Ah, Nebraska.
Apr. 5th, 2009 08:37 amThe good thing about today is that because there is snow on the ground, it's not likely that I'll have to hear that stupid ice cream truck.

Weekend Round-Up
Apr. 5th, 2009 02:37 pmalexandraerin.com went down for a while today for the very simple reason that I forgot to pay for it. I'd say it's simple absentmindedness, but there's nothing simple about my absentmindedness. Autopay was pretty much invented for people like me, but I've had it turned off for most of my bills because I was never sure exactly when in a given month I'd have the money on hand to pay for them. Whenever one slipped my mind as a consequence, I'd get a nice late fee, of course. But now that I've got so many people giving regular support, I can set up automatic payments again and avoid that. Once again, thank you... all of you.
(Keeping track of what bills are left to be paid is one more thing that isn't writing, so it's nice to be able to set up automatic payments from that standpoint, as well.)
I've been pacing myself... restraining myself, really... since getting back from New Orleans, making sure my new(ly) (re)found energy wasn't more like a temporary jolt, making sure I wasn't going to burn myself out. I've made sure there's something new to read every weekday, and more than one thing most weekdays, but I didn't lay out a schedule and I didn't try to do everything at once.
Now I feel like picking things up a little bit. I'm still not going to make a bunch of crazy promises about what all I will do... I'm going to ease in a little deeper, put on a little more pressure, though, and find out what I can do... and when I've found out where my limits actually lie, I'll make that the new schedule.

Oh... almost forgot... since my big reader survey revealed that there are a significant number of readers out there who'd like to see what I write in terms of out-and-out erotica, I registered a "writing journal" for such purposes:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
eroticae. Some of what I post there may be pure prose porn with no point beyond itself, some of it may be erotic fantasy with no connection to larger works, and some of it may be MUniverse stuff that doesn't tie into the larger stories (for instance, one reader's constant reference to the hotness of the halfkindred is making me want to explore their lives in a way that wouldn't really be conducive to the ongoing look at what Dee's left behind her.)
