I was wrong

Apparently, I can write fan fiction.
*smacks forehead to keyboard*
Part of me is appalled at myself for 100 different reasons, none of which is a dislike of fan fiction (to make that clear).
But there are many good things:
I've re-learned I can write something that has no elements of the fantastic.
I've re-learned that I like history.
I've remembered that I really should read more non-fiction
I--seem to have a thing for non-modern politics. (Modern politics makes me want to break out in hives.)
Actually, I just love relationships, how people act with one another, and all the ways they are pulled by all that surrounds them.
I also have stellar avoidance techniques, because I only discovered this because I should have been working on something else.
It was not a waste of time, though. Not at all.
Now to decided if any of it will ever see the light of day, or if I'll shove it into the sock-drawer of my computer.

And that has led me to singing snatches of songs from the Debatable Choir around the house. Which makes me think that I might want to come back to Choir, if I can fit it into the schedule.

Though we'll be inviting past choir members to join us on stage at Pennsic to sing "Pastime" so we'd love to have you there. :-)

*Please* share.
