Worked on some fic today for the first time in, uh, months. Wasn't even writing per se, just typing up a draft that I finished last year. It felt really good to work on something, though.

Due to my drastically reduced free time, I guess I need to make more effort to slip this kind of thing in whenever possible. It will probably help that it's much warmer now - It's easier to motivate myself to walk down to the cafe and sit down and work on things and not do anything else for an hour or two. On the weekend, that is.

This year will probably be no exchanges for me once again. But I do want to participate in

iddyiddybangbang though. There is one draft that I think will be just long enough. Obviously it's still a while before that event, but since time is at a premium, I might as well start thinking about it now.

Most years, I have a spreadsheet that I use to keep track of my writing progress, but I think I will not do that this year. Given it's been several months of nothing, it seems a little silly to set a wordcount goal. Instead, I'll just try to finish one or two things. Keep it manageable and achievable, y'know.

Anyway, I'm glad that An Attempt Was Made. And the stuff I was working on was pretty good, too. Hooray.

Yay for making progress! Getting back to something after not having the time for it for a while always feels great.

That reminds me, I need to get back to reading fic. One of those things I fell off of when I drifted from lj/dw/fandom in general...

Yes! Though it's kind of a juggling act. Like, I have time to write OR draw things, but not both. Augh! Oh well. :P

I'm with you on the not reading fic much these days. I keep thinking if I get into something new I'll feel a push, but so far ehhhh.

Man, I really feel that about only having time for one thing or another. Like I got back into drawing this year and it's like, damn, there stalls the progress I was making on that novella-length vehicle for smut that I started last year, lol oops.

Yay for working in a bit of writing! ♥ I hope you manage to find some good time for it.

<3 I'm going to MAKE AN ATTEMPT (especially this weekend, hooray for a 3-day weekend)

I'm glad you're finding time to work on writing! It can be really hard to fall back into it once you've taken a long break.

I haven't did anything on my fics for probably a year now (and counting). Reasons: school, work, ~~spending most of my free time knitting~~, taking a break from Hetalia...there are some that I think about working on, but the motivation is just not quite there :| It's been a chaotic couple of months because of everything going on. But I'm sure I'll get back to them some time.

I hope you will get back to it eventually <3 as time and drive allows. Or any other fun thing.

Yessss!!! 💪️💪️ Nicely done on the progress! I'm with you on the whole not having any time thing, it's so difficult to schedule it in. But it sounds extra cozy to drop down to the cafe for it.

Super excited for

iddyiddybangbang :D

It's such a pain in the ass, I swear.

We could always try to do writing sessions again? If it's scheduled ahead of time.

I would be super down for that!! I don't know if I could commit as much time as I did before, but even 2 hours would be more than what I'm currently doing which is like nothing.

Sounds good to me! How about next Sunday (April 27)? Around Noon/8PM?

Works for me!!
