Just Create - Three Weeks for Dreamwidth week 2

[silvercat17]

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?

What do you just want to talk about?

What have you been watching or reading?

Chores and other not-fun things count!

Remember to encourage other commenters and we have a discord where we can do work-alongs and chat, linked in the sticky

Today is also Free Comic Book Day, so I hope if you're into comics you've visited your Local Comic Shop! (I did and yesterday too just in case it was too busy today to browse)

I made moar art. See here: https://drawesome.dreamwidth.org/285828.html and here: https://zenigotchas.dreamwidth.org/547527.html

And I made moar icons (haven't posted them yet)

Otherwise the rest of the week has been about adulting.

I like your art style :] I like how round it is, and the faces!

Other than (trying) to study, I've been writing a bunch of poems lately (I'm still questionable at them). I'm finally back to writing stuff of Rainbowfic, and I'm also writing fics to a controversial ship (I'm posting them on anon mode on AO3...).

Still doing a small drawing every day, I'm really proud of how this one came out in particular: https://www.tumblr.com/power-handmaiden/782125414262980608/day-118-sackens-velvet-ant?source=share

Made literally no progress on that larger drawing I keep saying I want to finish! Well, the deadline is the end of this week so that will surely light a fire under my ass.

I don't usually have a to-be-read pile but right now I'm in the middle of Alien Clay by Adrian Tchaikovsky (checked out from the library, need to read that this month for my book club), also borrowed the print version/need to read Volume 3 of Unsounded, ALSO am in the middle of Volume 4 of TGCF, which I have already read but I am re-reading the whole series (long story that is, weirdly, work-related lol)

Your bug is cute!

Keep up those small goals too!

Theme voting for 2025 is open at summerofthe69! There's a whopping forty-four potential themes to pick from this year, so it's a good thing there's an interesting bonus question at the end of the poll 👀

You don't have to intend to participate to vote in the poll, BTW! You just have to be interested in any of the listed themes being official in this year's fest. If you think it'd be cool for someone to create something for one of those themes, whether that person is you or not, feel free to vote! The poll is also open to all Dreamwidth users, not just community members.

I've been distributing zines locally -- I gave out a bunch at my writing group on Thursday and put some in a few of the Little Free Libraries.

I have been continuing to add new links and preserve meta from Tumblr on my website. I've started a new page on archives on the web and how to do archiving yourself, so if you have any resources you think should be linked I'd be much obliged to have them.

I've been rereading the novel that I've been working on for two years and while I have found some sections I like, I really feel like it needs very substantial rewrites. I don't know, it's exhausting but I feel like I need to read/make notes on everything I have before I actually get to the editing.

I'm working on writing final exams and I desperately need to start on either of my two short stories for open calls

I got a new album of magickal songs out last week; now I have to update my records of what songs have appeared where, and I have some lyric sheet organizing to do, and gardening stuff, and (always) a bunch of other stuff...

But I'm elated that I got the music recorded and out! (If anyone wants to have a listen, look here: https://wylddandelyon.bandcamp.com/ )
