The thing about blogging is that I get paralyzed when I have a lot to say, and so far 2012 has been one of the most densely-packed years I can remember, so my instinct is to avoid the trouble of describing everything and tweet about lunch instead. I took a week’s vacation with my whole family, I drove many, many hours, I read some books, I watched some shows, I got a new nephew, I joined SFWA. I could blog forever about any of those. Twice! Instead I’m just gonna mention them so they get said at all.
The new nephew is pretty much ideal, as babies go. He checks all the boxes. Healthy? Cute? Occasionally looks at you? DONE and DONE. He comes home…oh gosh, today already, I guess. Tomorrow, high-school graduation. Children bork up the normal flow of time.
I get to see him again in a week or so, and I’m sure I will have still more things to blog about then. Maybe they won’t come on top of one another for the rest of the year.

I hear ya.
I blab way too much in blog posts, so they’re daunting to me when I actually have something to say. Haha.
Congrats on the nephew. =)

Way to go on the SFWA membership! My plan is to join you this year: I’m 2/3 of the way there…

Thanks! I slipped in just in time to vote for the Nebulas and it’s making me feel a) like part of a long, grand conversation about speculative fiction and b) super inadequate. π See you there before too long. π
