJ account. Hello, poor neglected LJ.

I haven't had a chance to read or post around these parts the last couple of weeks. Busy, busy, busy, with a side of busy. I hope you've all been up to incredibly exciting things that I'm going to feel bad for having missed. 

As for me, my main accomplishment amid all the crazy that's been keeping me away is that I finished a new short story, "The Girl Who Welcomed Death to Svalgearyen." I'd wield the productivity stick in celebration, but I'm much too tired and headachy.

I did ask myself Sunday, "Where's Barbara been?"

Glad you're back! Cool on the new story!

Thanks for the welcome back, Marshall! Now let's see if I can manage to stay back. Just when I think craziness at Ye Olde Day Job has stopped rearing its head, there it is with its ugly mug again.

I for one do not welcome our new feline overlords...

Glad to see you back here, Barbara.

Congrats on finishing the story! I love the title. Very intriguing. :)

Thanks! Sometimes coming up with a title is like pulling teeth for me, but luckily this was one of the easier ones.

Good for you! Finishing stories is always a nice feeling - one that seems a bit distant considering my productivity of late!

My productivity seems to be going in spurts lately. I'll get partway through a story, then life gets in the way and brings my productivity to a screeching halt, and then I find a free afternoon and jump back on the productivity wagon. So much stop and go that I'm amazed I've managed to finish anything lately!
