Despite a slow start and some lingering aches, the day went fairly well. Most of my days are spent in that somewhat detached haze, but my treatment starts soon and I hold a tentative hope for improvement. The drive... is a bit of a pain, though there is no changing that.
I am, however, still faced with a broad array of half-baked projects that I continue to kick myself for having put off until the last minute, but what's done is done. Or rather, not done... Regardless, I can't go back in time and force myself to make better decisions, so continuing on is all I'll do, and hope that the products of my rushing aren't too disappointing.
In a similar vein: my fic for All Ships. Quite the learning experience. How did I struggle more with a 2k prompt fill than that 70k monster two months back? A new fandom and a new form... I still don't know if I handled it well. I laughed when my friend excitedly replied "Baby's first general fic!", but it's true. I prefer established and dramatic plots, 20k wordcounts, and, admittedly, a solid E rating as a quiet pervert. I have been out of my element for the better part of 2025, but I count this as a good thing. At the very least, this year has brought out the adventurous part of me. How novel.
