These last few days have been filled with writing-related angst to the tune of "Nothing is coming out the way that I want it to" and "I don't feel like writing epic historical fic and for some reason I feel guilty about that". Same old nonsense. TL;DR I should just write whatever the hell it is I want to write, but for some reason it isn't ( Read more... )

Came down with a cold earlier in the week, and I've been a mess ever since. Blech. It's mostly gone now, but I still feel tired and weak, and it's a real pain in the ass. Hell, I even went to bed at 10 PM last night. I don't even do that on a work-night. WTF is wrong with me ( Read more... )

So, I signed up for nordicromance. I highly encourage anyone with the time to do short fics/art to do it, too. It's basically the Nordipalooza format, but pairings-only, and Nordic characters only. Should be fun! And thank fuck that I don't have to mod it, heh.

Got some writing done. Did about 1000 words yesterday, I swear. And finished an entire scene. I'm so ( Read more... )

So. Friday, I headed down to Staples to grab a can of air and a cooling pad for my laptop. For a while now, I've had awful problems with it overheating, and finally I'd had enough. Man, opening it to blow out the dust was like doing surgery, ugh. I'd never taken the back off a computer before, so I was pretty nervous. Didn't help that the dust was ( Read more... )

I'm tired, so y'all get point-form notes.

✿ Work's going well. On the second day I was having major second-thoughts because that day did not go well at all and I came home rather upset, but... for the most part, it's been fine. It's still too early to tell whether I'm cut out for this job or not, but on the upside, I'm learning a lot. It's been ( Read more... )

Here's the verdict on my work so far: Reasonable get-up time, reasonable get-home time. And I get weekends! They seem to be on a rotation of 8-hour days for one five-day workweek, 10-hour days the next week. That's kind of weird, but compared to the "ten-hour workdays for ten days, then four days off" thing I had going before, I think I'll like ( Read more... )

The last few days have been busy as hell. At the same time, I haven't physically done anything, so saying that feels pretty strange ( Read more... )

Okay, so. First things first. I have a job! I start Tuesday! Pay isn't as great as what I had before, but the hours seem like they'll be less horrific, and - more importantly - I'll be working again. Awesome!

Anyway. Signups for easterneurofunk go live in the morning. I still have a lot of things I need to do - especially now that I'm going to be working, I ( Read more... )

Goddamn. Okay, this is a to-do list for the week. All fandom-related stuff (everything else, well, that's a different list). Maybe if I post it here, I'll be sure to get everything done!

( I cut because I care )

( Real-life tl;dr. Feel free to skip. )
