Evening Interactions

[dancinghorse]

Amazing how a reduction of owies makes the world look brighter. Still sore and hobbling but ambulatory. The horses greeted me as if I'd been away for a week. They all crowded for scrrrrritchies. Camilla, War Mare or not, came and pushed her head into my arms. Mushy stuff! Amazing!

They were all very funny. Carrma threw up her tail like a dowager empress lifting her skirts, and took off at the gallop. Keed and Capria parked at the fence. They wanted DINNER! The Girlz bunched up in the stallion stall, ready to leap out as soon as the gate opened into their own stalls. Pook boingitied around, or else posed magnificently. HUNGRY! he said.

When I shifted him out of the stalls so I could let the gang in, he and Capria made horrible faces across the space between the holding pen and the back run. She was doing her best Stubbs Big Mac Attack impression, sans lion. Ears flat back, teeth bared, right hind snapping against the pipe bars: Bang! BANG! She does like the sound of steel shoes on steel pipe. Pook arched his neck up over the fence and whuffled at her. Mare on a tear, just his thing. He so loves a dominatrix.

A good evening. Horses happy to see human standing up straight again. Human happy to be standing up straight.

No pages written--the one fly in the ointment of the day. But as Scarlett said, Tomorrow Is Another Day.

Interesting that we're all getting back to writing at once. Must be something in the air. Or the phosphors.

Oh my, hadn't realized others were just getting back into things. Although until I'm doing some actual writing maybe I shouldn't say anything. But at least I'm doing writing prep work.

Apparently it is Time.

This weekend I finally got back to writing as well — not the story that had been in progress, but revisions that'd been waiting for a break from same.

Judy, you might like this one. It's Philemon & Baucis crossed with the Reeve's Tale, complete with a doubled crib trick. Called "Hospitality."

I hadn't heard about Capria since the GEnie days. Nice to know she's doing well.

If the writing is returning, could you blow some my way?

Glad you are back to writing! (all of you!) Me? I am back to reading.

Did my taxes this week. I am also back to weeping.

Go Capria!!!!

Turn to the southwest. It's on its way.

Thanks. (Actually, I think I'm Northwest of you -- NoCal, not far from sfmarty.)

Glad you're feeling better. :-)

It's amazing how our four-footed friends get tuned into our physical and mental well-being. Even my pathologically shy kitty has been coming up and begging for love and skritches when I'm feeling especially blue. It's like he knows the sight of him flopping down on his back and saying "rub the belly!" will make me smile.

Here's hoping the writing trend continues for all. :-)

Must be spring in the air, trauma cycling through, or something. And yes, Katie, prep counts.

Larry, that sounds wonderful. Poem or story?

I'm noodling with a chapter now; this is a brain break. Have to feed horses lunch (self, too), then take casacorona to the doctor, but I'm hoping to get a bit more done in the middle of all that and then a bunch tonight. Pages! Beautiful pages!

Narrative poem, 250 lines, same stanza as the First Heroes tale in a more relaxed style. Am waiting to see from janni whether the revisions worked. (She never expected she'd ever have to tell me "Needs more sex.")

I've found myself taking more notes, writing down scraps of dialogue. Thinking about character behavior. I hope it translates to actual pages soon.

I'm glad the back is better. The horses sound like a blast.
