[Check-In]

[kalloway]

It's (almost) the end of September! If you get a chance, look through your list/notes/etc. and if you want, scrap anything that isn't working. (Or put it aside for later. Recycling is good!)


This is a check-in post! You do not have to check in if you don't want to and there are no requirements for what you need to check in with. This is your space, so have at!


Feel free to talk about success, frustration, current projects, nagging projects, exciting projects, and everything else going on.


If you have a deadline, you can do it! If you need a deadline, they're available.

So I ended up bombing out of luxken27's Summer Mini Challenge because I just did not manage my time wisely all summer and over-committed. I'm definitely re-evaluating how I tackle projects and hopefully will come out all the better for it.

I do have the fics I wrote/started/planned, etc. and am working on cleaning them up to put on AO3. Other stuff, too. I'll get there.

Good luck with finishing your fics:)

[kalloway]

Thank you~

Carried on with the felt doll. Feeling quite satisfied so I've been thinking of other dolls to make. I may change my views after I've made and styled the wig. I haven't done that before.

Have decided to post more regularly in my journal as I haven't been doing so for ages and also because my fic writing Muse is still on holiday so it's some form of writing!

[kalloway]

Excellent! Is it a yarn wig or otherwise?

I'm trying to make more journal posts, too, (and reminding myself that it's good for keeping track of things even if it's not super-exciting for anyone reading.) ^^;;

[liadt]

Thank you!

Fake fur, much nicer than yarn, well, my attempt at a yarn wig anyway! Cutting it short was quite stressful in case I messed up. Just needs a bit of styling and all I've got left is the most important part: the eyes, eek!

The muse has decided to take a break.

[kalloway]

iirc, it's earned it. Wake it back up when you're both ready?

This month has gone so terribly, I can't even English!

I've got one day with zero words, two days with less than a hundred words, and FAR too few words compared to my planned goal for the month.

I'm a little more than halfway to the goal I'd set. I am SO bummed out.

Re: Terrible

You know, when I was studying, I was paying rent - 400 out of the 450 I had in a month without extra work - and I really really wanted to buy something tasty to eat... well, I made myself think of really poor kids in India and it helped... just - the knowledge that I'm still much better off than many.

I mean to say: I've written less than you, I'd be happy to be more than halfway there, I envy you! Hope this helps, I really mean it :)

Re: Terrible

[dialecticdreamer]

Thank you. It truly helps.

I'm not a 'glass half full' person. When I realize that the glass is less than full, I start flipping out and realize that I've actually DROPPED the glass at some point.

Yeah.

Re: Terrible

[howsmyenglish]

I'm trying to think of the other extreme: a person, whose glass is always empty and who flips out when it gets filled even a little. I wonder, if he is more sad or happy...

I liked your writing, by the way.

Thank you!

I still didn't go back to writing which is not nearly as annoying as I thought it would be.

I'm crossing out this round of Trope Bingo, and I'm starting to think about the novel I'll write for NaNoWriMo.

[kalloway]

I think it's the time of year when a lot of us are taking little breaks. ^^;; That's fine.

I haven't thought about NaNo yet. Hmm.

Posted the little radio play, gearing up to do the last of the podfics-on-a-deadline. Would really like to get back on the horse of putting words of fiction on paper, soon. Also, thinking about whether signing up for Yuletide would kill me. (There's this whole not-knowing-if-I'm-suddenly-going-to-be-full-time-employed factor that's making it hard to plan.)

[kalloway]

Yay~ good luck with that last deadline and whatever comes after! (I definitely know the feeling-- in the last five months I've gone from no-overtime-ever to working for more than a month straight and raaaandom weekends randomly so signing up for anything is more of a gamble than ever.)
