I know the title + icon combo might make it sound like I have severe beef with the orgs, but I don't. The only thing I have beef with is my brain in this case.

Anyways, I'm starting to contemplate not doing Sakura Exchange this year. I'm not feeling as big of a spark towards any of the fandoms I'd nominate at the moment, which would kill any motivation to put out good-enough work for my recipient. Or at least, would eat up a ton of mental resources.

Then again, maybe things will change in a week or so when signups actually start. I don't know. My brain's weird like that. Plus, I still have the hyperfix rolling for my Finish What You Started piece, so maybe once I get what I want from that done over the weekend, it'll free up some space for me to think about potential Sakuraex pieces. We'll see.

(oh, speaking of: keep an eye in your inboxes. I got a WIP on the way. Probs gonna upload it tomorrow night.)

So idk if I told DW that I broke 4K on my Finish What You Started piece, but I did. Hell, yesterday that number's been bumped up to 5K now that I've started outlining the barebones shit I left. Don't think I'll make it past 6K, but hey. 2021 me envisioned this fic as being longer than my usual, and that still holds true today. Now we're on track to fulfil my April goal of having everything written out in full, and the hyperfix for the source material is still going strong (although maybe losing ground in favour of a different blorbo from the one highlighted in my fic). Hoping to have a WIP ready soon!

Guess who got their monthly writing goal done? It's meeeee~

Yep, you heard right. My goal for March was to finish fully writing the outlined paragraphs in my leftover WIP from 2021. For y'all paying attention, that's before I got this account. Before I got into Metal Gear. Before I got a full-time job, even. And now that there's an excuse for me to finish it (the Finish What You Started event I mentioned in the previous entry), I'm gonna actually get it done.

Now my new goal is to expand the outlines that I'd barely set out, and then write those out in full. Might start tomorrow, might save it till nexgt weekend entirely. We'll see how shit plays out.

So after an overly long time period of lacking motivation to work on my Finish What You Started piece, I've been able to muster some up not just once this week, but twice. And hopefully over this coming weekend as well. I've actually made some decent progress, and am just shy of finishing up my March goal of fully writing out the outlined paras I'd left 2 years ago. Here's hoping I can get that in the bag next time I sit down to work on it.

Also, Sakura Exchange is coming up and I really wanna do something for it. Still not 100% committed yet (because of time constraints), but I do have several ideas brewing in my head. Might actually have to start planning my Dear Creator Letter in advance. Hmm...
