Do you find you are better/more motivated/excited about writing if you have someone or two or three to interact with? I'm coming to discover that when I feel like I'm writing in a vacuum, I just seem to sputter out. I think that's been a lot of my problem lately. My cats aren't really interested in my theories about Loki's daddy issues, or if the Avengers really need to live together in one house mansion as it appears that they do in the comics (really?)(or so I've gathered from fic I've read.). I initially started writing fic in a collaborative environment, and I guess it's stuck. Which is weird considering in RL I'm pretty much a loner. For the most part, I interact on a daily basis (outside of work) only with my family, and the occasional cup of coffee after work with one of my assistants. I see friends a few times a year if I'm lucky, as they all live far away. I need a Harvey, I think. Or a sociable ghost - a Captain Gregg of my very own! Or I do need to start talking to my cats.

More Stupid Tumblr Questions
Oct. 29th, 2011 12:34 pmNow that I'm not posting from my phone, a little more detail.
My first experience with Tumblr was yesterday and this. Which surprised me, as I thought it was a place for images, but this seems like a blog. Then I got an extra dose of confusion when I followed a link to another tumblr account and found fic. So that leads me back to link one (Memos From Fury. Freaking hilarious!) - is the easiest way to follow/keep up with/track a tumblr account to have one of your own? Is there some sort of reading list/following list? Do I need one of these things? Hell, there's probably an app, isn't there? Do I need one more 'thing' to log in to every day?

'How British People Eat'
Jul. 30th, 2011 01:39 pmHow British People Eat is the subject of one Chow digests I just received. There's no link, ( so pasting it in below the cut. )
So here's one of my things: I like to watch people eat, surreptitiously, of course. How do they hold their fork, in which hands, do they switch them back and forth? My upbringing was a hodgepodge of Canadian, American, and British, and I don't always know that aspect of my behavior or speech comes from which sometimes. I do the 'composed bites' - not all the time, but a lot of the time - and had no idea it was a British-ism. I don't switch knife and fork when I eat; fork stays in left hand, knife in right, and I hold the fork tines up. My parents, who are from western Canada are utensil switchers. So tell me, how do you eat? Feed my hyper-curiosity!
