Time for some life-direction ponderings. I know I tend to make resolution-style To Do lists, but this is a little different. I've got a steady job (2 of them, actually) and will be caught up on bills in about 3 weeks, so I'm getting the money thing under control. I haven't volunteered any where (outside of participation in protests surrounding the Metro Bus strikes and the Slut Walk movement) in over a year. I did some intense and awesome writing last fall for the 3 Day Novel Writing Contest, and NaNoWriMo, but not a heck of a lot since (largely bc of the Slutwalks).
So, now I've got some intellectual space to fill. I mean, I have been extremely active almost non-stop since February in conversations surrounding the Slut Walk movement and how it relates to consent, slut-shaming, victim-blaming and rape culture. I feel like I've gotten to the point where I've perfected a lot of my arguments and am wondering if I can do more with them. More, perhaps, in the form of a blog or a book? I know there are millions of blogs out there that are effectively covering a lot of these same issues, so perhaps a book would be better and more concise?
I feel like it's time to get back into my writing and less internetness, and perhaps that would be one way to go about it. With my schedule, I just don't have the time or energy to get back into volunteering, yet, and likely won't until next year, after I've paid down my debts and can just stick to one job.
What say you? And what are the personal projects you want to start taking on?
