Yeah, I know, I disappeared for most of November - up until last week, NaNoWriMo was eating all my spare brain energy. Then depression hit, and I stalled out on writing, and I highly doubt I'm going to be able to crank out ten thousand words before midnight tonight, soooo... yeah. I've got 40k words of Elinyr-related nonsense (some of it is even good!) that I'll probably continue working on at my own pace, now that the pressure is off.

I also worked on some drawings over the past few weeks. I'm really happy with how they turned out. I'll share them tomorrow, when I'm on an actual computer.

In other news, I can't believe that December starts tomorrow. I'm happy that 2020 is almost over, though. I am so goddamned done with this year.

I'll post something with more substance tomorrow at some point - just wanted to tell everyone that I'm still alive, and I'll be back to posting pretty regularly again.

Current Mood: tired

Got sucked into novel writing. So far I've managed to crank out a little over 5k words - that's one-tenth of the way done with NaNoWriMo! :D

Aside from writing and working, haven't done a heck of a lot. Probably going to throw myself wholeheartedly into writing tomorrow (and maybe Wednesday too) so I don't hyperfocus on the election - I'm honestly afraid of what the next few days will hold, election-wise. Doing creative things and taking care of myself are the best things I can do, I think. I doubt anyone is going to be doing much work tomorrow, that's for sure - my co-worker Emily is planning on setting up a Discord server for the office so we can get together and play some Jackbox games to try and distract ourselves, and I might see if anyone wants to come visit my island in Animal Crossing.

Yeah, definitely nervous about tomorrow.

Current Mood: anxious

I have a writing filter set up now. Anyone want on it? Comment and let me know, please.

My resolutions for 2010...

- Work out 2/3 times a week. I need to get healthy.
- Track what I'm eating, how much of it, so on and so on. I need to eat better.
- Get my depression under control.
- Write in here once a day. Writing is good therapy, and I also want to get more in the habit of writing. I've been a bit of a failure at my fiction journal. Maybe I'll set aside one day a week for stories.
-Try and make more friends, or at least be more social with the friends I do have. I know, it's kind-of cheating on this one considering I'm living with one of my best friends, but I do have other friends that I hardly talk to. I need to get out of my comfort zone, and get better.
- Get a job. This one needs no explanation.

I'm going to make these my goals to work on for the new year. I'm going to take this time to myself I've been given and try and make something constructive out of it.

Current Mood: determined
Current Music: Law and Order: CI on the TV
