(no subject)

All of you who have said encouraging things about the Smoking-Begone endeavor--even though I have not thanked you all individually--please be assured your support has been of enormous help. Because last night, when I would cheerfully have punched through a plate glass window and crawled across the resulting broken glass for a cigarette, what sustained me in part was thinking "No! I shall not let those good people down, dammitall!" Instead I went out and bought a bag of sunflower seeds and nibbled frantically at them like a small rabid mouse. Then I went to bed and slept for ten hours.

I hope that the tedium, lassitude, mental vacancy, utter lack of motivation, complete cessation of interest in activities of everyday life, etc. etc. that currently prevail in my head are simply a result of brain chemistry slowly readjusting itself in the absence of regular nicotine jolts. And I apologize for being so incredibly boring during this process.

One thing I thought about doing--since I apparently can't write fiction *at all* just now--is to attempt the DVD-commentary thing that's making the rounds. I started writing notes on Roots Rain, and have quickly discovered this is a whole hell of a lot harder than I thought it would be. Though this feels like the height of egomania, I'll just timidly ask--is there a story you all would generally *rather* have commentary upon? Any specific questions?
