Hmm, so there’s this thing where I said hello, then never wrote again… I do have reasons! First, it was because WordPress went crazy for a bit and tried to take away the old editor from me, and I despise the new editor so much that I decided that not to post despite my hello. Then the old editor came back on it’s own. *shrug* Then, the only tradpub book I’ve read this year was Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson, which took two months to listen to because it was something like 62 hours long. By the time I finished listening to it, it was almost time for my first trip of the year. February, so far, has been prep for the trip, then the trip, then recovering from jet lag after returning to Texas. I meant to post about Wind and Truth, about the fanfics I read in January, maybe a bit about this trip…

Well. Eventually. I’ll have to get back into the swing of things, review-wise. Wind and Truth probably wasn’t the best one to start with considering its size and complexity, not to mention that it is the fifth book in a series.

I am still here though, and planning to post in a very sporadic kind of way. I’ve been quite busy feeling very happy (though pining) for my lovely Rainstorm (by which name they will be known) in Europe. We spend hours chatting every day, and much of my free time and energy goes into that. We just celebrated three months together while I was with them in Europe, though we’ve been fast friends for a year now. Met through fanfic and were friends and beta-partners long before we began dating. It’s a very different way than I’ve done things in the past, but so much better, so much healthier, so much happier!

(Yeah, no face pics of them, just like no name – gotta keep the real life stuff away from the fanfic stuff for job purposes!) (And yes, those are complementary tattoos that we got while I was with them. We’d been planning it for almost half a year, long before dating, as a nod to our fandom and our beta-partnership. Now, it’s something more.)

So yeah, I’ll get back into the swing of things eventually. I’m enjoying life too much to worry right now about schedules and shoulds.
