+ Work has been ridiculous lately. There's a stat holiday on Monday, and I think everyone just kind of mentally checked out on Wednesday afternoon, to be Quite Honest. (Not including me, mind you.) So many paperwork mistakes, argh! I try not to be too bothered about it, but this has been getting on my last nerve.

+ Family stuff coming up next week. Everyone running around like headless chickens, including me. Lovely.

+ Trying to edit this fic for IIBB, and hating every minute of it. This thing is so over-written, it's ridiculous. I know the vibe that I was going for, but there's just too much frosting on this cake, to put it figuratively. Also realized that there was part of a scene that I re-used almost exactly in a fic that I drafted later than this one (posted now), and that actually worked much better characterization-wise in the other fic, with a different pairing. So, that's interesting. Anyway, I'm going to have to do so much re-writing.

+ Scored a commission slot from one of my favourite fanartists. Trying to describe what I want them to draw for me made me practically die of embarrassment. ...Even though what I was asking for was very much in line with what they draw on their own time, and it's a pairing that I know they like. I guess I feel very self-conscious about asking for stuff outside of exchange contexts, even if I'm literally paying someone for it. (????)
