Did I do it? Did I do the instagram picture thing right? The set up picture? The "I'm about to do work" but maybe actually order some lunch picture? https://www.instagram.com/p/CLDEHVznRTe/?igshid=cp92q2jljdxj
This month I made myself a goal. I wanted to work on my WIP, every single day. No matter how big or small. Just wanting to create the habit. But then, well if you live near me in NY. The snow came. And now we are getting more. I also have an infection, actually two of them. I'm sure you see where I am going with this. My disabilities go brrr. I didn't even pull the ring light out. I love that thing. It makes me the same color as the walls. 🤣🤣 But still, I'm trying. I'm trying to make progress and even change in my mind what "working on a project" means. Most days lately all my spoons are in my streams. Not leaving much for my writing. But, if I rethink a name or even talk about it with my partner. I'm counting it. I did something. I haven't changed my shirt, but I know that my MC--her first name was Ryan and now it's Rian. (OoOoOo More fantasy like) And that's good enough. Anything and nothing are good enough. Work towards better days when you can give it all your spoons. And type these extremely long captions instead of one line witty captions.

#NaNoWrimo Day Four! Yesterday was a tough one. Today is a tough one too. If you got nothing done yesterday, like me, Don't worry. Self-care in stressful times is important. Personally, I spent yesterday with my mom, @mikevicky133 , We had a good day. She got her hair did, its purtty. We had Panera Bread. &I didn't worry about my words. That's okay if you did the same. Today is a new day and we WILL smash our goal! Happy typing!
Catch the vibes for the rest of this month! It's already Day Two of #nanowrimo . Started a bit last night and now we are off! With a new project to boot! Who else is participating? I've tried and not won before. But this year will be different. Writer friends, really do make the world go round. Good luck to you all!
i’ve been seeing a lot of posts on my dash about the witcher and it looked pretty interesting to me, but when i went on netflix the description was really vague and unhelpful. in attempt to not accidentally spoil myself by looking on the web, would you mind telling me a little about it?
first of all, to watch the witcher you need to replace your expectation of “good” with “totally unhinged.”
the show is about henry cavill in extremely tight clothing, carrying around a broadsword, facing moral dilemmas, fighting monsters, and having sex. he takes a potion before every fight (which isn’t explained) and no one in the story ages (which also isn’t explained) so people’s parents and grandparents look the same age as their progeny.
the witcher is not a monster of the week show, nor does it have a coherent ongoing arc. it is not told in chronological order. most of the things that happen are unrelated to everything else that happens. the timeline might happen over weeks, decades, or centuries, and none of that is explained. lore is told in fits and bursts and makes no sense at all. the first episode is absolutely useless and you should not judge the rest of the season based on it, but it has a great sword fight and geralt (that’s henry cavill in extremely tight clothing) talks lovingly to his horse. that’s it. that’s the show.
what is important to know is that the season is adapted from short stories set before the events of the book series. so it’s not season 1 as much as season 0, which is why it feels like nothing is connected or makes sense. it’s a primer to what i’m assuming the next season will be (and i think/hope the fandom will really take off).
everyone seems to have boners for everyone else. most of the characters are women and they are all absolutely feral. the showrunner is a woman, and most of the eps are written and directed by women. it’s like watching a really wild fanfic come to life. what i love about it is that it’s just so fucking weird. every expectation i had going into it was shattered, and even the moments that were cheesy or boring or cringey or dumb i found somewhat endearing. now that i’m done watching it, i kind of want to watch it again, which is something i rarely do. after every episode i thought, “i really don’t like this, and i don’t want to watch anymore.” and after every episode, i clicked play on the next.
if you like hot beefy men who are deeply misunderstood as being the bad guy but are actually good-aligned, you’ll like the witcher. if you like complicated, all-powerful, borderline-evil female characters who are greedy and heartless and have ample room for growth, you’ll like the witcher. if you like isolated men who are chased by endearing comedic relief sidekicks, you’ll like the witcher. if you like stories in which seemingly self-centered men are made to become paternal toward helpless beings, you will like the witcher. if you want to ship everyone with everyone else and be totally overwhelmed by attractive people doing attractive things, you will like the witcher. if you like catchy bops that will be stuck in your head for 87 years, you’ll like the witcher.
the only way you will not like the witcher is if you’re expecting it to be good.
this is the best summary of the witcher i have seen
As the screenshot my friend sent me says:
can someone explain what “toss a coin to your witcher” means? im assuming a witcher is not just the titular character but is a category of person? how does one possess one? why do they need coins? why are we tossing them; is a witcher like a public fountain?
A witcher is, indeed, a category of person. They’re, like, alchemically-enhanced monster-hunting mutants, or something like that (I haven’t read the books).
One doesn’t possess one, but one can employ one, if one has any monsters that need hunting.
They need coins to exchange for goods and services, just like everyone else.
We are tossing them because that sounds jauntier than just giving them.
hope this helps
I laughed so fucking hard at this entire post, it’s perfect.
The Witcher is entirely unhinged and I fucking loved it.
Also if the feral women and beefy men haven’t convinced you, try the adorable bisexual bard:
I loved this show about 4000% more than I was expecting to. The moment at the end of episode one where I realized What Was Going On was great. It very, very much expects viewers to pay attention, and it’s not going to straight up answer your questions. It would much rather you figure it out.
While the above posts are all incredibly correct, the thing that got ME into the show was that it’s the story of a man who refused to make a choice, and he’s been paying for his wilfull inaction ever since. And I love it.
Also, he is the least interesting person and he KNOWS it. That helps a great deal.
I take umbrage at describing Jaskier as merely “the adorable bisexual bard “ as opposed to the most feral little bastard on the continent.
Gotta love a main character that knows he’s boring
the witcher is superior to game of thrones in every single way

Question for my fellow disabled folk
So I am look for what to do for dinner for shit days? Like today, tomorrow (on the east coast Hurricane is supposed to hit).
I'm not a cook. Imagine I start at a negative 10 if we are grading my skills. Wanna eat healthy, its for two. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Oh, and I physically can't stand most shit days.
Send help? Maybe a butler?
each of the main trio in the Witcher can speak Elder, but on different ends of this spectrum:
It's also canon that a lot of the cursing geralt knows he doesn't even realize as cursing. Like at one point he tried to cast out a being and recited this spell that someone taught him ages ago.
The spell only served to make the being angrier and more violent.
Turns out he said something to the effect of "Get the fuck out of here you piece of shit" and legit thought he was going to cast out a malevolent thing with it
Here's the quote!
yo this is fucking hysterical
Here's something I don't see writers practicing enough: how big things can permanently change your character.
I see people putting their characters through war, abusive relationships, health disorders, and intense grief. Since popular writers often fail here, I hope you guys are also considering how these things will affect your character in the long run. I don't mean "Oh, they have bad dreams now and are jerks to everyone, but only for a little while." I mean has their entire outlook on life changed dramatically, and if so how? Does it show? Do they try to hide it and move on, or do they accept that this is who they are now? Does it take them a long time or a short time to realize things can never again be the way they were? How does that affect them? Do they choose to keep this new personality, or do they try to change it?
Not everyone wants to acknowledge this type of development in a character because it gets in the way of their plans or disrupts plot. Also, some characters are made of stern stuff or are just flexible enough to survive with their personality intact. Yet, major events in a story should leave a noticeable impact on a character, the more personal the event generally the bigger the personality change.
Just think about it if you haven't already, y'know?

Why are you expecting perfection from yourself when you give patience to others for their flaws? You are not bound by your imperfections but they are a part of you and that is okay.
People who can actually follow an organized routine for several months without overthinking and losing your mind, how does it feel to be god's favorite?

"You know what Mags? You're right. You have converted me. I'm not going to be in pain anymore, what's the point? I've decided to turn off my pain receptors and lead a normal life. Thanks for helping me see the light Mags, don't know what I'd have done without you. Can't believe I didn't try this sooner!"
