It's Wednesday - let's have a post!
Aug. 28th, 2019 12:47 pmI think I can manage Five Things.
1. I finished my Black Sails fic for WIP Big Bang! It's frickin' over 100,000 words! At least 30,000 of those words were written in the last two months. *collapses* I'm owning this, I'm so proud of myself for finishing this story. I wanted to finish it and I did. WOO!
2. Following on from the above (holy crap, I finished it!), I'm glad I did it because I proved a few things to myself. Namely, that yes, I can actually write a novel-length story. And that I can discipline my writing. I have an actual method that does work. I can do this again. I want to do this again. (I...might have an idea I want to do this with...we'll see...it involves plants and Florida swamps and metaphysics...)
3. The move back to the states is progressing steadily. My flight back to my lovely trashfire state of Florida is on 15 October. I'm so conflicted about this move. I have no idea what it's going to be like when I get there and I don't even want to speculate about it. I'm just going to let it happen and try to be as chill as I can.
4. Wrapped up in the above is some serious baggage around the last 20 years and I'm trying not to kick past!seren too much. She would have done things differently if she could have. But, I feel very unprepared and like I've fallen behind where I'm 'supposed' to be. Which is, frankly, bullshit. I know it's bullshit. Still, the feeling remains and I'm working on it.
5. I'm having to move out of my current flat in a week because the uni semester starts soon, so a Master's student is moving in. However, my landlady's parents (bear with me) own this big house that's been converted into student flats, apart from the third floor which is a one-bedroom flat they usually stay in. They're heading out, so, I'm moving in!
I'm actually really excited! It's this big Victorian house that is on one of my favourite streets in town. It has a lovely view of the tennis courts as well as the sea (if you stand on your tiptoes). I've always wanted to see inside of the houses on this street and now I get to live in one! And it's all inclusive! No utilities bills or council tax for a month!
Happy Wednesday! ♥
