Just Checking In -- Various Going's-On In Morgan's Life
Hey there, guys:
Well, nothing too interesting has been going on for me. If you guys check my main journal regularly, you know I got broke and had to let it fade to an unpaid account. The only trauma for me is the icons -- I'm such an icon-whore I still haven't figured out what to do about this particular dilemna.
Though, considering how broke and jobless I am, losing icons is the least of my worries, lols. Here's to hoping I find a new job soon. Until then, me and Ab's are working on getting a site up so she can take commissions, and things of that nature --- woot for freelancing getting us through this recession, lols. Hopefully that should be up soon. ^^;;
Oh, hey, some good things: it's finally dropped below 70*F around me. I'm able to break out my sweaters, dance in fallen leaves, and go visit apple orchards with family. Soon I'll even be able to break out my Halloween decorations. I love fall. It used to be my favorite season, until my SADs got strong enough to really interfere with things. It's something I'm working on getting under control, though, and I still love this season.
Well, Abby and I had a big discussion the other day, and I was able to remind her how important to me my writing is. It turned out great -- she knew before, but she didn't understand it as deeply as was neccesary. Now she's being great about it, and it's really encouraging for me, as well.
It's strange -- most people have things like school, education, and getting a good job as their priorities. I have writing, lols. And I'm okay with that. I don't think I could live any other way: when I try, I just end up miserable. I watch things like previews for Survivor and think how miserable I'd be without a notebook; I think that if I were ever homeless, I'd probably spend food money on notebooks and writing utensils, etc. It's just funny, since so much of America has a completly different order of things.
That said, I've mostly decided not to do NaNoWriMo. It's easy to be lured in by the peer pressure and the desire to begin a Shiny New Project, but I know in the end that it would just end up stressing me out and being detrimental to my serials, writing process, and a whole host of other things. Blech. So while it's going to suck to try to step outside the peer pressure, I think it's best for me.
Speaking of things that are best for me, I'm thinking when Larkenia returns in a few months I'm going to work on figuring out an ending to post. That way fans won't feel like I ditched them mid-flow. It's a bit scary -- I want to move on from Larkenia, but it's such a part of me. It was my web serial gateway drug, and the way that most of you guys came to know me. Leaving anything behind that is that strongly and deeply a part of me is scary, I guess, but when it's something creative it's even more frightening -- think of JK Rowling now that Harry Potter is done, etc. Fans are going to be comparing everything she's ever done to that -- not that Larkenia is anywhere near HP status, but the same general concept applies.
It's just that my creativity and focus has taken my elsewhere. I'm just hoping my readers will understand. ^^;; I mean, mutant lesbians have their own appeal, right? Lols.
That's all for now. Thanks for listening, guys.

ETA: Figured out the great icon catastrophe of 2008, lols. Now I think I have too many per emotion, lols.
