With Tumblr in danger once again, I'm creating guides to Dreamwidth! There's a post I want to make soon about the role of icons on DW, and I really want to include some communities where people can find some free ones to use and/or learn how to make them. Anyone have any suggestions? (dreamsheep is already on my list 😉)

[elyusion]

I thank you for your efforts! I really hope we get more active users. I get the appeal of a quiet site, but I wish more communities were more active and stuff. 🍀🍀🍀

There's always icons to find some, and I find icontalking to be useful for tutorials and resources - there's a post pinned with a list of active icon communities.

Trying to put together a youtube channel about my city's best cycling routes. The concept is pretty simple, "straight(ish) line" back streets over noisy, smelly, main road infrastructure, but the research is enormous (a city of 5.6 million people that I often call "the Paris of the South Seas") and how to do the alternative cycling culture here justice is a many-headed dragon. It's still hidden because I'm trying to get my head around the storyboard for the pilot. And while I've done some "screentest" shooting, there's not a clear picture emerging for style and format yet. Episodes will be 14 to 15 minutes is about all I've got as a hard rule at this stage. And the name, "Backcycle." Oh, also that nebulous idea, above, about quiet, sometimes straighter back routes through residential streets.

It's a start, right? That's why I keep bashing my head against the wall.

That sounds like such a neat idea! Good luck!

I've been getting better on consistent creativity this year (1 drawing every day) but I want to get back to writing.

Specifically this fic I've outlined all of, and completed half of, that has no purpose but self-indulgence, but I'd like to see it all completed. Literally any progress on it this week would be good because I haven't touched it in months.

[mordell]

Good luck on your fic! (Even if it has No clear "Purpose" other than self-indulgence, would definitely be interested in knowing what it's about if you're inclined to share?)

[teslac0ils]

Thank you!

Hahahah I'm too embarrassed to talk about it in detail, it incorporates one of my nerdy interests and explicit NSFW. But I was having a lot of fun with it so I want to get back to it!

I am editing and writing a lot! I love the chance to rewrite a draft once I've put in all my notes and made it clear what needs fixed.

Today, though, I need to crochet and watch hockey. Because the hockey game comes on in 30 minutes, I'm going to edit a bit before it comes on.

ANYWAY, I've been doing stuff instead of becoming a pumpkin after work, which is nice too!

[teslac0ils]

What are you crocheting? I'm always interested in hearing what projects people work on outside of the cozy autumn/winter time.

[dragonjournal]

I'm making a blanket. With Joann's going out of business, my brother and I got a lot of yarn, so I'm crocheting him a blanket out of the first group of yarn and dunno what I'm doing with my yarn yet!

[teslac0ils]

Nice, and congrats on a good yarn haul! The one good thing about Joann's closing. (I'll to have to go back to going to Hobby Lobby to feel and look at the yarn, then order those brands online, lol)

[lilyhargrave]

Oh, I still have fanfic to post today! ...Fanfic I will soon be running out of, if I don't write more than I have been, buuut... I've a lot going on. I don't want to stress myself out over what's supposed to be an enjoyable hobby! :) So. Some sock knitting and some comfy writing it is tonight! After the fanfic posting, :)

[readera]

Im working on my knitting project made with some last of Joanne's yarn but I keep having to stop since my wrists are acting up. Plus rl keeps getting in the way, as it does.
