musings

I had a lapse in judgment and started outlining a brand-new story—some kind of post-apocalyptic thing with bases and monsters roaming and people with special abilities fighting them. (So like, all the apocalypse webnovels) except so far it's none of that because we're focusing on a low-level thug in the city. No idea if I'll continue with it or where it's going. I do like the MC's personality, though!

I've also set up 5k3days, a writing challenge; write 5k words in 3 days. I've done this before on my own and think it's quite fun. The advantage is that it's over very quickly, so when you're actually doing it there's not a lot of time to panic. It's also very cool to come out the other side with 5k new words XD

I'm hoping that making the challenge more "official" will help me with my own writing progress. I've kind of stalled at the moment... executive dysfunction has had me in its grip for a while now. It's getting better, I think, but I'm still kind of annoyed. At the very least I want to actually fight the winter monsters in 4thewords winter event—to that end, I took a bunch of new quests. I've got like 15 ones ongoing now...

Editing because I want to yell about this: Somebody bought me books from my wishlist!!! I'm so excited!! (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)
