Explaining Depression to My Husband With Harry Potter

New blog post up on WordPress. This one, weirdly, took me a few days to write. I'm still not entirely sure I'm happy with the outcome--is it "literature-based enough" to be on a blog that's meant primarily as a literature blog? Is it too personal? Is it something no one will care about? Does it move from subject to subject too quickly? Does it even make any sense?

But that's the kind of stuff I always worry about when I write, so I figured, to hell with it, rather than sit on it for two more weeks until I'd forgotten most of the conversation I was writing about and the ideas I wanted to put into it, I'd just post the damn thing.

I really want to start writing and posting poetry regularly again, but it's so hard. Lately I feel like everything I say is just too insufficient. I have a handful of freewrites I've done, that badly need editing, but I can't bring myself to edit them because I'm not "in the right mindset" like I was when I wrote them. It's so frustrating.

Ah well. I'm working on it.
