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? What do you just want to talk about?

Chores and other not-fun things count!

I was just thinking of this comm today. I hope you're okay, admin.

Accomplished:
2 comic sketches. This was entirely done for practice AND brainstorming something I want to make soon. I learned a lot but I'm really tired rn so just read my latest liveblog (https://zenigotchas.dreamwidth.org/427939.html) and then follow up (https://zenigotchas.dreamwidth.org/428578.html) about it if you're curious what I've learned.

I DID start something for sweetandshort but I've been so tired, busy and stressed that it's still a draft and I really don't feel like finishing it rn. It's Mario fanfiction.... I have not written that since I was in highschool, lol.

I also did more perspective drawings? If I'm remembering right? Yes I did. And I started working on my chickens. I had a bit of breakdown while I did it but I'm more grounded and ready to figure them out... I did a lot of drawing just for fun too which was a welcome change of pace.

I read more of my book today. I've been avoiding finishing it because it's boring as hell. I think this is proof I should look up analysis for it because it's probably really deep if it's so boring to me.

I skipped celebrating Thanksgiving which was good self care for me.

I'm doing fine, work is just tiring me out.

Do you have any backup mods who can help run the comm?

[silvercat17]

I'm the only mod, but the comm so far hasn't needed any actual moderating. There are at least two people who have pinch-hit before when I was having a hard time remembering to put up a post.

There's no restriction on who can post the weekly check-in and it doesn't have to be limited to weekends. I'll move and revise that line in the pinned post

I'm curious as to what book you are reading... Sometimes I take a break when a book gets boring. Then I go back to it in a few weeks or months. Sometimes we just aren't in the right head space, you know what I mean?

[zenigotchas]

Oh this is a short story by Anton Chekhov, aptly titled A Boring Story. I don't want to take a break cuz I wanna be over with it already, plus I am getting back into reading so anything that makes me read, no matter how boring, is worth it to me.

Okay! That's good! And a good attitude to have! :)
