Working on a few crochet and loom knitting projects on and off, as well as reading Secrets of the Sprakkar by Eliza Reid. I meant to start building a new DW community tonight, but I ended up vegging out instead. Hopefully I can make some headway tomorrow or Sunday on all of these projects.

I'd love to check out the Discord. Are the work-alongs voice chats for doing chores and the like, or is it sessions where everyone works on their various crafts (crochet, painting, etc.)?

I wish you the best of luck with your projects!

Currently working on a worldbuilding poem.

Recently my groundcherries started ripening are quite tasty! Though tiny, these have a pineapple flavor rather different from the ones I buy at the store.

summerofthe69 is approaching its end -- it wraps up on September 6.

>> What do you just want to talk about? <<

Lots of new people came to Dreamwidth after Othercon, so watch for them and encourage them to stick around.

>> What have you been watching or reading? <<

We just finished a season of RWBY. I'm not sure what we'll pick next but probably live-action. I recently started reading Miss Amelia's List by Mercedes Lackey.

I've barely managed to keep up with watering things outside because it has been so hot. :P But it's cooler now so maybe I'll get more done. The first fall bulbs arrived and I planted 3 irises. :D

Been spending this week whittling away at this nifty not-so-little questionnaire—which has so far been a fair enough pivot from my prior pivot of a sequel project I decided to start on earlier than previously intended. Said sequel project has also been taking some increasingly poignant turns as far as my ideation goes; at this rate, it might work out to be even more of a vent piece than its predecessor (which is saying something)…

On another note, I’ve started school again—albeit, through an asynchronous online-only course, so that’s (hopefully) not much for me to worry about so long as I keep my deadlines appropriately in mind.

Best of luck with school and your class! :D Hopefully you enjoy it!

I spent the summer injured and unable to draw. Now that I'm healed up I'm trying to come up with ideas to draw and blanking, which is very funny.

Meanwhile I'm working on ficlets to post for the fun of it, to recapture my joy. Also, trying a lot of new recipes.

[a_natural_beauty]

What are ficlets? I'm sure you'll be able to get back to drawing soon - best of luck! :)

[minoanmiss]

Aww thank you!

Ficlets are short fanfics (they rely on being fanfics for being able to be short)

[a_natural_beauty]

You're welcome :)

[teslac0ils]

Been a while since I checked in here! I moved which was taking up most of my spare time. Still managed to keep up with daily drawing despite it all, the new years resolution remains unbroken!!

This week I really need to unpack more and get to my art supplies. The sketchbook I am using right now is almost out of space...

[silvercat17]

Yeah, moving will do that! Nice to see you back

[a_natural_beauty]

I hope you get some neat things drawn in your sketch book! :) That sounds like fun ~

[silvercat17]

I remembered to get this up on Friday!

I've been posting to my tarot/oracle card tumblr and volunteering at the cat rescue. I have an online thing today to set-up my new bullet journal with another person that needed to set up hers.

[a_natural_beauty]

Aww, that's nice you are a volunteer. I used to volunteer at my local shelter and have been thinking about going back to it. :)

[dragonjournal]

I am... Less than pleased. The movers, when we moved in February didn't put my bed back together correctly, so now it's broken a bit, and we have to fix it.

Plus, I've barely written all week. No crochet to be seen. I'm cranky about it.

[a_natural_beauty]

I'm sorry to hear that, I hope things get easier for you. Hopefully you find time to work on what brings you joy ~

[a_natural_beauty]

I've been sort of all over the place with my projects. My comic, my stamp collection, cleaning up my office room, my art room and working on reading 5 books now (it didn't originally start off as 5 but now I am reading two library books before they are due! ^^). Also I want to get some outdoor work done around my yard and flowerbeds.

I made a new recipe today/yesterday. It is two parts, the pancakes & the fruit sauce. I didn't have blueberries so I used strawberries instead. https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/masa-harina-pancakes-with-blueberry-sauce-recipe

They turned out very tasty. And the berry sauce is way more then is needed for 1 batch of pancakes. So we may end up using it on something else or freezing it, maybe.

I've been actively reading two series of books, one on audio, one on digital. The audio series is the Guide to dating Vampires, a queer vampire romance with lots of Worldbuilding. Per usual romance it focuses on one couple per book but they aren't all part of the same friend group. They are interconnected via other ways and it's fun to see how they all are connected without knowing it. The setting is focused in one city and it is very good. It feels real and systemical oppression of vamps is a big theme of all the books.

The digital books I'm reading are part 3 & 4 of the light novel series Ascendance of a Bookworm. They had all of part 3 & some of part 4 available at one in the library so I'm fighting the urge to ignore all my responsibilities to binge read them all.
