Three things

lenora_roseOne. Frustrating; I really haven't written much lately. As in, 1k the same Friday I hurt my hand (And trhat was the first major writing day on Serpent Prince in about three weeks, though I'd worked on another short project in between). Less than 100 words since.
Some of it feels like what Bear calls fallow time; a need to collect in more story stuff. I've certainly been reading, on and offline, like a maniac (Just finished the last of the Sharing Knife books and Sandra MacDonald's The Stars Down Under, in the reverse order. Started Tomson Highway's Kiss of the Fur Queen). But part of me can't help worrying about the sheer writing avoidance.

Did I loan anyone my Blackmore's NIght Christmas CD?
I have no idea where it went. I do remember it being one of the less impressive Christmas CDs I had, but I do know it had some worthwhile songs on it and I didn't trade it in. However:
1) I might have loaned it out, and if after Christmas, I wouldn't have felt any urgency to remember who had it or get it back.
2) I might even have gifted it to a friend, on the assumption that if a friend owned it, I could get those songs I did like back. Very unlikely, but plausible.
3) I would not have traded it in. For one, I have CDs I intended to trade in that have sat here for over a year. For another, I think Emmylou Harris's Christmas CD is actually even weaker, though she is at least as strong a musician and arranger as Blackmore, and a vastly better lyricist and singer than Night.
4) I might have just put it somewhere stupid. I will always grant myself the possibility of sheer basic dumb.

Otherwise: Healing, well. Sleep, now.
