I have conversations with random people, many of whom inspire me enough to write blog-length responses.
I want to free ideas stranded in email. To do that, I write them into a blog post. Sometimes I do this well after the fact.

(This was originally written a few years ago, but I’m modifying re-posting it from my old website)
Emails are like old fashioned love letters. They are written on parchment using a quill, sprayed with perfume and sealed with wax. They are hand-delivered on horseback. They are read and perhaps re-read. They are replied-to and cited.

I do mid-range raid healing. Nothing mythic, and heroic is still a challenge.
With that in mind, I get complemented on my healing. My presence and tactics are regularly the difference between success and a wipe.
.. but people don’t understand what healing is, what the numbers mean, and what “good” means.
While I’m pleased to get complements, especially from other healers, I don’t think many people understand what’s going on.. even other healers. Their complement is somewhat meaningless, and for another healer to complement me worries me that they think less of themselves.

Fire is friendzoned.
Beautiful only when briefly viewed.
Thought of fondly but never embraced.
Warms when close, burns when touched.
Pleasant to be naked by, but it cannot seduce.
Cremation is fire with benefits.

After handwriting pen and paper, a piece on why I use a pen to write, I argued myself into buying a typewriter.

I write short stories. On paper. With a pen.
One of the obvious questions one would have come to mind when seeing me work is “Why use pen and paper?” In an era of computers and sophisticated writing software, isn’t the pen obsolete? Not even close.
