Once more...

Once again, back after time away - and doubtless having missed much.  :(  Lots of my life (including pretty well all of those good intentions/resolutions which I started the year with) went by the board in the last few weeks - as well as all your posts on LJ/DW, and any new stories which might be out there.  I'll look forward to reading it all, and profiting from everyone's recorded wisdom and creativity!

In terms of writing, I came back to find a sudden flurry ( a small flurry, but very welcome!) of reviews and kudos on AO3, especially for The Ivory Merchants, but also for one or two others - this was beautifully cheering to find!  and I hope will help me restart writing before the year gets too old.

There's been quite a bit of tough stuff happening, but  good things have happened, too, while I was travelling.  One was lots of good reading, viz.: 
  • I'm now about  half-way through War and Peace (which means I can start to read [personal profile] moon_custafer 's posts on W&P, too!)  and
  • one day I made a lightning raid on Abbey's Bookshop in Sydney, to snatch as many books as I could of my Books I'd Like To Read list - eight, in total, I think, and
  • as has happened before, while staying in other people's houses I read great things from their bookshelves, including a SF Classic that everyone but me read years ago.  :)
So that's all good, and will be posted about soon!
 
Meantime, here's from Australia, about the glorious night sky, and the dark constellation which is now riding high in the south.

Beats me! I only saw the post because Snacky (aka [tumblr.com profile] thatgirlnevershutsup) reblogged it, and didn't look at [tumblr.com profile] adaperturamlibri's blog beyond that one post. But I just looked at their sidebar now, and apparently their AO3 user name is [archiveofourown.org profile] todreaminscarlet, if that means anything to you.

(...And then I checked their AO3 profile page, which says, "Formerly belle_of_books on FF.net and LJ" -- suggesting they're probably not on those sites anymore.)
