it's how it is

Today is brought to you by Lemon Ginger tea and Placebo. (See? Told you we're getting back to normal. One bit at a time.)

Have I mentioned that writing is hard?

Have I mentioned that writing post-Clarion West is hard? Have I mentioned that whilst on particular medications writing is insanely hard?

Ellen Datlow has commented that if one had recently returned from one of the Clarions and was having a hard time writing, or wasn't writing at all, not to worry. This was normal. It was if one wasn't writing after a year that one should worry.

I'm writing. I'm writing a lot. But this is still something I keep comforting myself with.
