Writing Again and My Inbox

Whoa. Here I am trying to get to some of my (still overburdened) inbox and Tumblr is like “Oh hai, I’m gonna screw the pooch now, ‘kay?” and um, no, Tumblr, no that is not okay. I’m trying to keep people updated here. 

I’ve still got quite a lot of inbox catching up to do, some of which I need time to think about to formulate my answers and just…just you know, there’s a lot and I’m way behind. 

I also have research to finish, and I’ve started writing again. Finally. Oh man, I don’t even think I can describe how good it feels to be writing again. I ended up doing way more today than I intended and now my brain is like “Zommmmmmbbbiiiiesss….” or something. No, wait…Um, anyway, my failed attempts at abstract jokes aside, I need to restructure my schedule so I can get things done, and the fact that I’m writing again does mean I might be a bit slower to get to things. But I will get to it.

I may end up closing down the mailbox for a day or two if I feel like I need to; we’ll see. In the meantime, I just wanted to let everyone know what’s up. Maybe I’m just being overanxious, but I like to keep y'all updated, because I’m not ignoring anyone or anything (or not trying to, anyway). It’s just sometimes I take a couple days off, or I’m dealing with too much crap, or I need some time to gather my thoughts, which is why I go silent occasionally.

(And as you can maybe see from how incoherent this post is, I’m not at the top of my game after a full day of work, so there are definitely questions I shouldn’t be answering right now.)

So, basically, this is how it tends to go. I get very little in my inbox, then suddenly WHAMO! I get a pretty sizable influx. I have among other things several questions to answer (including one that’s been sitting in there forever because I haven’t had the time/willpower/oh-my-god-Wikipedia-spoons to look into ABA).

And then I’m like “It’s NaNo/Christmas/holidays/whatevs, I’ll answer those in a day or two” and then a week later I’m like “Oh crap, my inbox!” I even leave the notification emails hanging around to remind me, but I still forget because I can’t organize my way out of a wet paper bag with a flashlight and a flamethrower.

But I intend to sit down after New Year, now that my NaNo project is done and I have a bit of vacation (which I almost never get because my boss is a massive, slave-driving bitch oh wait, my boss is ME, crap! ) and actually get to my stinking inbox, so if you sent me a question, it’s not that I don’t plan to answer, it’s just that it’s only me here and, you know. Stuff.
