robofeminist antiracist postcolonial dissertation
That's... pretty much it, actually. My therapist told me about this thing called the acorn theory, which is basically that we all have a calling and throughout one's life it manifests in different ways. And I'm pretty sure the intersection of feminism and science fiction has a big something to do with my acorn. But I've been afraid: of research, of big projects, of giving it all away too soon, of disturbing the blank forbidding page.
Fuck that, says I. Fuck it and every time I forget, feel free to remind me. FUCK THAT. One of the reasons I want to observe my own writing patterns is because I abruptly realized last week that I have a strong pull to stories about emotional trauma. I analyze the hell out of my relationship with other people's fiction, but not my own? Fuck that too.
I'm not going to pick any specific numbers because that's not what I'm about. I'm just going to keep on keeping on, and fuck fear, and I hope you're with me (because fuck that!).
In other news: I don't know what to do with Dreamwidth. I love the site and just have utterly failed to build any real community on it in a year's time; almost every (what I'd call) relationship is still conducted on LJ or began there. I'm not leaving, because I really do love the site, and I know a large part of my failure to build community is just that I haven't tried very much. And I do intend to try harder; I've narrowed my subscriptions a bit so as to be less overwhelmed by the whole attempt. But also, DW people, take this as an invitation -- to engage back (that I always encourage dropping me from your list if you want to rather than kept on to spare my feelings is on record in my profile, but probably bears repeating), and if you have any recommendations for people with whom to build real community, I would love to hear them.
