Just Create - Sweat Edition

[silvercat17]

What are you working on? What have you finished? What do you need encouragment 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 and we have a discord where we can do work-alongs and stuff, linked in the sticky

Events I'm running or participating in this month:
Pirate Fest on AllBingo - digital or nautical piracy themed prompts for anything you want to make
Small Web September
Communal Creators - finish projects in September and October

It's hot and I'm very tired of dripping with sweat, but thus is my lot in life

Oh those sound fun, especially the digital piracy stuff lol.

Progress:
Fanfiction.... Luckily shorter stuff so it won't take up all my time. One is gonna be a 3 sentence fic because I want to experiment and try other types of shortform storytelling.

Drawing goals... Did smaller goals for the days I didn't have the spoons to do everything. So a lot of studying has been accomplished UwU

"Analysis" related stuff for certain interests.... I started writing down some points of interest in some stories I like and my theories about where things are going or why creators chose certain things

Original stuff.... Just outlining things.

All in all I'm finding systems that work for me. Tables/charts, outlining stuff with index cards (yep I'm more of a plotter). My only issue is that I like overloading stories with information, there is going to be A LOT of darlings to be murdered.

.......I need to draw more for fun!
Everythin' else
I did so much laundry....
I need to do the dishes soon as well

I replaced the layout of my personal page with something mobile friendly but now I feel like it looks too sterile so I'll have to go in and change up some colors or fonts from the template default.

I have a to-do list for the Small Web September & Communal Creators. Right now I'm doing laundry. After dinner, when it's a bit cooler I want to work on my display case.

I am getting better... threw out all the sad fruits and veggies from the fridge that went bad while we weren't eating them, and actually made a grocery run today to replace them with new ones we will actually eat! I'm very excited about no longer living on baloney sandwiches and Larabars lol.

I have done a little work on a Mill Hill cross stitch kit and one of the Christmas Pusheens. I still cannot be trusted with the good fabric. Soon, I hope!

Thursday (assuming I test negative) I am going to a local museum with a bunch of friends from the hiking club. We've made it our mission to see all the glass exhibits. I am looking forward to seeing art and being inspired.

summerofthe69 is finally over for 2024, phew! It's open for Amnesty fills, but I don't have to do anything for that weekly.

I did a couple loads of laundry this week, as well as changed my sheets and got those folded and washed as well. I also cleaned out a corner of my room that I'd neglected for quite some time, and got some of my books better arranged/stored.

Finally, just for fun, I decided to throw together a jellyfish mood theme. And then made five other colors for it, because why not. I also took the opportunity to ask about submitting them to be site-supported mood themes (and thus usable by anyone, paid account not needed), and apparently that's going to happen now? And same for my fancy rats mood theme? And I am very, very excited about that ♥

working on my pirate bingo card and signed up for spook_me for two stories (because surely I have the time) and still plugging away on wipbigbang and fandomgiftbasket (which could use some help)

I worked on my slipper soles and blanket stitched one sole together. I'm using several layers of an old pair of jeans as the sole. I have the slipper part knit already.

I have the pieces of the second one cut already so I'm hoping to do that soon.

Today I made tofu chili for the first time with homemade tofu beef substitute crumbles. It turned out OK but a bit sweet. It did make a fairly satisfying part of a chili cheese dog.

I also worked on the pair of knit socks I'm working on. I'm almost to the toe decreases so I'm about 3/4 done.

I've got Bible study to write and the 1290 project to work on.

September: Finish editing Narissia and Steampunk. These are down to the last few scenes and I really need to kill them dead. I've slacked off because therapy wrecked my brain, so time to get back on the horse.

October: Finish editing Boybands. I'm about halfway through with it. If I finish Boybands, I can start editing something else.

I need to work on laundry again today, but haven't gotten that far yet (I have not made it out of bed yet). I doubt I will before I have to get ready for Writer's Group. (It's Sunday; I'm allowed)

But, I've written almost 15k of Werewolves, so... ya know, that's something!

Almost ready to sew together two quilted panels for a skate bag's sides. Which will be close to meeting that project's goal for the month of finishing that part of it.
