No? Not buy­ing it? Meh. Works on Lost.

I got pre­cious lit­tle writ­ing done last week or over the week­end because, frankly, I was too depressed to care. It hap­pens once in a while, and this time I wasn’t able to push through and write any­way. The expe­ri­ence did give me an idea for writ­ing a piece on the best exam­i­na­tion of what it’s really like to be clin­i­cally depressed I have seen in pop­u­lar media (yes, I’m seri­ous), and when the damn finally burst, well. I’m work­ing on one of my way-​too-​long-​for-​a-​blog how-​tos on how to be cloud-​based and use local, OS-​native appli­ca­tions any­way, a “hey! you writ­ers!” cau­tion­ary piece about not talk­ing your story to death before you write it, and, get this, a short story (which I will not be talk­ing about until it’s done, because, hey, read the pre­vi­ous clause in this sentence).

So, really, more to come. Hon­est. In the mean­time, con­sole your­self with the knowl­edge that some ques­tions are just unan­swer­able, like where did the phrase “on the fritz” come from.
