artemisdartI feel a sense of loss, being without a current longfic to write, after Three and a Half Steps completed. Part of me feels like I should immediately replace it with a new thing. BUT, the thing is, I have plenty to work on already.
I need to clear through my existing work before I start up a new thing! :P
It's frustrating to have my mind leaping around the way it does. Sometimes doing what I set out to do feels like trudging uphill through mud, or honey, or something else viscous that keeps me stuck in place.
I was reading that Leonardo da Vinci started hundreds of projects in his life and finished maybe 15 of them. So I guess I'm already farther along than he is, haha, just in terms of project completion.
Tonight I jammed my toe during martial arts class. I was sparring with someone and he moved in and stepped on my toe -- which is totally normal and to be expected. But I had my toe curled up inside my shoe, so when his foot came down on it, I gave a mighty yelp and hopped around like an idiot. Haha, I'm so soft; in an actual fight I'd be destroyed within a minute... BUT, it's not broken (I can still move it), so I figure it's just a nasty bruise that will fade in a few weeks.
And now it matches the other foot! I did this same thing on the other foot about 3 weeks ago. Once again, I curled up my toe while sparring, and someone else stepped on it. Maybe one of these days I'll learn not to curl my toes up.
