Chipping Away
Nov. 25th, 2019 09:15 pmI have no less than 5 open WIPs I really want to make progress on, at least two of which are seasonal and another I was hoping to finish for a friend before the holidays, but is my brain cooperating? No.
At least not my writing brain. After a few years of being largely dormant (thanks to getting into fandom pretty deep), my creativity for coming up with original temari designs has come back, so in the past few weeks, I've finished the Rubik's cube temari (which I posted about a little bit ago), a literature-related commission for a friend (which I won't post about until the recipient gets it), a temari based on Tybalt from the October Daye series that I'd been thinking about for years and finally found the right thread for (below), a Christmas wreath temari that's simple enough that I should be able to teach it to my students at the folk school next month, and now I've pulled out the really tedious JTA Level 3 Christmas-themed temari I started working on last year and put aside for being excruciatingly repetitive. Progress!
I also finished an urban fantasy ebook last night and actually opened one of the physical books I've had piling up and not had the attention span to focus on when there are so many shiny fics recs distracting me and candy-coated romance novels on sale every time I look at Twitter. Just once I'd like to actually make progress in the direction I intended, but this is better than nothing.
