Just Create: Potato fruit edition

[dianec42]

Did you know that potato plants produce fruit? I did not know this until this summer.

What are you working on? What have you finished? What do you need encouragement on? Are there any cool events or challenges happening that you want to hype?

Chores and other not-fun things count!

Remember to encourage other commenters!

I have updated my bullet journal, which I hadn't done for over 3 weeks. Go me.

I finally caught Covid so that's about all I have the energy for.

Did not mention it before but I did finish writing my fanfic and it feels good to have it done since it was something I started last year and then forgot. I tried something new by pantsing it. This next one I am planning and I prefer that method and am doing okay with it! I am still so new to writing (I REALLY need to sit down and finally start reading books for creative writing! That would help a lot). I then thought of a few sequel ideas for my recently finished fic, so that is nice.

I started working on a new bio which is cool.

I also have been working on some original fiction, at the very least, brainstorming ideas based off prompts and trying to dissect works I like to see what makes them tick and why I enjoyed certain parts and why I didn't enjoy other parts.

I'm stuck on the 1290 project. I can't actually write the thing!

I have been getting ready for two job interviews this week.

But, I have started a new werewolf story! I don't know where it's going or what's going on, but I. Am. Writing. That's the important part!

I did know about potatoes. Trouble is, humans have bred potatoes to the point that few of them are capable of reproducing sexually anymore. They're almost all clones. And there's a limit to how long you can copy anything before it just quits working. This isn't the only clone-dominated crop -- garlic, onions, and some others are in similar straits -- and even many crops produced from seed are badly damaged and no longer reproduce well.
