I try to have several projects going at once, so that if I get stalled on one of them, I can switch to another. It sounds narcissistic to say, but sometimes I read things I've written a long time ago to see if an idea jumps out at me. But, really, you can't underestimate the value of a good walk.(less)

For instance, fanfic may be looked down on, but ultimately it's just a genre that doesn't happen to pay you; if you have a fanfic in your head, write a fanfic. If it's a poem, write a poem. Every time you write, you get infinitesimally better, so it's important to do it a lot. That being said—don't push yourself so very hard that writing becomes a chore you dread. It doesn't have to be fun, but it should be rewarding.(less)

I realize I haven’t been on this site for a while

But that may change, since tumblr is experiencing trouble.  I may or may not try to export my tumblr to this site.  Memory limits may be a problem.  I don’t know yet.

At any rate, if a whole bunch of posts from years ago suddenly appear here, it’s because I figured out how to export my tumblr.

“and I know I was going somewhere with this, I just seem to have followed the sentence into a blind alley only to wake up later with a headache and my pockets empty of spare vocabulary. Again. Where was I when I lost you?”
Isabel Pelech, Echoes of the Ancients

“Summerisle also removes the ability to consider things trivial. Every choice becomes potentially disastrous, even saying hello. Most known sapient species require triviality; the lack of it is devastating to the psyche. And devastating the psyche is a necessary component of many kinds of mind control.”
Isabel Pelech, Rogue Ship

“You're cold."

"Listen, Mister Damn-the-Torpedoes—"

"No. It was a compliment. Cold, ethical people save more lives than hotheads." He forced himself to look halfway relaxed. It didn't really work. Like it or not, he had an edge showing; he didn't think of himself as harmless, not at the moment, and it was visible somehow. "It’s a trait I’ve tried to cultivate myself, especially," a split second of distress, not quite a wince, "in the last three years. Can’t say I’m all that good at it.”
Isabel Pelech, A Normil Day
