I am writing another story.
*ahem* Own your obsessions, woman. I am writing another Vorkosiverse Simon-POV story. It claimed me yesterday afternoon and I have barely started typing, but possibly will get more done today. It may not work, but if I can pull it off, it's going to be gorgeous. And that is all I had better say about it. Or about anything else related to writing (George is not even speaking to me).
I'm beginning to wonder if creative obsessions are a side effect of hyperthyroidism. But nah. I'm like this all the time (just not always so efficient at it).
In other news, last night we finished watching the first season of "Homeland." (This is not obsession, really, though I must admit my totally-fictional baseline is now the couple on "Portlandia" who watch all of "Battlestar Galactica" in a week or two without concern for food or sleep or losing their jobs. It took us months to get through all of "Battlestar Galactica." This was thirteen episodes.) We are going to follow season two come hell or high water. Really well done, sharp twisty writing and plotting, fantastic acting. And no, I am not going to write the ImpSec equivalent, though it's kind of tempting. I'd love to stick Carrie into the bowels of HQ, but oh dear, she would drive Simon even more crazy than Miles does. Miles: slightly less insane. Occasionally wrong.
