chocolatepotI put Thinking Woman's Guide aside for a bit because I hit one of my hot-button issues - "riding sidesaddle is objectively terrible" - and picked up another book I got out of the library at the same time, The Goblin Emperor. Oohhhhh. It's soooooo good. I'm barely into it but I love it. It's about this half-elf/half-goblin who's like the fifth son of the elf emperor coming to the throne because everyone else was in an airship accident. You have to have a high tolerance for high fantasy names and constructed societies/political systems, but I LOVE IT. It helps that I love this particular cliché, the person who's not ready or trained or intending to do it succeeding to a title.
It's actually making me very sad that I can't get into my fiction-writing brain anymore, because I once wrote 20k words in this line (then took a break, then matured writer-wise in the meantime, then came back and realized I needed to take these bones and start over, so now I have ONE SCENE) and would really love to go back to it, but as long as I'm sewing it doesn't seem possible. You know, maybe I'll take a notebook with me on vacation and try to work longhand again. Maybe I'll be able to keep writing once I get back if it's longhand, since being on the computer all day at work may be part of why I stare dully at the screen when I try to write.
Getting a bit tired of the way some people on Facebook cannot hold a conversation. They just infodump like a bot, and half the time it seems like a non sequitur. Maybe they are secretly bots, I don't know.
