(no subject)
I somehow managed to stumble through setting up and promoting Troubled Tales despite the things going on in my personal life. I have a few thousand words written on the opening for fics for that and the darkfic exchange, and I've signed up for Spook Me to write another instalment of the Audrey/Duke/Nathan series. I don't know if things will resume as before with fandom, but I'm still picking away at it. I had to default on Rare Pair, but will hopefully finish that (projected to be quite long) fic at a later time.
I've made it through the weekend that would have been the annual major holiday I spent going around places with dad (Heritage Open Days), the days I'd booked off work well in advance to do that. I have a driving lesson today. :/
I'm really tired of people telling me how terrible things are as if that is in any way a helpful thing to say when I am the one who is living inside it and has to try and make something of this situation and reinstate some sort of actual life. (Do not reply to this post with any variation of 'But it is terrible' as the person I expressed this sentiment to IRL did yesterday. I mean, for fuck's sake. Basically: things are difficult enough without that kind of exterior negative reinforcement from people who have far less emotional involvement in the situation. I'm not looking to hold it against people who mean well but when I literally just said 'Don't'...)
