Orthodox Christians should write and paint and sing and dance. We should make
movies and television shows. We should make clothes and produce textiles as art
as well (the fullness of culture is itself too large to describe in a sentence,
a paragraph or even a book). And in all these activities, they will be
expressive of the fullness of our humanity without having to stick an icon on
everything to prove its Orthodoxy.
-- Father Stephen in Glory to God for All Things

I find myself putting off going to the library. So much so that I keep my books too long almost every time and I’m charged overdue fees. I thought it was simple sloth, or my innate talent for procrastination, but today I realised that it’s the System.

Disclaimer: I haven’t suddenly developed a case of multiple personality. This is fiction, okay?
There’s the Muse, of course. She’s usually about eleven, slight and red-haired, likely to lean over my shoulder and say “Well? What now? Come on, write it!” At least she used to be likely to do that. Lately she’s gone into an adolescent sulk. She probably misses Mary Gentle’s muse, who she went to the beach with last summer. I’ve been very stuck as a result of that (or perhaps as a result of various Real Life-type things). If she doesn’t come out soon, I’ll kick her; but it looks as if she’s rallying a bit, so I’ll give her until Saturday.
