1. Friday will be my first-month-at-new-work anniversary! We haven't been doing much, but I've been told repeatedly and by so many different people that the crunch starts at the second month, so I'm psyching myself for that. Last week I observed how a group discussion works and how a facilitator handles it, and one day that'll be me. I'm excited and nervous about it!

2. Watched Goseiger's Last Epic. I didn't realize how much I missed seeing them in action until now! I think the only Goseiger eps I haven't watched are the movie itself and the team-up with Gokaiger. This one was... okay I guess. The first half was really fun, though the way it was resolved was typically too fast, sob. Oh well!

3. I'm so obsessed with this one local show it's insane. I haven't been this hooked since... four years ago, I think? It helps that a lot of people are hooked as well, and tumblr is my salvation for when I need a fix - which is often, hehe.

4. I miss having time to RP. I miss having motivation to RP even more. Nowadays I feel like I only have the weekends to play, and sometimes even then I don't feel the burning need to do it like before. I'm grateful

dramadramaduck is lax and welcoming and people backtag a lot, because I feel like that's the only way I can still play, as I am far from wanting to OMG DROP EVERYTHING.

...this doesn't mean I'll stop looking for castmates, though. I WANT GOSEIGERS AND LORD OF THE RINGS AND DEVIL WEARS PRADA PEOPLE, DAMNIT.

You've been there a month already? Wow, time sure flies (for me anyway, you might not feel the same!). Congrats to you. :)

I've never really RP'd, but I think it's a bit like writing "normally" fanfic, in the sense that you have your ups and downs and sometimes you just don't feel like writing and it's only really when you've found something new (with me and writing it's usually a new fandom/pairing) that you go OMGDROPEVERYTHING over it.

Thank you ♥ And it really, really does fly fast!

Gah, I miss writing fanfics - but yes, it's almost the same. Granted, with fics you don't really have anyone waiting for you to update (with the exception of WIP) whereas in RP the person you're playing with might be waiting for your reply to them.

That's a good thing. You're liking the job so far? Good coworkers/boss etc?

That is a good point. That's kind of why I can't post stories that are still WIP, because I need to have it finished - I can't have the pressure of writing when I can't write. Which is why I don't have any chaptered stories posted, though I have several in the works (works should really be quoted, because honestly, I've not worked on any of them for YEARS).

Yup yup! All good, for now :D

Ugh, WIPs are the worst. I'm especially guilty of not finishing those I started, sob. It's hard to work on it when the motivation is no longer there.

Glad to hear it! :)

I know what you mean. Plus, with me at least, even if I plot out the whole story completely before I start writing, I often come up with something new at the last minute, and often that would necessitate adding, editing or outright removing something from an earlier part of the story, and if it's already been posted, that might be weird. So I try and look at chaptered stories as one long story, and I count scenes rather than chapters (I do so for shorter stories as well) when I write, and then split once it's done.
