not talking about real life
Mar. 2nd, 2021 07:23 pmDid you notice that I tend to write a post, receive several comments and barely reply to one or two of them? I'm sorry, if you did. Let me know, if that bothers you. Because I don't want to be rude, but I also don't want to force myself to reply, if I clearly don't feel like it. Which does not mean I don't feel like interacting with you, guys, it just means that I very often have nothing to say. But I really mean it: let me know if that bothers you, and I'll try to behave!
Meanwhile... the heroine of the village-house-fantasy still has no name. She somehow wants to be called Barbara, but I keep telling her that that's not international enough. Is there something closer to Veronica that still sounds like Barbara? Hm?
Anyhow, while I was trying to think about the village-house-fantasy, my other fantasy woke up. That one has been with me for quite a long time, actually. It's The Book that I want to write. Not that I only want to write one, but that one is kind of decided upon, has been for a long time. It's like a cozy snake (oxymoron?) that is lying inside my mind, sleeping quite contentedly and waiting until one day I'll wake it up and we... having trouble finishing that metaphor... will go hunt mongooses together? Yes. So, it woke up yesterday and I imagined quite a chunk of one of the plots. And I think, I know how to approach it once I decide to wake up the snake. (Note to self: like "Different People".) A pity is that I am not prepared to share that story with anyone. It's like a secret affair. So. Let's hope my not-quite-Barbara will be more open and sociable.
