I always forget to update. :B
I am alive! And I have jury duty tomorrow morning, so I'm unhappy.
Also, despite spending two weeks not writing, I defeated my first NaNoWriMo and made it my bitch. Cranking out 3000 words a night was not as difficult as it initially seemed when I decided to start writing again in the middle of November. If I hadn't been so dead tired from work during all that time, it would've been pretty therapeutic. What I churned out was crap, granted, but I found I really liked my characters, and I really kind of liked the world building I did, so I'm glad I found something original I could finally write about. I've been so worried that I'm incapable of writing characters that don't belong to me, but I'm happy I found original characters I enjoyed and didn't feel like shameless Mary Sues and self-inserts.
Winning NaNo was pretty good, and the Thanksgiving holiday was also good. I spent a lot of time with friends and family, and it was pretty relaxing. I'm always happy when I get to spend time away from work and with people I actually like, so there's that.
But now that NaNo is over, I feel like I have this void in my life, which I've been attempting to fill by mindlessly watching cartoons and anime. I have all these RP journals that I've set up, but I have yet to do anything with them. I guess I'm just too paranoid and insecure to do anything lololololol.
Gonna have to remember to bring my laptop with me to jury duty and use their free Wifi. :(
