I have written on a random romance that I started at the beginning of January. It's sitting at just over 13,700 words. So, I guess I'm a romance writer now? I have no idea.

I'm still packing, so the fact that I wrote over 13k in January is a miracle. But the packing goes apace. Tomorrow, I'm going to clean my room and make sure that I have everything in it packed, then I will move on to my Son's room and do the same thing. Then next is the kitchen, which we're still using, sadly.

I just want things to get done, and since I'm not getting any help from the other adults in the household (one has an excuse the other two not so much) it's hard.

Hey, good to see you! Sounds like you've got some fun projects going on 👍

I'm pretty sure that there's fandom history on our side if Trump does try to make yuri illegal; I don't think he can, or that he'd even necessarily want to, but fandom found ways to get Spirk stuff made and circulated when supporting gay relationships could cost you your job, your heterosexual marriage, your house, and your kids, so. In the mean time, let yuri lend you its strength!

This week I made a Tumblr poll about LiveJournal that got a bit more traction than I was expecting 😅 (Even if I'd anticipated thebibliosphere reblogging it, I certainly wasn't expecting her to be the second reblog!) The poll's not-so-secret purpose is to help me figure out if comparing Dreamwidth to LJ would boost interest in our beloved site more, and the numbers are not going the way I expected. If anyone wanted to boost that, or the post I made as a result actually comparing LJ and Dreamwidth, I would be pretty jazzed 👍


In other news! I've got an SVSSS pre-Bingqiu comedy fic in the works and could use a cheerleader. If any of that description sounded interesting to you, let me know?

[soc_puppet]

Holy cats, that is a lot of words written in a very busy situation! A round of applause for you!

[himejoshiheart]

1. yeah! including an if game thats at least 5k!

2. fair lol. if trump Does go after queer media he'd probably vanish in stars and time and/or cassette beasts, not elasticella's goddamn salad bar event lol

I want to finish my wedding horror short story and start the women of the weird west one

I have two tests to write

[zenigotchas]

I did more adulting related activities than creative ones but that's life sometimes.
On the other hand, I DID make a retrospective on January's art practice w/ some of my thoughts based off my cartoons and stuff (I will do something similar for my chickens too.....).

I want to do something for Black History Month and My usual music monday posts (so just listen to more metal albums with Black creatives behind them).

Idk most of the fun I had was reading Niestzche, watching Godzilla movies and ranking the monsters by cuteness (King Ghidorah will always win) and starting another short story (then I fell asleep, lol)

For January I had PLANS. I had 3 projects I was going to focus on. I got absolutely nothing done on any of them. Zero; zip; nada.

I've messed up my shoulder; first physical therapy appointment is the 13th of this month, so no playing the drums or rotary cutting anything. I'm not even sewing the pajama pants of many pockets - I'm working a bit too hard so haven't cleared a space in my craft room/office. I'm also straight-up dissociating due to US and world events.

The one thing I have been doing is cross stitch. I made some progress on the Haunted Graveyard, but the light is NOT fantastic, and counting is hard some days.

I needed something utterly mindless so I started on the fourth Christmas Pusheen; I've done everything except several acres of light gray. Not gonna lie, I don't know what my go-to for mindless cross stitch will be after that.

Also playing a lot of World of Warcraft, reading some wonderful short stories by Sarah Pinsker that I got for Christmas, and watching mindless police procedurals on TV (Shetland; Year of the Rabbit; Prime Suspect (okay that last one is not actually mindless but Helen Mirren kicks butt)).

[dianec42]

Good luck with the packing! That's hard all right. Hopefully you'll get through the packing & moving and be in a better place.

I'm working on a sermon for this evening. It's refusing to gel for me.

[paivansade]

I have been sick for the most part of the last two weeks, so it's difficult for me to get back in the game... But I spend three hours today working on a quilt top I started in January, and I am just 9 long seams away from finishing. I am very tired, but very happy that I accomplished something creative.

[zenigotchas]

That's okay. It sounds like it was still a good week overall! I hope your physical therapy helps you

[zenigotchas]

Good luck! Only 9 hours more to go!

[lumemiruuuuuuuuuuu]

1. im working on a love nikki fanart and a bakui one, i hope i can finish them at least the ln one 2day and idk ig i’ll finish the bakui one at school ;-;

[maevedarcy]

I finished a fic!

Now I'm preparing for the Valentine Madness Four or more event that starts this week.

Also, I started a fic for the TW rare ship V-day event

This is so productive, who knows how long it'll last

[silvercat17]

It's a tabletop role-playing game inspired by Digimon, Pokemon, and other anime with a monster companion.

[silvercat17]

I did a bunch of stuff today, mostly steps to finishing multiple projects. And finished the puzzle I got for Christmas

[grayestofghosts]

I got some mending that had been sitting on my dresser for a long time done, so that's one thing!

I've been consistently working on knitting a new sweater as well, so that's two.

My static site has been getting some updates in the last week or so so that's three I think.

[paivansade]

I actually finished the top last night, very pleased with it :)
