Update

So yeah, I've not really posted this month. The world at large is not cooperating with my aim of a cheerful month. I'm okay just busy at work. We've got our crappy company 'pat ourselves on the back' day on friday that I don't look forward to.

It's summer! Hit 30C in the office today. So that doesn't help my productivity, lol.

Fandom-wise, struggling on the inspiration front. But hp_nextgen_fest is coming up and I'll likely check out those prompts and fail to see anything. Otherwise there's bbtp in September and maybe smutty_claus if it's running.

Hope everyone's well!

Yeah, team-building exercises are tedious sometimes. Just hang in there and try to be civil...even if it kills you. If you have mobile data, you might be able to mentally escape to us here in shiny LJ.

We get hot here. Not equatorial countries hot but hotter than average. A couple weekends ago I went to another Parish for my grandfather's funeral and it was scorching hot. Like surface of the sun hot. I could not wait to leave.

I always say I'm going to start early, write a little at a time and be able to send it off to my beta with more than time to spare. What usually happens instead is that I get writer's block on the prompt, procrastinate writing, end up having to rush something, leave my beta with no time to edit, barely make deadline...or worse, have to request an extension...The cycle continues. I really need to get my act together or just not sign up this year.

That could describe my approach to SC. But I'm sentimental about it, it being my first fest and really the only big one I do, so I don't think i could drop it.

That's cool. The first thing I ever did was DG Last Drabble Writer Standing... That was fun. I was surprised when I didn't get eliminated in the first round.

The reason I keep going back to Smutty Claus is because of the icons...is that weird?

[lightofdaye]

Not weird at all. They're very nice icons. Though I think they've done all twelve days of Christmas in icons now.

I have only been writing for Smutty for about 4 years... I think. I think I'm one year behind you. But I want to earn all of the icons eventually. That's what keeps me coming back.
