I'm holding off on uploading First Impressions for a short time. For now, the option to limit views to those logged in to DA still exists, and I'd like to loiter a bit and see that it's still there before sharing my stuff with the whole internettin' world.
I made a small amount of progress writing this week. Less than I'd hoped. But better than nothing.
Still struggling with my least favorite character of all time. Bit of writer's block (more an issue of time, I think), so I thought I'd take this opportunity to solicit your strategies for overcoming writer's block.

Writing Train: April 2024
Writing Train! Somos un grupo informal de autores (otras artistas también bienvenidas) - tenemos metas y apoyamos un@ al/a otr@. The Writing Train is an informal collective where writers (and other artists) can set and share goals and support one another in achieving them. Any goal is the right type of goal, as long as it works for you and helps keep your creativity flowing. You can join the train or "deboard" any time that seems helpful to you. Welcome to April! That's Arab-American Heritage Month where I live. It is also snowing today. I had a couple weeks in March where I had good writing days, but mostly it is still a struggle. Part of the problem for me, I think, is that I'm not settling into a story I really want to write. I got reviews for an article manuscript for work yesterday, so I will need to spend my energy on that for the next two months as well as getting a grant proposal turned in 11 April. Remember when I had enough spoons for hobby writing and work? That was

That means Women's History Month in the US, so go and get you some learnin'. :love: I didn't do a mid-month check-in during February (again) because... I didn't have much to share. I have been struggling to write because I have more limited energy and am obligated to use it elsewhere. This is hard and sad for me and I'm not sure what to do with that. I have a lot of ideas and stories I'd like to write, and I know the best time for me to do that is the morning. I'm going to keep trying. Not looking for advice at this

found in a journal from @CouchSessions Meaning of my Username: The initials are what I now use as a pen name, and derive from a Star Wars character I invented, enjoyed for a long time, and have now let ease into gentle twilight. The 26 is a reference to my favorite clone trooper (Captain Maze, A-26). So... it is really all just very, very obscure starwarsstuff. One Meal to Rule Them All: Shockingly hard to decide. Probably something involving lots of pasta and cheese and maybe seafood? Shrimp alfredo? Best Gift Ever: I feel like I should say something deep here and not "the old school Ariel doll I got when I was 9." Hmmm... knowing enough people that I can figure out how to get to dance class even though I can't drive myself. That's even better. Job I Wanted When I Was Little: Princess-ballerina-archaeologist faded petty quickly. I discovered I would have to marry someone to be a princess and was like "hard pass," and ballet turned out not to be my thing. So... archaeologist? That

I decided to skip the mid-January check in. The middle of the month coincided with the start of the semester, which kicks my ass now that I am chronically ill. By the time I was feeling better, I was like... it's almost February and let's just do that. So! Here we are! I recently decided to dig into a personal essay series, and I don't know if I will post them, but that has been super productive (for like 2 days, but I will take the win). I am so far failing at work writing, but trying to be gentle with myself. Goals for February
