The State of the Ficcery: August 2021

Writing: I did both story_works challenges (fluff & sound) and am at 10/25 gen bingo prompts; they close the amnesty at the end of November and I'll pick up a few more in October.

I have been working on my October fics a bit but not making as much progress as I'd like. More kink than Hallowe'en so far.

No poetry at all. I've been stuck on the first lines of two limericks for about two months.

Reading: Lots of reading and listening to audiobooks.

Personal: The boys had a good first day of school. I had SIX AND A HALF HOURS of quiet to myself today. I felt very, very spoiled. I watched a Korean horror movie, re-watched Psycho, I ficced a bit and did laundry. The boys' father rolled in tonight finally, so things will be easier. I haven't been exercising at all or eating vegetables or stretching or taking care of myself at all, but maybe I will start back. I also have my Marie Kondo to do. So much to improve, so little time. :)

Pleased the boys had a good first day at school and delighted you enjoyed your time alone. Also glad the boys' father is home and can take over soccer.

I had SIX AND A HALF HOURS of quiet to myself today. *cheers and waves pom-poms* ^____^ That sounds wonderful - here's to this next stage of your life, with more time to concentrate on yourself ^___^

Yay for a good first day of school, much deserved quiet time, and the boys' father being back to step in with soccer, et al!
