I have been writing so very much these last few months, but hardly any of it is anything I can show people. Stupid long stories. Stupid anonymous exchanges. It's frustrating to be making so much but feeling like I have nothing to show for it because I can't post any of it.

Also, work is basically trying to burn me down to cinders. This is not helping with getting anything done. This is the very definition of counter-productive towards getting anything done.

Yeah, I say that, but the story I have in mind is set in a frozen wasteland, and I'm definitely going to use my personal experience trekking through the Canadian wilderness in the middle of winter to portray realistic reactions to the cold. (AKA: if it's windy and -35C, you can't really tug a glove off to do something delicate with your hands.) I've read stories - and watched movies - in which it's clear the creators had never experienced cold like that for themselves and... yeah, it was jarring. Research = good. ;)

Yeah, definitely. Research is also fun, though I tend to leave the hard science to other people and just come up to them and go "help me? :D?"

*strokes Jayakarta, purrs softly* He will be interesting. So will hacking out what the heck is going on here.
