March, heck of a month
So yeah, been a while...
Okay, the good news is I got a new full-time job at this company I'd been freelancing for. Started this week. Three month probation period, but that's shorter than the last place I worked for, so that is something. I'm already really enjoying it there, it's a genuinely nice place to work. Like seriously: pool table, free gym, free fruit, and a bunch of other benefits.
The past week, I've started knuckling down on bang/challenge writing projects, which apparently I have a million at the moment. There's a page in my main notebook that has a table now of everything I've signed up to. Eight challenges across Supernatural and Check, Please! fandoms. A few are safe for dropping out of if I want to, but I'm aiming for shorter word counts for most of them doing mini bangs and the such like.
If I'm careful, I think I can finish a bunch of them over April for Camp NaNoWriMo, along with starting an original story I want to work on.
Plus, you know what? I am in love with the Sprinto Discord bot. I've set it up in a couple of bang Discord servers, but I set it up on a friends' server today as well, with its own channel. I just find sprints a real good way to get words down when I need to.
It's Mother's Day in the UK tomorrow (our date is tied into when Easter is happening, unlike most of the world) so unsure how much writing I'll get done Sunday... BUT I have figured out timings with my new job that I'll either have an hour for lunch, which I can use some of for writing or I can leave half hour early at the end of the day.
Yeah definitely need to carve out writing time at the moment.
