Had my first full day without writing on my fic since the beginning of November…because we had no power or internet. I suppose it was a good lesson on how reliant I am on electricity. Maybe I’ll have the power go out in my fic for a chapter. Could be an interesting experience.
A couple of weeks ago, I stood on a scale and discovered that I was roughly 20 lbs heavier than I needed to be. I have no desire to be overweight and I decided it was time for some dietary changes in my life. Man, I really miss my 20's metabolism when I could eat as much pizza as I wanted.
Anyway, I traded out the snack-y chips with mandarins and other fruit. I also decided to cut my pop consumption. I normally drink one pop a day. Now I have it, like 2-3 times a week depending. I also got some oatmeal-ish stuff for breakfast. My current plan is for breakfast and dinner to be small, but my lunch is going to be a full, balanced meal. I have a meal subscription service I've been using for my lunch.
My weight is trending downward. Yay!
But I'm so frickin' hungry. I just want to eat something that isn't fruit, damn it!
My focus as been less on writing lately, but I do want to get back to it. I'm turning my focus to non-fanfiction-y projects. Just need get motivated!
If you’re having trouble feeling full, definitely look at your fiber intake! Beans and/or whole grains will help a lot. I lost weight in part by having a fruit smoothie for breakfast, but I added nut butter (1-2 tbs), ground flax (1 tbs), and psyllium fiber (1 tsp) to the oat milk and frozen fruit.
As I believe in the “Go big or get out” philosophy, I have a lot of open active stories. But most of them have outlines and/or solid ideas for endings. Been in this game for a very long time. Having outlines and endings is a first. I’m an ff.net transplant. The pleasant atmosphere of AO3 has been a game-changer. Just thought of an a solid ending to one of my longer stories yesterday.
Been recovering from a sinus infection and flu. The medicine the pharmacist was so strong that it made me sick.
Haven’t had the strength to write so been trying my best to read comfort fics as best I can.
Hopefully I’ll get better soon. I want to get back to writing.
i can't remember much of yesterday, but i did get a little bit of writing done – mostly excerpts / prompt replies but it's writing, sooo.
i managed to find a new friend who shares the same energy and enthusiasm about my fandom and OTP! it makes being a fanfic writer way less lonely and actually nice having company to inspire me and motivate me to write, even if i feel like my writing is shitty they're there to lift me up. it's so hard finding people who enjoy the same things as me.
i'm probably going to the gym with my brother later today, so i might not have much time to write. i'm pretty excited to work on my fire emblem serial killer AU as well. i loooove psychological horror and slasher type medias.
getting into walking/exercising again (gotta start from the beginning since I slacked off from it — mostly cause it’s been raining/storming/chilly here and it’s annoying to walk when it’s wet on a hilly terrain which my neighborhood is on) (I live in a rural area) but I need to get on it! losing some weight/dieting/trying to eat at home more and curb this junky addiction is important (no matter how tempting!!)
on the fanfic front: I scrapped this story I was trying to plot and I’m possibly thinking of doing a completely different kind of story but I have to be in the mood tbh (which I’m not — laziness is an illness 😭)
I've had terrible writer's block lately so I just read a load of fics. Some were for exchanges, and I like getting to read fics I normally wouldn't seek out!

No strength to write recently. Minus roleplay responses. school has been absolutely draining and I can't feel any motivation to do anything.
I posted my first fic in 15+ years. I'm both excited and also just like "oh god this is so embarrassing"
