Wittering about mundanities, don't mind me!
Monday, 17 February 2020 09:50 pmHello darlings! I'm doing a science behind the screens here (apparently hotmail ALSO does scheduled emails and I'm trying to figure out if the DW post that results is less messy than the gmail version), but I figured I might as well capslock while I'm here anyway!
- I can't imagine that it's going to affect anything, but I've access-locked my LJ entirely and everything on this DW between about 2009 and 2019. I'm going to be going through all of my old posts anyway as part of the fic triage project that I want to do this year, so most of it is going to be unlocked in the next couple of months, but I figured that I'd mention it now! This isn't EXACTLY a reaction to the "oh god I was such a brat as a teenager" thing, it's something I've been considering for a while because, y'know, I've had a livejournal/dreamwidth for about sixteen years now! That I started back when I was a very sheltered fourteen year old with at least two undiagnosed mental illnesses and didn't have the most nuanced views on... Literally anything. And while I like the idea of showing my working, I equally don't want to unknowingly leave a field of landmines behind me. ... I have no idea if that makes sense.
- DON'T WORRY, I'M NOT DELETING ANYTHING. I am a digital hoarder (like, "still have the floppy disks with my first fic on" levels of hoarder), and also it feels a bit "Let the past die! Kill it if you have to!" and I am not about any lifestyle choice advocated by Kylo Ren.
- Speaking of, I know a few people have done a triage-style thing with their works in progress – if anyone has any tips beyond "Be honest with yourself about how likely you are to ACTUALLY finish that fic," I'm all ears! (I'm keeping this Story Hospital post about choice paralysis bookmarked for when I need the reminder, but I'm open to other advice!)
- I HAVE DONE THINGS TODAY. SO MANY THINGS.
( Cut for tiny mundane achievements ) - Castlevania is coming back on the 5th of March! This is EXCITING, even if I suspect that my OT3 are never going to interact and the Sad Zombie Maker is going to be filling up one of the protagonist slots.
- Bullet journalling is still a work in progress. I'm still not doing the ~artsy~ thing, but I AM enjoying having lists of everything that I might need to know all in one place again.
- I have the house to myself for an ENTIRE EVENING, this is so magical. I CAN STAND ON THE FURNITURE AND BIMBLE AROUND THE HOUSE WITHOUT WORRYING THAT I'M DISTURBING ANYONE, FEAR ME AND MY MUNDANE JOY!
