Life:
- Accidentally became even more important at work. They're wrapping a green bandage around my leg, is that normal?
- Lucky in love. Being offline looks like being dead to a virtual observer - remember this when you're ghosted.
- The flame I was rekindling is no longer a controlled burn! This is exciting!
- Getting into raisins.
Writing:
- Original project STILL waylaid by the siren song of fanfiction serials.
- End of Days decided it was time to come out. Book 3's done.
- Shepherd of Stars is far enough along I could just start posting it. But I want some breathing room. The subject matter is a little too real right now. Trying to be careful, think, digest, move with intent.
- We're Just Two Men as God Has Made Us continues to pass like a kidney stone but a certain scrapped album from 2014 is pushing me to pick it back up.
- Next chapter of Shrike in queue after Two Men. Yisu and Venat have some new things to talk about since I started this fic. We may see some retcon edits with Emet-Selch. Sorry Venat, sorry women.
- Brewing ideas for July's rarepair week - Ryne & Alisaie, Alkaios/Maira (don't look at me), maybe some Fandaniel/Predecessor
- Made a carrd for Yisu bc I'd like to do some more roleplay. Also starting to roleplay!
- Settling on what to do with his in-game house, created another carrd as an excuse to write a menu. I'm considering some lowkey Venue type activities here, coffee shop writing hours.
