"Serious people are great for everyone but themselves."
I actually wrote some original fiction work today...! *raises a trembling V sign*
Oh man, does it bring home how badly I miss spending proper time on my writing. My professional development is going so much slower than it was three years ago, and I wasn't even working three years ago. That's probably why, of course. Working as an editor and writer is great, but unless you're in publishing, it gets too technical and marketing-oriented to be much use to me. :/
Ah well. ♥ I'll be moving to something with more time and creativity soon! I've got a few places I'm applying to, and one I've done some commission work for once or twice. I reckon I can wiggle in a part-time job there. It's very enjoyable and I can work from home, since all of the materials are online.
And then I'll get back to actually properly looking over my work and building on it. Yes. Because right now, I look at my stuff and sigh. Not that I don't love writing my stories, and also the fanfiction I still manage to heave out there, but it's glaringly obvious to me that I'm not putting my all into it. You don't get to argue with me, if you feel inclined, because it's an honest observation. From myself. Bwahaha. Take a cookie and shush it.
... This post has absolutely no point, except that I feel like I should post to this journal more often and today I was considering my technique. So yeah. 'Sup.
Right.
Gonna go make my writing journal now. It's nice to have a night to be productive.
EDIT: OH MY GOD! I almost forgot! I've been considering doing a timestamp meme thingie whatsit - you know, people can request tiny drabbles taking place before/after/during certain parts of fics you've written - but then I realized I-I have too many WIPs that it might be stupid. Is it stupid? It's probably stupid. Oh god, I fail. But would something like that be fun or ridiculous?
