Various...

My dad sent me the quote from his cryptoquote today...

Writing is an occupation in which you have to keep proving your talent to those who have none.
-- Jules Renard.


A bit harsh, but true in the context of often being asked "Are you still doing that little writing thing?" (Most of my friends only consider publication of a novel to be writing, so I'm pretty lame by their standards.)

Also, I'm going to beta the Dreamwidth thing for six months, at least. Supposedly importation and cross posting are made very easy, but I suspect it would stay secondary to the LJ. However, since I'm phone-unfriendly enough not to tweet, I have to stay current in other social venues.

Yikes, sometimes it's all I can do to keep up with LJ. And yet there are other days when I wish to heck I had something else to read cause no one's been posting for a few days. heheh.

Glad to know I'm not the only phone-avoider around. And yeah, even if you did use it only on a pc, still, it sounds awful time-intensive trying to keep up.

I've made a conscious effort not to try to keep up with FB or Twitter because I'm already over time here....
