nnyThe world has conspired to give me a break today. Too little sleep, an entirely full computer room, a particularly slow downloading MS Office replacement, and a planned flatmate meal tonight all added together to make me very unproductive, and I'm cool with it. I have an essay due Monday but I am a hard working and organised individual and I can totes do this yo. :D
I think I needed this.
Progress so far on new year's resolution: I have written something every day. Once it was a journal post, and a couple of times it's been tiny snippety drabble things, but every day I have written something and I have not ever allowed myself to weasel out of it, and as a result I am slowly constructing a fic I've been meaning to write for three years and I am seriously happy with it. I have all the tabs of research open, and I think it's going to be reasonably long, and it really doesn't bother me that the only one who'll read it when I'm done will becatwalksalone.
I also appear to have a steadily evolving list of stories that I intend to write this year, so I won't be stuck for projects to move onto. If anyone saw my briefly appearing story idea this morning, yes, sadly, that is totally on the list. XD
It's been a long time coming, but my brain has finally allowed me the realisation that stories are not magical and mystical beasts that come at their own choosing and leave when they wish; I can do things on my timetable and I can write whenever the hell I want. Some days I won't be able to, and sometimes what I write won't be good, but that's on me not on the universe, and that sense of control is remarkable.
I am very slow, when it comes to good things.
