God sometimes I feel like I get trapped in writing one style of sentence when I write and it annoys the FUCK out of me. Or, like, TWO styles. And I'm wondering why I can't craft any sentences that aren't good if I'm not roleplaying - maybe it's because in an RP you're bouncing off of someone else? Ugh.

But then I go back and I read some of my favorite authors and I notice that there's not really THAT many styles of sentence out there, I mean, most of them have commas. I just use "as" a lot. And "as he." GOD I look at my writing and just want to tear it all up.

But it's cool, it's fine.

If I post the first chapter of this fic it'll be the first time I post an unfinished work to AO3. It means I have to actually commit myself to the second chapter. I don't know why that's scary. I don't have a fear of commitment.

On a lighter note: things I'm proud of.
 

- The zine I'm producing has wrapped up our preorders and we made a profit. Orders are commencing. Scary, but exciting. 

- I am designing a piece of content at work that is a version of a Federal form people will be able to use within our software. We're not a content company, but it'll be useful to a lot of our customers. Three (3) people, all from different teams, told me my design was extremely well-done. 😊

- I was able to talk to a person at work whom I DETEST with a smile on my face

- There's a Tamora Pierce shirt that I REALLY WANTED but I'm going to wait until my paycheck to buy. 

- I managed to ascend my Belinda in AFK Arena to Mythic+ but the bitch needs TWO MORE ELITE+ COPIES OF HERSELF to get ascended to the next tier. I'm 

- I managed to get a copy of the Azura I REALLY WANTED from Fire Emblem Heroes (the mobile game). I also got ANOTHER 5-star hero in that same summoning session. And!! A Byleth later in the day!!! Yesterday was a good day for my FEH summons. 

- One thing I am not proud of is the amount of cash I've spent on gatcha games in the past three months

I hate this feeling!!!!!!! like even writing the word "the" feels like so OBVIOUS and TRITE kjghaerg. but this is what i tell myself at those times: Like, if I'm rereading something I wrote 6 years ago and I DON'T see how it can be improved then I've stagnated pretty hard as a writer. so I always try to tell myself in moments like this that I am actively leveling up, and the only way to make sure i KEEP leveling up is to push myself to write, even though
it feels like
i am just pushing out
a big old dookie. :||| like it what you showed me did not read like a dookie at all. but it might feel like that to you because you are growing as you write it.

If I post the first chapter of this fic it'll be the first time I post an unfinished work to AO3.

hahaha this is always great motivation for me, i DO NOT KNOW HOW people finish multi chapter works completely before posting them!!!!!! that is a level of self control i have never come close to reaching lmao. Anyway, you should post it, so i can read it as quickly as possible :)


AAAH i'm happy you made some profit on your zine, that's so cool!!!! And nice work on your design, getting across massive amounts of information is such a useful skill. :333

"So I always try to tell myself in moments like this that I am actively leveling up, and the only way to make sure i KEEP leveling up is to push myself to write" -

AUGH GOD YES that's the perfect way to put it. It's like. I don't want to. but I have to. And why can't it just be DONE!!? Which coincidentally is the same way I feel about pooping alsdkfj;asj but - thank you! I'm happy with most of it so far; just gotta finish the rest of it lol. 😄 Or the rest of Lev's POV a;sldfkj

WAHHH THANK YOU I actually just committed the code for the project I designed today so 👀 We'll see how it goes!!! And I'm ordering the zine stuff this weekend, YEEPS
