In the wink of a young girl's eye
An actual non-fic entry! Wow. I am feeling mentally exhausted today, so I suspect there will be no fic tonight. Instead, you can listen to me ramble!
♥ Had to help deal with several crisis at work, and I found out that my schedule might be changing next week. Don't know for sure yet, so I can't even mentally prepare. If it does change, I'll be working Mon-Wed from like 530a-6p, so having four days off=bonus! but three 12 hour days=Inell zzzzz so I'm not yet sure which outcome I want. Four days to chill out, run errands, play with my dogs, and write might be work three days of braindeadness with a possibility of perhaps writing a bit at work during down time *sneaky* so I don't know.
♥ I am still writing! Obviously, since I've been spamming everyone for weeks now. Heh. Sorry? I've been so excited to be writing again that I just post as I write instead of patiently waiting, which means y'all are probably sick and tired of seeing fic from me. LOL
♥ I have been working on the Challenge prompts given by y'all for my fic writing anniversary next month. If you haven't left a prompt and want to, go here! I have some ideas for several of the unanswered ones. I'll get back to answering them when I finish writing some of the prompts I've been using from hp_het_taboo to challenge myself to get out of my comfort zone. I've been extremely happy with the results, even if they're not my usual favorite romantic happy ending fics.
♥ I've been going back through my LJ from day 1 tagging entries, and I found about two dozen ficlets that I never marked anywhere so I had to get those uploaded on my website. I'm also cringing at the ridiculousness that was "Inell in 2004/2005" (so far). Good grief. I was highly annoying and insecure about my writing in an obnoxious way. How did y'all stand me??? And all the memes! OMG. So many horrible memes. But I refuse to delete anything, no matter how cringe worthy, because it's a bit like a time capsule, and I find it so amusing to look back a decade later and see "Ugh Weasleys, especially Ron!" and now I love writing Ron a lot and enjoy Hermione/All the Weasleys!
♥ My look back at the past has also reminded me of some amazing people who have come and gone through my life. Some are still around (velvetwhip, tamlane, florahart and more) and others have just disappeared. A few left my life due to wanky events that were either out of my control or couldn't really be fixed, and others just left for RL or fandom changes with no backwards look, and they all make me sad to read my posts about now so many years later. Especially all those whose journals are completely gone now.
♥ I'm also impressed by how much my writing has improved IMHO. I don't even understand why I wrote so many POV switches before. I think my experiencing RPing really helped my ability to tell a story with details and descriptions that could let a reader visualize. At least, I hope I have? It's tough to ever know, really, if you accomplish what you want. I've reached a point now where I enjoy writing for myself, and it's awesome if people comment or leave kudos at AO3 or whatnot but I'm happy regardless. It's nice to be satisfied without worrying about so many silly things that just make writing become more like a job than enjoyment.
♥ I have been indulging one of my few kinks that is pretty damn kinky lately. That is the gangbang! LOL I don't even know why, but I've always liked those. Of course, considering the first thing I ever wrote was a threesome triad thing, it probably isn't too surprising that I like gangbangs. I've written two in the last week (Hermione/Multiple Partners in "Bliss" and Astoria/Multiple Partners in "Slumming It") and I have two ideas for somewhat darker twisted not so consensual types based on some prompts at Het Taboo that I might attempt because they'd be a nice conflict of indulging my gangbang kink but a challenge because I dislike non-con.
♥ My most spoiled dog is jealous of my laptop and has taken to either trying to squirm his way onto my lap when I'm trying to write or trying to destroy something to get my attention on him. This is after I play with him and spend time with both my demon dogs before taking time to myself. I knew I should have named Loki or Lucifer instead of Bandit. LOL
♥ How are y'all doing? Having a good week so far? Ready for October? Take a moment to comment and say hi or boo or whatever! I'd love to know who is actually out there reading my rambling nonsense.
