LJに帰った！
This little hiatus was something I dearly needed. Over the summer, I finally swallowed my delusions and admitted to myself that it wouldn't be financially possible for me to attempt to enter the JET Program for the 2017-2018 year. When I left English Club/Japan in 2015, it was my hope that I could return in a year or two. It was pretty crushing for me to accept that I couldn't go back to this country I love so much. So I found myself pulling away from the visual kei fandom in general. We all have coping methods and I guess that one was mine? I've since realized that was stupid, that I'll always love visual kei, and that even if I can't go back to Japan just yet I can still partake in the culture and the language until I can someday return. At least I have plenty of music to catch up on now. I'm so glad Ryoga and Lycaon have come back.
So my fanfic writing drive has returned. I tried to do NaNoWriMo this year and work on To Love a Vampire and bits of Paranormal Case Files. The weather in Michigan kept yo-yoing between summery weather and wintery weather so I kept coming down with a cold, or I had headaches... Health issues and work made it difficult for me to work on NaNoWriMo and pretty soon I fell way behind. So I gave up and decided I need to just focus on finishing things instead of trying to start up on other ideas later in my series.
I have a fic in my demons universe that I'll post either today or tomorrow. Then I'm going to work on finishing Second Chances so I can get poor MiA out of Jin's claws.
As usual my hands are screwed up so I'll work on writing whenever I can and daydreaming about my series when they don't want to cooperate with me. It's gotten to the point where I'm now meeting with a surgeon -- sadly, not until January 23. I keep hoping someone will cancel so I can get in to see him sooner. And because my job was screwing up my hands so badly I had to repeat last year and quit. I need my hands to last me a lifetime so I'll be working on strenghtening them and figuring out what the hell I want to do with my life. Sometimes I wish I could just go back to being a student again.
