...might go to my nearest library during the mornings of my days off and write for a few hours in their old-fashionedreading room. I was also reminded a few minutes ago of one of the writerly shortcomings: I can't write action scenes worth a damn. Quite difficult when you're writing about werewolves who mimic the behaviour of wolves in captivity, so someone's always pissing off someone else, lol....
So what do I do with myself all year? (I figure this is the biggest scale on which I can usefully address the question of how I will be organizing my life. Once we start talking about multiple years at a time, too many of the variables are out of my hands.) Historically, the answer has been that I write a novel every summer.

I'm still having my little writerly frustrations, but am slowly finding my sea legs in the transfem genre, and actually beginning to enjoy myself. There's a whole new set of problems one must solve when writing transfem, that simply ...

..., the right structure and theme and plot, that it will come. I think this turned into my most ambitious project on the sly, and for once I don't feel like I'm grasping hopelessly at some writerly acrobatic trick that I can't yet achieve without falling on my arse.
