cornerofmadnessBecause no one wants to hear about my boring day of being too tired for laundry and since I missed it on vacation, here's a late writerly ways.
But before that there's a few more days on![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fandomgiftbasket and here is mine if you'd like to write me something or do a little art (Prodigal Son, Hazbin Hotel, The Amazing Digital Circus)
Only...I can't remember what I wanted to talk about. I do know that for me, finding stuff in museums is a good source for my stories. That said I am seeing a shift in my writing, more and more things are historical. Okay I've been writing historical for more than a decade but now almost everything I do is historical even if it's only in the 80s and 90s. And I'm not sure why. Is it my age? I don't believe it was better way back when (granted some of the 90s were better than what Trump's done to today). Then again I love history. I minored in it after all. Hmmm
