aadler | A moment to draw breath, and …

Okay, here I am.

To begin with,

sroni successfully carried off the managing of Round 3 of the Circle of Friends Remix (

cof_remix). The results:

sroni: remix of eilandesq, with “Between the Lines of Fear and Blame”
(and a bonus for comlodge, as a new participant in cof_remix, with “Hope Is a Four-Letter Word”)
eilandesq: remix of evil_little_dog, with “Little Marshmallows and a Warm Cup”
evil_little_dog: remix of aadler, with “Light a Spark”
aadler: remix of comlodge, with “Shock to the System”
comlodge: remix of sroni, with “Cosmic Joke”

For only the second time in all the remixes I’ve joined, someone remixed one of my few non-Buffy fics.

evil_little_dog’s contribution (listed above) there is definitely worth checking out.

In my newest ‘career’ move, I proposed to the trucking company I now work for a temporary team arrangement, partnering with another driver for a couple of months so we could help meet some of the holiday rush. During that time, I’ve been to/through 32 states and gone coast-to-coast twice … and that was just two months. My co-driver will be moving on to a truck of his own in a few days, and I can settle into a less demanding pace. (The advantage of team-driving is reduced downtime; when one is sleeping, the other is driving. The disadvantage is reduced downtime; sleep yes, relaxation not so much.)

I still intend to keep writing fanfic. I might even, once my schedule evens out, manage more of it than when I was stuck at home. (Fewer distractions.)

We’ll see.
