well it's 2020
Sep. 14th, 2020 03:26 pmCrazy year it's been too. I know I don't post much about myself--or anything at all these days--online, but after being stuck indoors a lot (like many folks) during the pandemic, and even more so with bad air quality (hi I live on the West Coast in the US and we're literally on fire), feeling the need to do a little outlet of something. ANYthing.
I wrote 1000 words of fic for the first time in years today. And I'm going to keep going. I rewatched a few of my old favorite anime recently and it got me wanting to write and be creative again. My work schedule has been pretty strenuous for many years now so I haven't really had as much energy or drive to exercise that part of my mind in a long time, and ohhh boy is it rusty haha. I've tried starting a few story ideas and they just went so horribly that they got trashed right after. Today was my first bout of success, and probably for the best that it's on an existing story that's already partly out in the wild. (For the curious, "the clockmaker's dilemma" part 2.)
Anyway, what's the point of this again? Idk. Maybe it's just to say HI. I'm alive. I'm actually doing pretty well, all things considered. I miss being creative. I miss fandom friends. I still want to write. I need to stop editing myself so much, though it's a pretty persistent habit nowadays.
Maybe that's part of being an adult? Whose idea was adulting anyway, they're fired.
