monday.

Usually Mondays are the worst, right? My worst days are always Mondays. Hell, my birthday this year's on a Monday which isn't very promising, but we'll see.

Because today I decided to make this Monday good, every measure I could take, I'd take. I have a therapist appointment later today and decided to go to the library and do my daily writing from there until I had to be at my therapist's.

It's going okay-ish. I have written stuff. I read what I wrote yesterday and was relatively pleased. It's not the best writing flow I've had ever, today, but it's got time yet to pick up its pace. I could imagine, past noon it might get better. I'm always slow on the uptake in the mornings.

I also want to look at my fanficfeedback community, but I've never really modded a community like this before, so I have to ask what people would like/expect to find in there of info and such? Right now I have a basic rules/info post pinned, but is there anything else I need to get out there before declaring the community open?

I definitely need to advertise for it some more, but not gonna do that until I've made it ready for people to start posting.

So, first things first.

monday.

Watch on YouTube

Just interrupting your day (or night) with this little piece of Danish culture canon.

A. Bournonville's "A Folk Tale" which is the story of Hilda, born a human but switched for a troll when she was a child and now living with the trolls underground. Lots of fun arising from that.

SPOILER: it has a happy ending, because it's Danish romanticism and we believed in tales that inspired hope.

Also, absolutely beautiful costuming and stage scenery, probably the prettiest ballet adaption Hübbe ever made.

It's good entertainment. Very atmospheric.

monday.

Last one for today, promise...




Ok, writing update.

Today was a good day, writing-wise. I got up early, went to the library and worked hard between 9 and half past twelve. Survived therapy, went right home and wrote the remaining 9 poems for March that I was still missing. Only stopped writing some 45 minutes ago, now.

The big question is how I'm gonna feel about what I've written when I look it over tomorrow, but quite literally, that's a problem for another day. A day like tomorrow. I'm so drained and tired right now, nothing truly makes sense to me except the notion of sleep, soon.

I have tomorrow off, in terms of plans, so I'll just be home all day and get my planning for April ready and maybe, if that doesn't take too long, I'll get started on April, too. If I can get April done in two days, like I did March, I'm gonna be very satisfied.

So far, this is the smoothest kind of writing process I've had outside RP venues since... ever, pretty much. I'm both surprised and really happy. It feels great.
