Winter Olympics and openings

Feb 17, 2018 21:34

I always forget how much I love the Winter Olympics until I start watching them and I was thinking about why. I remember being little and sitting with my grandmother on the top floor of my parents' house and watching them. Then when I was a little older I saw The Cutting Edge, a movie I know by heart. Also I discovered that Courtney Milan, one of my favorite romance authors loves figure skating. I've been learning so much from her Twitter feed especially for the men's event. It's been making me content and inspiring some fics including a fic inspired by someone else's moodboard from Tumblr. I messaged them to let them know I was writing something and realized that its more inspired than exact than I'd realized. It does make me nervous but I'm going to try and put both those ficlets out there before the end of the Winter Games. I'm trying to embrace; find an end, put the words out there and not worry too much about everyone else.

In hopeful news, today and yesterday, I've been putting myself out there in good ways. I went to a Captain Awkward meetup at the public library that was really nice and I plan on going to others. I still want to do more social things and figure out when I'm going to see Black Panther. Then this weekend, my job agency had a conference, where I didn't know how many people might want to talk to me, library job openings are rare at schools. I ended up having four interviews and a lot of good conversations. As time has gone on, it's wonderful to realize that I don't have as much to explain of why I see libraries as I do.
