Magic Window

Parabola tree, am4ndas, 2009

Having suffered through a three year long mild writing-block, I've suddenly found myself back on a roll. Maybe it was my brief experiment with Twitter that did it: that whilst you can throw any old combination of 140 characters together on Twitter, there's a satisfaction that comes from turning your thoughts and ideas into actual sentences and paragraphs that communicate those concepts. Also I'm a contrarian.

Rejuvenated, I've got through a number of long standing drafts that were featured in a filler-piece from two years ago. So here's another filler telling you what ended up where:

• The World's an Imperfect Place was merged into 'Thirty Frames a Second' (Para. 2) in Oct 2008.
• //homocentricism// was merged into 'Babies Mother [...]' in Oct 2008.
• Like a Glittering Prize [...] was published in Apr 2008
• Humanity 3 was published as 'Live Forever' in Oct 2008
• Wir Sind die Roboter was published as 'Quadrant 3' in Feb 2010
• Humanity 1 was published in two parts as 'If You Tolerate This' in Feb 2010 followed by 'Then Your Children Will Be Next' in Apr 2010

Most of the remaining drafts were deleted, in particular: Hyperactive led me to generate the vignettes tag. Here Comes The Flag was intended for the US presidential election; but caught-up in the moment, I instead lazily posted Obama's acceptance speech. Elements of it resurface in 'If You Tolerate This'.

That just leaves three drafts still in the works:

• //late night radio// is still a rough draft, though I may split it into two posts (Published 06/07/10)
• //buffy review// is on hold until I feel like watching the boxset again (Partly published 21/04/10)
• ///ga-slag @ 5/// is being drafted as 'High School Musical' (Partly published 09/12/12)

I'm already halfway through my target number of posts for this year and there's many more forthcoming, the problem is maintaining that level of output. That, and finding an audience...
