It's brutally cold today and even after getting cozy in bed I'm feeling pretty listless. I was hoping to do some more writing tonight but I'm not sure that's still on the table at this rate

you know you're in deep on an AU when you're doing an AU fic for your AU
I'm putting my head in my hands, I hope this is good

Indescribably burnt out right now about shit in my personal and professional life and constantly trying not to be angry about it. Being creative has been sustaining me, but it's hard not to be bitter that this is something I have to fight upstream to carve out time for.

Every facet of generative AI has made my professional life worse, without question, but THIS specific aspect has been driving me NUTS.
Clients, who have made me toil for weeks over indescribably small details, are now approving & producing in-house commercial artwork that looks like a fever dream.

I feel the clients now using GenAI to do stuff and going "good enough" when they used to nitpick at every last detail is due to them finding out all those nit picky changes take time and work they cant be bothered to put in.

I have so much reading left to do and it's already no longer the weekend 😩 I'm losing my mind over my Marked For Later list basically exploding with recent recs because I have like a dozen physical books to finish by my bed and even more digitally

The incredible resilience of the human spirit (me being awake and presentable for a work meeting today) vs the trials and tribulations of life (I'm soooo eepy)

Heading back in to work this morning feels pretty bad, not going to lie. I'm starting to feel like I'm constantly stumbling from day off to day off so that I can make the art I want to make between being paid far too little

I got off work a little early, did some writing, and had a very nice evening hanging out with my partner after dinner. Definitely needed tonight after having such a stressful goddamn two months 😌

Maybe, when considering your audience on Ao3, you should not treat other fic writers as competition and start treating your readers' lives as being in tension with your writing. If your writing does not win out over someone's other choices to spend their free time, they'll do something else. /1

Took the day off work today for an absolutely ass-kicking headache, managed to rid myself of it by sleeping, so I'm spending the rest of the day working on some stuff that's bringing me a lot of joy (robots kissing)

One fic over 50k and I'm committing acts of hubris in my word count tracker

I think I'm probably going to make it big this year on the word count. Just shy of 400k written. Of that, ~175k is posted, with probably another 100k of nearly completed rough drafts sitting in my WIP folders.

Sharing the final version of my BB fic's tracker before I archive it. This was purely for goal setting; I had a separate detailed outline and a small personal style guide for editing so I didn't drive myself off the deep end trying to remember what terminology I was using

I love being hounded for writing feedback and then, when I give a very gentle "this could be interesting here" type of suggestion, getting an essay back about why that wouldn't work for your story. Just skip it then. A beta isn't holding you by the throat and demanding you change your story. 😔

October is normally my favorite month but this year it's been nothing but absolute shit for me this year. I've got to go for a procedure in a couple weeks that's necessary but also $2k AFTER my ins coverage. Ironically, I'd pay less if I had no job at all.

I've been trying to post a fic for three days and things just keep coming up. Fingers crossed I'll have time tonight after work to actually get this uploaded
