Round 84, Hour 46

[agirlnamedtruth]

Rather than writing, I seem to be signing up for stuff, including usurping this hour. Is there a professional I can see about this problem? 0.0

How did the last hour treat you? How did you treat it?

[marginaliana]

A thing happened, which was napping.

[agirlnamedtruth]

That's still totally a thing though, you said it right there in your comment. Napping achievement unlocked *high five*

[bookblather]

I actually set up a mix I've been meaning to set up for a couple of months!

[agirlnamedtruth]

Now that is how you get things done! Go you!

[thisbluespirit]

I made a Dreamwidth post, and I'm not sure whether I will type up a few words, or go to bed instead.

[agirlnamedtruth]

Both are totally solid options, maybe set yourself a timer and if words haven't come to you by the end of it, give into the call of the land of nod?

[thisbluespirit]

440 words and now to bed!

Thank you. <3

[agirlnamedtruth]

You've earned it! Have a good night sleep!

[eve11]

Nice word count!

We just got back from seeing Black Panther (again), so I am FINALLY at home and awake and not interacting with company and just maybe possibly able to do something creative! If the Nap Monster doesn't attack me first.

[agirlnamedtruth]

Oooh, I've been debating going to see that as my local cinema just started offering cheaper screenings that you don't need to sell a kidney to afford. I've not seen many MCU films though, only the Iron Man triology and the first Avengers film, is it one that can stand alone?

[lolmac]

Hell yes; it stands alone very well! There are a few callbacks to earlier films, nothing that prevents a viewer from following the movie. (In fact, a hell of a lot of the people who have been seeing it have never seen any MCU movies at all. We have to warn them when they start to leave as the credits roll, so they won't miss the Easter Egg scenes.)

And it is INSANELY good. I think it's the best superhero movie I've ever seen, and one of the best just plain damned movies. SO MANY kick-ass women. AMAZING production design, acting, fight choreography, music, everything. We'll probably see it at least one more time while it's still in theaters, and then buy the DVD and the soundtrack.

[agirlnamedtruth]

I will definetly give it a go then! I planned to go this Monday but ah, we’re having some misplaced weather at the moment 0.0

There has been words. Slowly but steadily, my story is creeping towards an ending, which is really exciting. I haven't finished a story in ages. I write a lot, but I'm terrible at finishing my work.

Also, I painted my nails, which is a small thing but it makes me happy.

[agirlnamedtruth]

Well, that is what we like to hear! Are you writing fanfic or original?

Also, I painted my nails, which is a small thing but it makes me happy.

Call me weird but on my personal scale of being able to get stuff done, painting your nails falls pretty close to the top. Like, I'll do mine, that bit is fine. But then it starts to chip and I say to myself "I really must redo them" and then I don't and then I'm down to like one tiny red dot on one nail before I give up and pick it off and then two months later, on a whim, I'll paint my nails and the whole cycle starts again.

That's me saying well done by the way ;)

[ashkaztra]

Currently working on fanfic. My ability to finish original work is even worse, because when it's my world, I have nothing to keep me on track, I just move the track. xD

I have pretty brittle nails due to a skin condition, and they keep breaking and then I pull at them and hurt myself, so I paint them as a way to fiddle with them less.

[agirlnamedtruth]

My reasoning is something similar, I pick at mine and the skin around them so I paint them in the hope that I won’t do it in order to keep them looking pretty but I’m weak so it never lasts and then I just add the nail varnish itself to the list of things to pick at. The only thing that truly stopped me was wearing acrylics but then I can’t do anything in them point blank so...

Yeah, I feel you there. I have half a novel somewhere and I have literally thrown the whole plan out the window at this point. And shockingly, after I did that, I procrastinated to the point where I forgot it even existed until I found it recently. Maybe NaNo can kick our butts into gear this year?

[eve11]

I have a beginning and an end for the interlude scene. And a giant mishmash jumble in the middle.

[agirlnamedtruth]

So you have a novel? xD

Seriously though, you've got the key parts nailed down, you've got your frame and as you say, you've got your mishmash middle. You've got the meat and bones. You've done great stuff! Even getting one of those two parts done is an achievement <3
