I think your website is beautiful, and just right.
Distraction is no small problem; it seems to be a gift to have the ability to concentrate for hours. I work on my ability to focus all the time (meditation).
Thank you for saying so. You're right, it is a gift to be able to concentrate for hours, especially when there are so many distractions. Everything has it's advantages and drawbacks, though. It's fun to hyperfocus on special interests, but I also hyperfocus on unhealthy things, too, like bad memories or worries. Meditation is a huge help for me, too. I also get a lot of benefit out of exercise.
Anyway, I am writing. I've revised a few things, lately, and I'm ready to start submitting, again. I hope your writing is going well.
Your writing always impresses me. I loved the early scene setting: stinging cold, snowbanks taller than you.
Btw, did you hear that Elon Musk has said he's on the spectrum. I thought of that because his work schedule-method sounds similar to what you describe.
Thank you so much, Ellen. I was just sitting here feeling insecure about what I posted, so your comment helps a lot. How've you been?
I have heard that Elon Musk has said he's on the spectrum. Unfortunately, crazy cis white men claiming to be successful when they were really just born rich identifying as autistic isn't great for our PR.
Please don’t feel ashamed. I’m always happy when you write and I don’t care one whit about how long it is between posts. You always bring me something new to think about.
Tom! I'm so glad to see you here. I wasn't sure how much you'd be around. Maybe "ashamed" is a little strong. I wish I did more with my newsletter, but I obviously choose to do other things with my time.
Hah, I don't think it would've mattered if I deleted them or not. No one was on the internet back then, and those websites came and went before the internet started archiving itself. When people started using the internet more, I went through a long period of blogging anonymously before I got brave enough to post as myself.
I'm glad you're enjoying fiction writing--or at least, feeling the need to do it. Is that the same as enjoyment? No, you don't have to worry about making money. If you wish to not be paid, then you've chosen the right path. I hope the writing is going well. I hope to support you in any way I can.

“Maybe being me is worth the trouble.” -- yes, 110%, no maybe about it, yes yes yes 💕🙏🏼💕
