A Silly Complaint

[lydamorehouse]

Yesterday, I wrote a totally gratutious scene that I absolutely adore. There are a number of things at play in it -- from the fact that I think science fiction novels SHOULD comment on each other/the field to the idea that, despite the fact that I've read some I've enjoyed, there's much about the whole steampunk fad I absolutely can't stand.

Mouse runs into a gaggle of what he calls "gear twinks," who are thinly disguised steampunk affectionatos.

And I have way too much fun with their conversation.

Anyway, Shawn is home. Hooray. I find that when she's back, I concentrate better. I get more done. You'd think this might be the opposite. But I kind of meander when I'm on my own. When I know people are depending on me, I do more.

It's weird.

Speaking of which, I need to get out of the coffee shop and back to home and no interwebs to distract me from writing.

I feel about Steampunk just about how I feel about Star Trek. I'm able to appreciate the primary sources on their own merits, but the people who get way into it and structure their lives around it make me want to run away.
