Sometimes you're puzzling over why the characterization doesn't seem right, and then you realize that it's because you wrote someone having wayyyy more maturity and self-awareness than they should. Hoo boy.

Well, at least now I know how to fix this thing. :V

Speaking of writing, signups for iddyiddybangbang will be opening on July 10! This is a panfandom fest where the goal is to write a fic of at least 5k featuring whatever fulfills your desires/tickles your fancy/brings you joy. You can sign up with a WIP, too, rather than starting something totally new.

I've participated in it a few times before and always found it good fun. The July signup + September deadline + minimum wordcount has done wonders for getting me to tackle ideas longer than my usual and finish things that have languished in my WIP folder for years.

+ Went to physio last night. There seems to be some progress, which is good. I like that this place has evening appointments so I don't need to take time out of my work day. It's not like I do much in the evening anyway.

+ Went to dinner at my brother's place. His wife made some very good burgers.

+ I unfortunately haven't been much for conversation lately.

+ Read Junji Ito's Cat Diary. Found it disappointing. I've already seen the best pages on the internet. But the juxtaposition of his creepy art against the mundane cat stories is still amusing.

+ Wrote a little today. Had trouble getting into the groove, though. The Starbucks I went to isn't a very good environment for writing, not like the other Starbucks that closed down. Maybe on the weekend I will try writing at the library instead.

+ I don't feel very good today. I didn't feel good on the weekend either. Both physically and, like, emotionally. Lately I feel like I hate the entire world.

+ Going to have to go over my insurance. I received the renewal package today. I might need to contact my broker, and I really would rather not.
