Not sure I care about...
May. 21st, 2026 02:07 pmEither of the WIPs I've got kicking around this month.(Which I know, if you're blocked right now, seems like an annoying #blessed humblebrag, I'm sure, but it's just...it seems like a fine line between "Engagingly surreal' and "!960s sitcom gimmick," Even though I loved some of those shows, I know which one we're supposed to aim for. And, yes, I went to class, so, yes, I've absolutely written and even submitted work that I did not love with every fiber of my being...it kind of makes the rejection part easier to bear, if not finishing the work.When it comes to the actual creation, though, it only works if I'm a*little* in love, I think.
Not sure I care about posting about Marlee Matlin on the West Wing, either, even if that is the kind of hypothetical posting That made me think about keeping up a blog in the first place...but, since I've written that so much in my head, maybe I feel like I don't really have to type it?(Although I will say that the most dedicated campaign managers I've ever met refrain from EVER acknowledging their candidate as a "schmuck" ever and I do think that the first time anyone there met her, smart or not, right-thinking or not, it would still be like "So, have you ALWAyS been deaf? How much hearing do you still have? Do you miss it? Must be handy during the rallies...kidding."(My Little Miss Diligent side did research and took notes because that's what she lives for, but I see it all in blue ink and shrug.)
Oh! I can spell my name in sign language...shit, wait a second."(Not that I'm totally sure myself that "No big deal!1" is really the card to play...it wouldn't go like that,anyway.)
On kind of a related note, Actual Mom has taken a training on "Caregiver Boundaries" which is a useful *thought* but I can't really imagine treating my home like a big old jobsite.
