Personal Note: Ooh, look! Plotbunnies!

I'm not quite sure what it is about How To Train Your Dragon that re-engaged my muse, but I've finished one story, am in the middle of a drabble sequence (working title: "Fifteen Kennings for 'Woman'" -- I'm going cross-eyed over Old Norse for the first time in nearly two decades) and have two other 'fic ideas scribbled down as notes on paper (one about Fishlegs getting concussed in training and spouting stats about his fellow trainees when he comes to, the other about Hiccup and Toothless encountering the Wild Hunt). I mean, I'm not going to complain, here, but wow, this is unexpected. It also means the house isn't getting cleaned and I'm eating a lot of canned soup, because I sit down at the computer for an hour after dinner and get up four hours later to go to bed. Art/life balance? What art/life balance?

I hope the godchildren I'll be kidsitting this weekend are up for a round of "Hey, let's all be quietly creative today!" One of them draws, at least ...
