I really do not post here as much as I mean to.

Landlords

Watched an episode of this show about Landlords with my sister, and this one guy with ten other properties found one trashed after he evicted a lady who he clearly harassed earlier in the episode, and the whole time they're trying to make you feel bad for the poor wandword wif ten oder FUCKING pwoperties. My first thought when I saw the place was "good" all that show does is show that landlords are assholes who are more than willing to break the law for money but tries to frame people who can't afford to pay rent as the criminals instead.

Gargled salt water for the first time today since I was a child. I did not no salt could sting like that, and it was hugely unpleasant, not even sure if it did what it was supposed to, but I'm not thinking about the pain as much now, so there's that at least.

Other than that, I didn't really do much. Watched some TV with mom, played video games, not much else I COULD do, still I wouldn't say the day was super stressful. Just have to wait and see how long it's going to take to get this problem taken care of for good.

Got tired of the DC fandom and so I'm taking at the very least an extended break from all of that, maybe a permanent one as far as actually participating and discussing with every one else it. I might still write and draw and stuff, but if I do, it'll be purely for myself and not to be posted anywhere but maaaaybe my journal, which would serve the purpose of archiving while still being private enough that it doesn't come along with the general stress of general fandom.

Signed up for GYWO again this year, but this time I chose a habit could instead of the word one, it should be easier to write ten days a month than trying to meet a word count. Have a lot of ideas on what to write, original works mostly. Have a stack of books accumulated over the past year that I should get to reading, a million Star Wars things to watch/read, and also on a hobby search just because.

New Years resolution is to write in my journal everyday, and look at that, so far I haven't missed a day!

Watching Julie and the phantoms right now and while I wouldn't call it good, it's really been cute so far.

Like an idiot I completely forgot that Nano and Comfortember are both in the same month, despite having known all along they were both in November. I am not even going to flirt with the idea of doing both of them at once, and so, one much get the ax, sorry Comfortember, but Nano wins this year.
I'm going to focus on my original Nano work all this month, but if I get my daily writing goals done at the start, I'll dabble in a couple of the Comfortember prompts I haven't finished yet with the extra time.
As for right now though, it's the first day of Nano, and I am goin' a writin'.

I'm so excited for NaNo this year. Already decided which of my years old story ideas I'm going to work on, have begun fleshing out some of the characters and changing some of the details around. Not planning it out plot-point by plot-point this year though, because I tried that last year and that was a disaster.

Hoping the energy and enthusiasm I've got right now will carry through and that there aren't any other major shake-ups thrown at me by the asshat that has been life this year.

I don't understand how it can be so hard for some people to understand that others might love their own pets as much as they love theirs.

Suffering in the heat right now, as per usual this time of year, but trying a bunch of things to help with that, and some of them must be helping, because I have been doing better over the past two days than I was before that.

Anyway, got my writing goal for today done, 509 words so far! I'll be writing a some more in a bit, so it'll definitely go over that even though at the time of posting this it is pretty late already. Thinking I might actually be able to get this chapter to a story I had't even planned on continuing done tomorrow.

Another case of working on something other than what I was going to, but the writing part has gotten fun again. It really helps that I'm not putting these anywhere online just yet, so I can just enjoy them on my own :).

NaNoWriMo

Probably not the best idea, seeing as how I literally just now complained about my inability to write, but I've decided, this last minute to sign up for NaNoWriMo. I have no illusions about my ability to actually write a while 50 000 words story in just one month, but I'm going to try my best and get as far as I can! Lucky me I've already got a couple of story ideas to get me started, so there's one bit of prep work I wont need to catch up on.

So what I did was, I took a break from most of my social media accounts. Not because anything happened on any of those, I've just been having a horrible couple of months in general, and don't have the patience to deal with the climate on those things right now. Anyway, I take this break, and I figure I'll use all this extra time (it's not that much, really) to get some writing done, maybe finish a couple of WIPs.

And it's been going pretty well on that front actually, kind of...

I've gotten a lot of writing done, even updated one of those aforementioned WIPs, but most of the writing I've been doing has been for completely new, unrelated things. One of which is the first really plotty thing I've come up with in a couple of years.

Not complaining, I have been having more fun writing than I have in a while, and I would never complain about that. It's just interesting how much difference a little extra time can have on ones creativity.

601 words. Going to try and start keeping track of this regularly again.

1300 words, more probably, I need to get back to actually keeping track of this.

Might do some later though, I'm having feels for the OTP again, might write something with them later, or just continue with my binge re-reading of the handful of fics there are for them.

Too tired to get the exact number now, but I know it was close to 2000 words.

Got a short chapter done and posted today. I wanted to edit the first two chapters first, but I was too tired.

There's been heavy rain around here the past few days, but I think this is the first time in my lifetime there's been a tornado warning. At least as far back as I can remember there's never been one. Not sure whether to be worried or not.
