Life/Blogging Update + Updated Blogging Schedule

 


OK, so... life continues to be tough AF for yours truly.

So while I fully intended to bring my regular series (Comics Wrap-Up, Friday Fics Fix, Nerd Church,) back in January, for my own mental health and ability to use my free time for such luxurious things as sleeping and eating, that's not going to happen.

I'm tentatively aiming to bring them back in February, but honestly the way my life is right now, we all could have been hit by a meteor by then.

Still, I'll keep you updated when I can!

Look after yourselves, and remember to shelter from meteors... somehow.

Life/Blogging Update


Sorry if I've been a bit absent lately - I've had some major family stress and it's taken a massive toll on my mental health.

Will get back to things slowly... when I can, anyway.

I'm still in the middle of a situation or two and trying to take things easy right now.

Take care everyone.

Friday Fics Fix - A Time-Loop Rec-List

 


...ironically, I thought I'd already done a rec-list on time-loops. I had not. 😅

I'm actually not a huge fan of time-loop fics.

If you don't know what a time-loop is - think Groundhog Day, or Happy Death Day, OK? OK.


In order for me to like it, a time-loop fic usually has to have a little something quirky to it - otherwise I get bored.

...So these aren't likely to be straight-forward, just a head's up!

Nerd Church - The Writer Diaries: Let Me Romanticise Writing, Dammit!

 


Title: Let Me Romanticise Writing, Dammit!


Every now and then, out there on the Interwebs, I come across someone who disapproves of the 'romanticisation' of writing.

To them, writing is a career, a job, an occupation. Maybe they enjoy it, maybe they're good at it, but there's no fire in them that compels them to write.

Friday Fics Fix - Angst, Injury, and People Being Fiercely Protective of Izzy

 

 

'“Really? He said all that?” he asks, skeptical and hopeful by equal measure.

“Not exactly,” Stede admits, “He made a rather confusing analogy about the weight of a cannonball and controlled explosions and the two of you being like saltpeter and charcoal together.”'

Look, I never claimed to be a totally emotionally stable human being - not least because I'm not sure such a thing truly exists.

No, in fact, I've been quite up-front about my emo goblin spaghetti brain's weird and wonderful cravings. Mostly of the angsty variety.

...so I think you can probably guess where this post is going 😅
