cjmarloweWell, all the cool kids are doing it...
I really do mean to post to DW more often and then I get busy and I forget and then the effort of stringing words together in a meaningful way to describe my day, week, month, whatever seems like so much work. (Immediately upon thinking this I feel like I should revoke my writer card.)
» I did something atrocious to my knee last week, and I should probably see a doctor about it but I've had intermittent knee problems since a track injury in high school and they usually work themselves out so I haven't yet. If it doesn't legit improve over the weekend I'll go on Monday, maybe. It seems to be getting better, but then maybe I'm just adapting to a new baseline normal.
» Last weekend I worked on a short film, for the first time in ages, and it was exhausting in the best ways. I really wonder sometimes why I let me life go in a different direction from the things I clearly love doing. And then I remind myself it's not too late, and mid-30s isn't actually that old, and I just have to figure out what I want to do most instead of letting more time just slip on by.
» To that end, been writing much more, and starting to see patterns in my (original) work that I didn't see before. I think for a long time I didn't feel like I had an identity, as a writer, that I was unfocused and all over the place thematically and stylistically. And there's nothing actually wrong with that, a person can write in a lot of different genres, but I didn't feel like I was doing them all well so I've got a sense I'm in a much better place now. I just need to finish more.
» I've started posting fic directly to my AO3, bypassing the part where I link them from DW/LJ. Mostly because I'm lazy, and also because a lot of it is for kink bingo and kink meme fills and by the time I format the information in three different ways for three different places I'm ready to, like, get a snack or go for a walk or something. :) Maybe I'll do another post to link a few of them, because this seems to be getting kind of long...
Till next time, mes amis!
