+ I accepted a job offer today. I start on the 28th. It's still admin, but in a different area than previous; up until now all of my work has been in the construction industry, and this job is definitely not that. So, it'll be a bit of an adjustment, but that's all right. The important thing is that the jobsearch is over.

+ I cleaned out my desk drawers today. Man, I have way too many notepads. And notebooks. People keep giving me notebooks and I continue to not use them for the most part. Maybe I should... start to use them. (I say, but we'll see.) I also have several sketchbooks that haven't been touched. Then again, it's ages since I was into drawing; it's something that I would like to get back into, but actually doing it is more challenging than thinking about it. :V

+ Speaking of cleaning, while doing that I found what looks like a complete fic draft. If I remember right, it was originally supposed to be an auction fic, but the vibe was different from what the commissioner seemed to be asking for, so I put it aside and wrote them something else. I should... edit it one of these days. (We will see.) I've actually been managing to finish a lot of old drafts lately, and I've been feeling really good about it.

Thanks!! I expect it'll be a little rocky at first, but hopefully it'll settle in soon enough. :V

Congratulations on the new job! \o/ I hope this one works out well!

... I have so many nice notebooks I don't use because they're Nice and have proper bindings, and for actual writing I like cheap spiral-bound ones I can hook my mechanical pencil on. /o\

[yuuago]

Thanks! Hope so. <3

re: Notebooks, EXACTLY. If it's too pretty and has a proper binding and looks like a keepsake, I'm so reluctant to use it. I throw most of my writing in the recycle bin when I'm done with it, so I prefer looseleaf in a folder or thin floppy notebooks with saddle stitch or staple binding.

Congratulations!!

Re: drawing, that is such a mood. I loved drawing, and now I don't love it enough to endure being bad at it.

[yuuago]

Thanks! <3

re: Drawing, yeah, that's such a thing. Me, I'm guessing that it might help to try to draw different things than what I was doing before (so, maybe still life stuff instead of people) but who knows.

Congratulations on the new job! <3

I've had drawing on my mind too lately. I don't consider myself an artist, nor do I particularly want to put in the time/effort to change that (I have too many other hobbies I care about more demanding my attention!), but I do find it fun when I'm in the mood for it.

[yuuago]

Thanks! <3
Hooo, I know what you mean about like, enjoying art but not wanting to put in the work to be, like, great at it. I think that might be part of the reason I drifted away from it in the first place. :|a

Congrats on the new job! I hope the first day went well :)

[yuuago]

It was pretty good! First days are always kind of weird, but I think the job will go great once I actually... get to the point where I'm doing the job. :P
