My week of vacation was great—I did nothing for two days, and then I wrote three fics in a row (two of which I still need to make posts for here) and now that I'm back at work it's like...oh, this is why I went two months without writing something. I need more time.

Early voting opened for Arkansas today, so I went to the courthouse and got it all out of the way immediately, so I don't have to worry about it when the election day crush comes. I mean, it's probably not going to change anything, tbh—I can vote as liberally as I want, but Arkansas is a deeply red state and my lawmakers never represent me and never have. Oh well. Gotta keep the hope alive somehow.

NaNo is fast approaching, but I'm on the fence for what I should write. Should I take the time to write as much as possible on one of my long coldflash fics, or should I actually attempt my original writing for a change? NaNo also starts during the week I'm spending with my friends, so I've got to work out a rhythm for writing that won't interfere with hanging out. Maybe in the mornings, when everyone else is sleeping?

What do you guys think I should focus on with NaNo this year?

Yeah, same here. Although the media is talking big about some kind of change here in Germany, that's all just pre-polls and speculation. We'll see if there's actually going to be some truth to that next Sunday. I'm going to vote and hope for the best.

Isn't it annoying when RL obligations get in the way of fannish activity? I need days to be twice as long as they currently are so I can have all the time to write, read and watch things that I need (though tbf, the way things are right now I'd just spend all the extra time sleeping).

I mean... I'm biased, but my vote goes for the coldflash fic(s).

I deeply and sincerely hope for the best. If I think too long about it, my brain goes through the blue screen of death and I have to reboot with candy and crying (and sometimes video games.)

LOLOL RL obligations get in the way of everything! And extra sleep is so good—I swear, the first two days I slept and slept, and only then was I rested enough to be creative.

Also, I have so many fics still to write. SO MANY. /o\
