I also tend to greatly prefer linear storytelling, even though that seem almost out of fashion now. I live life in chronological order, why can't my reads be the same??

so I have gone through a lot of CD books this last month or so. and much like when I read I notice that a lot of modern novels flashback too often and for too long. The trend seems to be to set up a premise and then spend scores of pages describing how characters lived before the premise.

They probably voted to throw Puck out of the house.

Finished three books in the last month on my work commute because of them...books I otherwise would not have finished.

Fall trees, blue skies, and a road to follow.

Entering the first #holidays season without Mom. I right now do not have anywhere to go for Thanksgiving. That's a little shitty. But a friend of mine has already agreed to spend a few days through Christmas with me which is good news. Between the two, I'd rather have Christmas. #grief

In an enormous win against executive disfunction, I both went to to the gym and applied the first layer of weather proof paint to my porch yesterday, and today I kept a doctor's appointment I did not feel like keeping, and later picked up groceries. #autism

How early is too early to think about how to achieve a long-term goal? I both do not want to waste mental space I may need to get through today and tomorrow, but I also do not want to turn around after a few thousand tomorrow's and realize I never planned something out. Thoughts? #longtermplans

Yes I can get a playaway and use an aux cable, at least I think I can. But there are still far more choices on CD at the library than in other audio formats.

I am pissed at the used car I got recently. Very much needed it, yes, but the CD player that I have listened to so many audio books on since I got it, keeps malfunctioning, and i have no idea how to fix it. I only just started to enjoy this major plus. #audiobooks

Several people have quit the company I work for lately, including my favorite coworker, as I mentioned last week. That may open the door for more hours for me some day, I don't know. But I am not over her departure enough yet to consider any potential pluses.

Is all pho spicy? Or just what I tried a few minutes ago that is still burning the edge of my lips?

This year of course, #grief has slowed my output. However even before that, I suspected for a few years that I may have been holding myself to too high a standard for my work. Almost nobody ever reads it or buys it, and that is part of my reluctance too. But that is connected to the same fear.

This is not arrogance, or hubris. Only an acknowledgement that I, (and I suspect you) probably assess the needle of quality in the creative world much higher than the average actually is. There are not as many masterpieces out there as we tend to think there are.

I am not a perfectionist in most cases. Not even in my #writing, because being one about writing is a great way to never get it done. Ever. That being said, I suspect at times I have written less because I expect as good or better than what it out there, when in many ways it probably already is.

Working a help desk has in many ways, sadly, only confirmed my overall take on humanity as an entitiy. I thought about writing an essay about what I am learning/confirming, but I am sure, even with my #Autistic viewpoint, it has all been said before. Still, it blows me away sometimes.

Each year for the last few this group has done a Shakespeare comedy. The character I play this year may be the most fun of them so far, even though the play is not my favorite.

i thi8nk the key for me to celebrate the #holidays during my #grief year is to make them familiar, but new at he same time. Try different decorations, new music. Do things in different order. Not so as to reject what was...but perhaps to ease into what now must be.

In book news of sorts, the used car I obtained last month still has a CD player. (albeit a frustratingly contrary one). This has allowed me, when it is not acting up, to listen to audio books on my commutes to work and rehearsal. I finished two books this way in October.

I don't know how i will feel entering my first holiday season without Mom. But I do not intend to totally ignore them. I have a friend who has kindly agreed to join me for #Christmas, and that should help.

I did not put out Halloween decorations this year. It is not the biggest holiday in this family, but we usually carved a pumpkin. But in this year or mourning, plus having a job that keeps me busy I did not get around to it. i do, however intend to decorate, albeit less than usual, for #Christmas

My favorite coworker is quitting the job we both started at roughly the same time this year. I am illogically bummed by this. But it is what it is. She was faster at this job than I am. I learned from her.

I have begun rehearsals for Taming of the Shrew, my next one being tomorrow. I play Grumio, which I may have already mentioned on here, but I tend to repeat myself when I only post every few days.

hadn't thought about it. 😛

I just had a new shitter installed.

Most of writing is editing. Good luck!

the Writing Fairy perhaps.

I just finished The Twyford Code.

Benson (sitcom) had some moments, but it really hit the cringe factor more than a few times. (Thanks streaming...in my post-cable era.)
