Dancing makes me seasick.

arkady's novel is progressing nicely. It turns out that "I write only when inspiration strikes. Fortunately it strikes every morning at nine o'clock sharp" (W. Somerset Maugham) is a good way to get a lot of first draft turned out.

Inspired by this, I've been attempting to write something vaguely song-shaped every day for a month. Doesn't have to even be any good at all, it just has to be an actual thing. I've missed a few days, but am attempting to keep at it. When I have thirty days down I'll probably put all thirty days up as an mp3. It'll be awful and pointless with a few good bits.

I've also submitted two pieces for the Homestuck album competition: "Salmon" and "Kingdom." I doubt they'll get anywhere, but it provoked me to get them into some sort of finished form. Both remain quite imperfect, but I'm quite pleased with them.

Regular readers will be relieved to hear that inspiration has *not* struck at the Lair of the HairyEars...

...Not since my threat to perpetrate additional Valentine's Day Limericks was greeted by an offer to buy me beer if I write a romantic Limerick incorporating Great Cthulhu.
