None, zip, nada. I know I need to update my fics, but sitting down to do it has been next to impossible. I&#8217;m not sure what to do to get back into the swing of things, but I&#8217;d better do so, and soon. <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#002060\">While my writing impetus is gone, my creative impulses have been flowing in other directions, it seems. I&#8217;ve been helping Rain to build a new RP site. There have been too many odd things going on at MSN Groups, and the more I learn about HTML and want to use it, the more I come up against MSN&#8217;s restrictions on it. We&#8217;ll be discussing the move this weekend at the brainstorming session. There&#8217;s still a lot to be done, though. <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#002060\">I&#8217;ve also been bopping back and forth, writing responses to various articles about the fandom, and participating on the FanLib boards. That&#8217;s one of the things I like about FanLib; it&#8217;s a gathering place for many different fandoms, and a few new people have been made aware of <em>Thunderbirds<\/em>. We&#8217;ve been in the top 10 fandoms for the past few weeks, which has been fun. And the competition has made fanfiction.net sit up and take notice; they&#8217;ve been adding\u00a0new features to compete with this brash new upstart. My one complaint about those features is this: if ff.net thought that pictures and images were so &quot;useless&quot;, then why did they offer them as part of the paid subscriber package when they had one?? I think that&#8217;s rather hypocritical on their part! <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#002060\">The Girl has posted her fanart (as in the TB pictures) to Elfwood, and they&#8217;ve been published. If you have a chance, go by and leave a comment; she&#8217;d love to hear from you. The link is in my favorite sites. <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#002060\">Hubby has been off for nearly two weeks now; I love vacation and I&#8217;ll be sad when it&#8217;s over. My folks were down for a week. My mom&#8217;s deterioration, especially the mental side, was pretty obvious. We had a more or less relaxing time, though. They visited friends and came to see us for meals. It was nice. Dad&#8217;s afraid that this will be the last time they can visit like this. Mom&#8217;s all set to come down for the Niece&#8217;s graduation next year. (The Niece being my local one; all others are in lowercase). <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#002060\">I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s more to say, but I need to finish the laundry. Three hampers empty and counting!! Woot! Once Hubby comes back, then we can turn the mattress and I can change the sheets&#8230; wonder if he went to the library after Home Depot&#8230;.<\/font><\/strong><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First of all, I&#8217;ve had absolutely no impetus to write, with the possible exception of writing to the RP.
