Ooh—I can't believe we're at the end of the year already! Since I'm planning to make a post for the whole year later, I'll try to stay on-topic in this one and focus on only the recent stuff.

Overall, things have been going smoothly, the progress is just a bit scattered (I even wrote out my ideas for two different time travel plunnies along the way—Cer1dwen, what have you done to me). Still, I'm happy I've been able to get anything done at all, considering the state I was in just a few weeks ago.

I'll…try to take it easy from here. Which is going to be tough, because I'm going to have new classes to adapt to, and I'm also going to have to look for an…internship?…as well as research other schools in case things go pear-shaped between now and the end of the school year.

I…hhh. I want to find more time to write. Take more time to write, take more time for self-care, even if it means I won't be giving my studies my all. Now that I think about it, I'm not surprised it's come to this—if I give something my 100%, then there isn't any space left for anything else, is there? But I swear some teachers don't realize just how unrealistic it is to expect this much of us (oh god I forgot about the online classes, too…). I've been told my whole life that I was taking it too easy, but now that I'm doing more I think maybe I was doing things the right way, and it was everyone else who was wrong. Half-assery is self-care, and my half-assery just can't keep up with other people's in most contexts, is all.

Uhh merry Christmas. To myself. Happy soon-birthday. Cheers.

Onwards to January.

Whoa, it’s been a while. Lots of stuff happened, and I tried continuing to write these, but I kept taking too long and messing up the timing. Well, here I am this time. Things have died down. Hopefully I’ll be able to keep this up from here on out.

Well. These last few months have been a bit messy, but I did get some stuff done. This is why it’s important to look back on one’s progress. You often find you did more than you thought.
A good few months. It’s been hard, but the fun is kicking in again. Good times.

That aside, I’m thinking I might start grouping months together. My previous entries were a little short, methinks. Three months might be good.
Well. I’ll find my ideal pacing eventually.

PS: It wasn't needed with the previous entries, but since this post is longer, I felt it needed some section breaks. After much struggle (this took me half a day I swear), I managed to create several classes of hr in the custom CSS bit of my blog's theme config. Very happy with myself.

This month has been very productive. I've worked on my writing on more days out of a month than I ever have before, I think. My GYWO counter says I worked 18 days in February, which continues to baffle me.

I did hit a wall or two. My muse wasn't working with me for a while, and I wondered if it was because I was working it too hard, but I read some fics and it got right back up it seems, so.

So, overall, I drafted the first section of the story for the IchiBowl and switched some stuff around for Isolated. Productive month :)
