De-lurking

[cowboyguy]

I feel like I've been in extreme lurk mode lately. I haven't been writing a lot, I haven't been posting, I haven't been reading. I've been trying to understand tumblr randomly scrolling through tumblr and reading stuff on AO3 sometimes.

I don't know. Part of it is from being generally busy. Part of it is from being depressed. Part of it is just feeling that "fandom is changing" feeling, and I want to go back to the days of all Livejournal, where I felt more like I understood things and could keep up.

Lately I just feel overwhelmed. With work. With life. With all the books I need/want to read. With trying to set and keep personal goals. With fandom in general.

Anyway, surprise surprise, I'm still busy and now I have to cut this short because I need to get to work, but basically just de-lurking to say that I'm still alive and I'm hoping I get it together soon and start being more active.

I can totally relate to what you wrote, especially the fandom bit. Although I am entrenched in only 1 fandom, I can see it changing on SFF and I'm sure it'll be different in TG's meme. I wrote a fun fic over winter break that took me out of my own writing funk. Maybe it'll make you smile. :) Link is on my Dreamwidth acct here to the story on AO3. Maybe the meme will help? Maybe...I can write you something? I dunno. Wishing I could do something, that's all. :)
