Michelle and social networks

I've been absent. I've been productively absent, but I've been absent. I'm also staring at a spider doing a little air dance six inches above my keyboard as I type, which is not as alarming as it sounds, because it's a very tiny spider. I've been trying to read LJ--often in catch up mode, so I miss things--but I haven't been writing very much.

So this is possibly not the right post to put up after such a long absence. But, ummm.

Writing meme

About the writing meme that's going around:

Chapter one of Skirmish: Douglas Adams
Chapter two of Skirmish: Stephen King
Chapter three of Skrimish: H.P. Lovecraft.
Chapter four of Skirmish: Raymond Chandler

All four chapters: Douglas Adams (the chapters run about 10k words each)

Chapter one of Cast in Ruin: Ray Bradbury
Chapter two of Cast in Ruin: Johathan Swift (sic)
Chapter three of Cast in Ruin: Douglas Adams
Chapter four of Cast in Ruin: Dan Brown

All four chapters: Ray Bradbury (the chapters run around 5k words each)

… but smaller sample sizes (a few paragraphs) tend to all be Dan Brown, with one Stephen King.
