Not much up.

Just wanted to post a mini update, I guess. 

I've written a bit more. Got nearly 1k on Wednesday with the help of a couple getyourwordsout word wars. And I wrote 611 last night. It's still work on The Outpost, which is needed if I want to finish it this year, but I'm plotting work on other stories as well. It turns out planning words can count towards my final wordcount, so I'm definitely going to take advantage of that.

In other areas, I've been crocheting a little. I made this doll over the past few days, and I've got a bevvy of other crochet projects on as well. I need to get work done on other things, too, but I just want to relax, I guess? I will get things done... eventually.

That really seems to be how things are of late. I do things, but I'm not really pushing to finish them. I guess it's all a part of the To Done list attitude. I don't need to finish everything at once. I can take my time, and eventually things will be accomplished. And I will feel good about them.

That's all that's really happening with me. I've got jury duty on Tuesday, like I said, which I am really not looking forward to at all. I had a dream last night that I got distracted and missed it, which was not fun in the least, and tells you how anxious/worried I am about it. I hope it all comes out to nothing. I hope I can get out of it somehow. (Maybe I'll have a panic attack and get sent home. I don't want to hope for that, though. Panic attacks are not fun.)

How's the first week of your new year been?

Yay, writing! That community seems like something I should look into, especially considering one of my biggest struggles with things like NaNo is sticking to one project...

The doll is cute, and I really love those handwarmers. They look like the sunrise!

Yeah, panic attacks definitely aren't something you want to have to hope for. Have you considered getting a note exusing you from a therapist, or at least, seeing if that's a possibility? That's what I had to do for my first jury duty summons, tbh.

If you want to participate in GYWO, you'll have to decide soon. Sign-ups are only open until the 15th of this month, and then they'll be closed until next year. You can read more about their pledge system and all it entails here: [ link ] I hope you'll participate! I'm having a lot of fun with it so far myself.

Thank you! ^_^

Indeed. I might have thought about the therapist note thing sooner, but given it's tomorrow, I don't think I'd be able to get one. And I have no idea how jury duty works, so I don't even know if they'd be swayed by that. Ugh.

I read up on it some more after posting that comment, and I've decided to participate! I made my pledge and have been accepted to the comm, whoo!

Ahh, I actually read "Tuesday" as "Thursday" in your entry. Shoot, yeah, that'd probably not be enough time. But I do believe you can handle it! I wish you the best of luck.

I saw that when I checked my reading page! Best of luck with your pledge! :D

Thank you for the encouragement; it means a lot. :)
