So...

This is the first time I've posted anything in over a month. Which means I skipped my writing goals post for July and have not yet posted one for August (and do not currently plan to do so). I also skipped both GYWO checkins and have barely noted any writing days during that time -- mostly [community profile] ladybusiness anchor posts and in-progress notes for Monday Media. This is the first time I've straight-up skipped a writing goals posts since I started doing them regularly, over ten years ago now, and I don't have any good thoughts as to why. Work has been busy, but I've been busy with work before; my family is stressing me out, but that's not entirely new; I'm doing genuine talk therapy for the first time in my life, which has dredged up stuff to deal with, so maybe there's something there, but I can't find any sort of direct connection; I started playing Civ again, but that not enough of a distraction all on its own.

Ultimately it feels like a new and worse manifestation of the same problem it's been for years, which is that I feel disconnected from fandom community and don't really know how to get that back. I have connections with individual people, but that's not the same thing.

Thoughts are welcome, but that's not why I'm here. Mostly just wanted to pop in and assure everyone that I'm still around, if not talking much in my own space right now. I do still check in and backread every few days, even when I'm not leaving comments. Hope you all are well. <3

I have been present, just busy, especially as dayjob work has gotten decidedly more busy in the last two months, a state of affairs I expect to continue through the end of the year. Also reading, and I finally finished Star Trek: Voyager, about which I feel like I ought to have more to say (and maybe with more marinating I will), and simultaneously reveling in and trying to avoid news/politics/current events. Finally, I'm in the process of switching up some medications, which is always a fun time but never very interesting to talk about. So I have both too much and not enough to say, which is how I end up not posting for what, a week and a half?

Anyway, as usual when I seem to have fallen off the face of the earth, I promise that I have not. I'm still here, reading and listening and even occasionally commenting. I hope all is well with you, especially anyone on the East Coast and in the path of the storm. Hugs to all.
owlmoose: (quote - i can fix this)
it becomes very difficult to find time for writing. Work all day, go out to dinner, come home and it's about time to start Critical Role. I managed to sneak a little bit in (a few words on Ladies Bingo story about Vex and her little sister, as well as this incredibly meta journal entry), but it was a challenge.

Somehow I managed to write more when I was working full time than I do now that I'm not. A puzzlement.
