It’s been a while. A long while. Almost seven weeks to be exact.
Hi everyone. I’ve been meaning to write up a post about what’s going on, where I’ve been, etc. I really have. But real life obilations took over, along with writing burnout and just generally wanting to just take a very firm step back.
The past few months have been absolutely crazy. Work has finally exploded as I’m officially out of training and into my official probation period. Actually, as this post goes up, I will have been on probation for six weeks, halfway through. It’s been a real up and down process. I don’t want to go into too much detail, for privacy’s sake. I will say however, that while I come away every night exhausted, I also have a sense of fulfillment. I just need to get more comfortable with everything, and that comes with time.
On the writing front, I’m still knee deep into Writer’s Month, even though I am very very late in finishing. It has been a moderately successful month, though there have been some firm ups and downs due to rude commentors, as well as some unwanted attention from a group that I don’t associate with. By the end of tonight, I should only have four left to write, then I can quickly shift gears towards Whumptober 2022… which I haven’t even looked at yet. And I’m also planning on working on Nanowrimo this year if I can, which will be an amazing feat…
I’ve been reading on my breaks at work, slowly making my way through the Heroes of Olympus series. I’m on book four, House of Hades, my goal was to be done with both HoH and the finale by the middle of September, but as it can clearly been seen, I missed that by a bit. I just haven’t really had the time. If I can finish these last few fics, I’ll be able to spend an evening just knocking them out, hopefully.
And of course, the video game front. I’ll do a full Animal Crossing update one of these days (hint: I’m getting burned out here as well). But I’m also at 374 platinums and more than halfway done with 375, which is actually my third playthrough of Lego DC Supervillains! I’m playing the JPN version, which honestly is exactly the same as the North American and European versions, just with two buttons flipped. But it’s been fun to revisit once again.
As for 9-1-1… This is the big thing. Tonight was the premiere. And I didn’t watch it. I’ll be watching it tomorrow after work. I made this decision a bit ago, simply because I just wasn’t excited for this season. During the summer and leading into August, I realized that I just don’t see the show the same way others do. I don’t want to get too long winded, but I decided to just wait until Tuesday to watch it, to give myself a day. I managed to avoid most of the promos and articles, baring the first two or three brief promos, so I would know relatively little… Except that one: people on the internet are allergic to tagging spoilers (or even just tagging the fandom), and two: someone decided to be an ass and send me two comments on one of my fics that featured a breakdown of the two released scenes leading up to the premiere. I’ll be doing a post on this later on, but fandom etiquette is non-existent at this point.
So. Wrap up. I’m back. Real life and life away from this blog are insane. My migraines are back and I’m going to a neuro ophthalmologist as soon as the one I was referred to calls me back. Expect the post for 9-1-1 6×01 to be delayed another day. It’s all right.
Promise I’ll be on some sort of posting schedule again soon. Ish. Soonish.
Until next time!
