I am so close to being done with this third draft for some oneshot I've been writing, like I'm literally only a few sentences away from it being done, then I can edit it.

I did get some art shit done though! Just practice sketches so I can draw my faves better :) That was a lot easier than I expected, actually. Lol.

Good luck to everyone else working on stuff! ദ്ദി ( ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ )
EDIT: I'M IN THE EDITTING PHASE WOOOOO!

WOOOOOOO EDITING! GO GO GO!

Currently I'm doing laundry. Last night I posted 17 Thundercats icons that for some reason didn't crosspost, but it's probably for it to crosspost today. https://silvercat17.dreamwidth.org/135844.html

I'm trying to do two icon challenges, so next I'm going to do icons from the excellent (new) comic series Willam of Newbury. (all-ages anthro comic, set during the Anarchy in England, star is a raccoon priest who banishes demons. Described as Hellboy meets Usagi Yojimbo)

I need to go to the comic store and get the third issue which came out this week, but it's 108.5F / 42.5C outside according to my dad's thermometer and I don't want to die.

[dianec42]

Yay for icons and comics! Boooooo for insanely hot weather. Please don't die, I think we can all agree on that.

Mike L finished a rectangle shirt a couple days ago. There's now a patchwork shirt of the same time waiting to be done.

And a vivarium whose naturalistic hardscaping is 80% done - it has a few more sections of silicone and coconut coir to go, then trimming the edges.

Ooh, those all sound awesome!

(goes down a rabbit hole about vivariums... vivaria? ...)

I just started a new WIP, entitled Fire And Ice, which involves ice dancing and LGBTQ+ themes [cisgay/trans man romance]. I want to get another chapter done this week and see if I can start this other WIP that's been poking at my brain.

I have a week with NO APPOINTMENTS for the first time in months, so maybe I might be able to get some coloring or doodling done too. I also need to do some cleaning, though that's not particularly creative.

[silvercat17]

non-creative accomplishments totally still count!

I got a job! Fully remote, lovely people, interesting data. Moderate number of hoops to jump through. Starting this coming Tuesday!

I have had almost no brain or coordination for working on the Hawaiian shirt quilt. I've done a small amount of cross stitch (a Mill Hill Halloween piece). Even that has had the occasional screw-up and undo.

I've also been puttering with coloring and playing with washi tape in my bullet journal, as well as doing a bit of wardrobe design.

I'm frustrated that I can't find general resources on garment engineering(*), so I may need to write my own. Things like, how are drawstring pants affected by the material & dimensions of the drawstring; what are all these seams on my hiking pants for; how can I make XYZ garment with pockets that will hold a modern iPhone without skewing the entire garment, and so on. If anyone knows of a general resource, or even what the hell it's actually called, please let me know!

(*) What I'm thinking of is not what's called "garment engineering" in the industry. I'm interested in how to design individual garments to be comfortable and functional, plus the theory of what all the structural elements are and what they all do. I'm having a heck of a time googling for this.

So, this week:

- Second therapy session
- editing done
- one scene done on one story

The therapy is knocking me for a loop and making it very hard to be creative before Wednesday or so (Therapy is Friday mornings). It's like the brain scramblies can't straighten out for that long. It sucks.

[dianec42]

Oh, that sounds so hard! Good luck. I hope the therapy will help, once you get through this part.

Hang in there!
