Just Create - Iron Giant Edition

[silvercat17]

(I've finally watched The Iron Giant)

It's another weekend. It's gloomy and cold here. What are you up to? What have you gotten done? What do you need encouragement on? Are there any events or challenges you want to share?

Mostly I've been working even though I really don't feel like it. I've also done some stuff for RainbowFic and I'm going to make soup again this weekend. I've ridden the stationary bike twice this week.

I need to get through my DW inbox...

Edit: let's make a proper to-do list...

- time sheet
- DW inbox
- pack up dice
- pay car registration
- strip bed
- start laundry
- clear off tv tray next to desk
- wrap up post for the rainbowlounge games that ended

Stretch goals:
- measure and order plexi for display cabinet
- finish generic banners for palettes

I should also queue up a bunch of Writer's Salon posts on rainbowlounge. I've been really bad about doing them.

DW inbox cleaned
Wrap up post done. Now I need to actually do the rewards for the 400 Lists Party

Good luck!

And also: I finally set up posting by email, using the guide you created, so thank you again for that! I may end up using heavily to manage some communities as the year goes on 😂

[silvercat17]

I'm glad it's helpful!

I both launched and started moodthemeinayear, a community dedicated to, well, creating a custom mood theme over the course of a year 😜 I've got my first three moods sketched out, as well as another three from the end of the first leg. Translating the sketches to computer images is taking a bit more time, but I'm having fun!

(Kudos on finally watching The Iron Giant! It's a great film.)

Edit: I forgot to mention! Mood Theme in a Year is also a great way to practice drawing expressions for OCs.

[sankseas]

Aw man, that sounds cool! Good luck with your comm & your own mood theme :D

okay the possibly-only thing left to do in this chapter (if we don't count assigning like and comment counts to the Intsa posts) is the YOI version of this article with quotes from the top three skaters after the short program at Nationals

which means I have to figure out what Yurio, Victor, and Georgi (and that probably is the order they're in after the short program at Nationals, unless Georgi having a new girlfriend screws up his method acting and therefore his PCS for Carabosse) would say at that phase of the competition, and how much of that the news site would print

I'm trying to write a few more gifts for fandomtrees and trying to hold on to my mental health which has taken a few hits already this year

[sankseas]

Good luck with both, seriously! Hope you get lots of cool ideas, but that you can take some time for your mental health, too :')

[cornerofmadness]

thank you. I'll call it a win if my online teaching software works better than last semester

[adore]

i'm plotting something, and that's the most difficult part of writing, for me. my brain won't smart. :/

[sankseas]

Ooof I feel your pain with plotting - it can really be a slog. Sending good writing vibes your way~

[adore]

thank you for the good vibes, i need them!

[lb_lee]

Whoa, you never seen the Iron Giant? Did you like it?

[silvercat17]

I am always very very much behind on classics, especially movies. It was good! I should watch it again!

[sankseas]

Yet again realizing I need to schedule breaks into my plans QuQ Last month was so busy it completely messed up my schedule. Thought I could push through this first new week, but I've been crashing hard... gonna finish what I reasonably can today & take tomorrow off!

Could use some kind words, though. Kinda upset I'm not meeting personal deadlines ^^"
