I've begun writing. It's been a good three months or so since I last put fingers to keyboard with the intent to create a Work, and as always, I'm startled anew at the remarkable volume of life churned up in my mind. Fear blends with anxiety, both paced by determination and deep resolve. My intellect clicks into swift, intense gear, humming low with exhilaration. And beneath all is a still, soul-vital, ineffable Awe.
At the heart of good writing exists a pursuit of Truth---I was struck by that today. Truth in character and emotion and place and plot, even in chaos. Good gracious, how I love this. Why do I tell myself I don't?

You're a Ravenpuff!: You are a very analytical and ingenious person, someone who likes to invent new things. The way you look at life is with wonder, and sometimes you're even a little naive. But people love you for that trait and they feel the need to protect you from the harsh facts of life so that you can retain your innocence. You are a very capable person and when there is trouble people turn to you because you're able to stay calm and collected. You like balance in your life and you try not to make many waves. Even still, if there is something that you believe strongly in, you will commit yourself totally to that cause. Your weakness is that sometimes you can be indecisive and a perfectionist, especially about little details, and you drive people crazy sometimes with these traits. With the innocence of a Hufflepuff and the calm of a Ravenclaw you will be loved in life!
