Starting out.

[skye_writer]

Well, I think my new year has gotten off to a pretty good start. I've actually managed to write some words since Monday, which I'm happy about. I'm working on The Outpost (my massive TRON fic) again, rewriting a scene for the third time. I think I've finally got it to work, and I have half an idea what I'm doing now, so that helps too. I'm hoping I can finish this fic by the end of the year, and get it all posted (or at least mostly posted), too. Here's hoping.

In other news... not much other news? I've crocheted a little bit. I bought WAY TOO MANY games on Steam during their sale and I've been having fun playing some of them. I'm particularly fond of the two idle/clicker style games I bought--Plantera and Voodoo Garden. Plantera is definitely more of an idle game--it keeps going for a certain amount of time after you've closed it. Voodoo Garden requires more active playing, which isn't bad, but the leveling seems to take forever. Nevertheless, I'm enjoying myself, so whee.

Also, getyourwordsout is going fairly well for me. I'm not on pace by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm happy to have written something. It seems like a really great comm so far, too. I'm hoping my internet shyness doesn't get the best of me and I end up making some friends over the course of this year. 

As I say, there's not a whole lot going on in my life right now. I'm doing well, and I suppose that's what's important, right?

Oh. I have jury duty next week. So I guess that's going to be a new adventure (if a boring one). Maybe I'll have something to write about that, who knows.

Anyway, I'm doing well. Hope you all are too. :)

Glad things are going well for you so far. :)

Thanks, CA! :D

I got listed for jury duty a summer or two ago (so I couldn't beg off because of college) and ended up lucking out, since there didn't end up being any trials during that time. Calling them up every week was still stressful, though, and made it impossible to plan things in advance.

Glad to hear the writing's been going well. :)

I managed to get out of jury duty once before because I was away at school. Not so lucky this time. I have no idea what to expect, because no one in my family has served since we've moved here (almost 22 years ago!). I'm also worried it's going to interfere with my mental health appointments. I'm going to therapy twice a month, and then next month I've got a meds checkup that I really can't miss. I also have some testing to refine my diagnosis next week as well. I don't know. I'm just gonna worry until it's over, I guess. *shrug*

And thanks. I'm glad it's going well, too, because so often it doesn't want to happen at all.

Buying digital games (and books!) is dangerously easy; I feel your pain... Still, it's good that you're having fun with the new games!

Great to hear that your writing is going well, too! :D

Oh yeah, I hear you on that. I bought half a dozen ebooks on Amazon during their Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales. And something like ten games over the Steam Sale? Most of them were pretty cheap--I got seven of them in one go for just $5!--but still.

Thanks! :D

[dolewhip]

Exactly, haha. And they really sneak up on how quickly they add up, I think, which is another part of the danger.

[skye_writer]

Oh yeah, definitely. Most of the games I got were under $3, but a couple were a bit more expensive. The most I spent was $11, on Planet Coaster (because normally it's like $45-50? and heck if I'm gonna let a good deal like that just sit there).

Definitely need to keep an eye on my purchases next time, though. Or maybe just make sure there's not a next time. >__>
