I realize I've been off the grid for almost a month. It's been kind of a hard month, and school started in the middle of it, so I've been scrambling to try and get everything under control. Sorry 'bout that.
I also got a touch of writer's block with one scene that I couldn't figure out how to write. But the idea came to me at dinner on Wednesday, and I held onto it until tonight, when I unexpectedly finished my quizzes an hour early and decided to reward myself with writing. As usual, the scene blew itself much larger than I expected, but it was fun. I'm a little worried that I'm doing too much tell instead of show, but I'm trying to leave that stuff till after I've got the whole thing written. It's probably going to go unbearably slowly from here on out, but hopefully it will be a steady slow instead of a is-this-ever-going-anywhere slow.
In other news, school is having a craft fair in December and I've booked a table to sell my wee bracelets. So I'm trying to work out what I want to make. I have a current stock of:
2 rainbow diagonal stripe bracelets
1 completed, 1 half made trans diagonal stripe bracelets
1 half made genderqueer bracelet
A long string of ace bracelet I can cut into individual bracelets
Yeah. Per-thetic. But I keep giving them away.
So I reckon I'm almost good with ace--I'll make another Viking Weaving of them and then cut them into bracelet sized strings. I'm going to steer clear of earrings (though I might do zipper pulls) and of multiple patterns--I'll do diagonal for the wider flags (rainbow and trans) and diamond for the narrow ones (GQ and pan). But wait! I can pull off diagonal of the narrow ones if I double the colors and work with six strings instead of three. Hm. And it's easier. Is the diamond cool looking enough to go the extra effort? I need more of everything. Diamond's way too much effort for rainbow or trans, so I'm probably good there. Thoughts?
Also, have a link the Trevor Project poked at me just today. Adorable humans for my inner hopeless romantic, who also happen to be a-spectrum.
