Personal Note: Lent

[nebroadwe]

Happy Lent to those who observe! I've given up reading fiction again, which I mention not to blow a horn before me on the information superhighway, but to explain why I won't be commenting on anyone's 'fic until early April. (It's a slightly better excuse than the current one, which is that the all the uses of this world have seemed weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable since the New Year. Touch of SAD, maybe.) I'm going to use the time to read some commentaries on Paul's epistles and do some background research for Knot of Fire, that Avatar novel I've worked out a plotline for. Dunno if I have the discipline to complete an actual novel, but in case I do, it'll be good to have the information on Asian agriculture and cuisine and court life that I'll need to make it sing. And it would be a shame to waste all the effort I spent over Christmas working out what Ozai and Zuko would say to each other during a prison visit. (Must also get one of either "An Inconvenient Season" -- formerly "In My End Is My Beginning" -- "Errands of the Eye" or "The Weight of the Paper" finished before Easter. They've all been sitting around in draft for far too long.)
