lobelia321This is the first day of my new one-year life!
My research grant kicked in today. I woke up, feeling responsible about having to live up to it. My new regime: all day library stint, punctuated by elevenses (yes!), lunch and afternoon coffee in the cafeteria. Wonderful research-research all day long into, yes, narrative, no less. Strange overlaps with online life... Well, not so surprising. Why did I get into fiction-writing in the first place? Hah.
Cafeteria times strictly timed but deliciously filled with slash-reading (today, wow:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cupiscent's "Plumbing" -- I really will have to pack it in after that), and, after-lunch drowsy time (toter Punkt! *g*) naughtily filled with reading John Gardner's Art of Fiction whence I gacked a few fun-looking writing exercises.
Aslazulus keeps telling me: move sideways. Must think laterally to trick myself out of writing crisis.
That was Day One of My New Life. So far, so good.
