Anyway, as I was saying: quite in love with the idea of self-publishing, because I've never lost that whole DIY ethos, and because doing something creative and amateurish from scratch would go a long way toward restoring my sanity and sense of self.

Which is also why, I think, all the dabbling in ritual lately: it's far enough from the expected role of married-in-the-suburbs to feel as though it's just for me, not for family. Besides which, nobody has greater need of occult intervention than the mother of small children, take my word for it.

Have had good week, in which writing has not been utterly swamped by mommying duties. This minor success has left me daydreaming, once again, about eventually finishing novel and self-publishing it.

Am quite enamoured of the whole self-publishing movement. Probably this is due to being old enough to have been involved in zine subculture, back in the day. Former punk/goth self would no doubt be appalled at current suburban-mommy existence. Am slightly appalled myself, when I think about it too hard.
