struck by the realization yesterday that im bored of my wip. i think i need to inject more whimsy in it. more fantasy. but....hm....worldbuilding will need tweaking. well! before i get tricked into worldbuilding and not writing, i will simply try and write and worry about consistent worldbuilding later! first draft! just needs to exist!!!!!!!!!
online numbers can really fuck you up when it comes to your creative work because you're sharing something you worked on with all your heart but it's very important to remember there's actual people behind those numbers. even if it's 1. that's one whole actual person. that's a human being who said "haha nice". that's a connection with a REAL person with a REAL life and REAL thoughts and feelings and experiences. like. damn. that should mean something
weebly, which i use to host my writing site, is going to slowly lose functionality, as square (who owns it) has withdrawn support from it and apparently fired a bunch of people (i skim read the email about it so apologies for misinformation) ANYWAY
tl:dr; my site may shut down at some point.
which sucks. im fond of it and spent a lot of time making it pretty. tumblr is not super accessible in the same way....although i could definitely just tweak my theme and maybe transfer my domain. idk! i like having an author site! but nothing's properly published (traditionally OR self) so idk how much it matters to have an author site!
wix is not an option, bc they are on the boycott list. other alternatives i've seen are outside my budget, and my budget is currently...free except for the cost of my domain, which i may let go of. i already run 3 other sites (1 for my mom's organization, 1 for my literary society, and 1 for my photography, though the former two are mostly paid by sponsors/donations and the latter i've decided to just work to afford) and idk if i want or should bother paying for another site, especially when the cost of living just keeps creeping up
do you have an author site? do you visit author sites? any thoughts or opinions or commiserations about this?

The poet exists in fragments, so does the poetry.
Shout-out to characters who don't plan to survive their stories! Heroes who think they can only atone for their failures through sacrifice, villains who don't think they deserve to live in the world they're trying to create. Gimme that passive suicidality baby, mm-mm, delicious.

Deep Water Prompt #3540
Walking through the graveyard at night, an angel climbs off its plinth to follow me. "The Chained One is restless," it whispers, as a second jogs up carrying my sword, like I could be out there for any other reason.
Text: Her familiar is a terrifying crane, towering over the heads of all who enter the tea house, its beak stained red with the blood of the unworthy.
(stumbling out of the document covered in blood) ok i wrote 100 words
helloooo it's been a hot minute. here are some updates if you're interested. it's long. i yap. enjoy :P
why've i been gone for...~a month? well, i had back injury stuff (mostly recovered now but still going to chiro), work headaches (UGH), and a sudden surge of events to plan/attend. also, i was grappling with the constant barrage of news about how many evil things are being done to our world (THE FOOD! the AIR! the WEATHER!!!!!).
thus, i've decided that kicking my tiktok habit was not enough, i need to drop IG reels too (which unfortunately replaced tiktok almost immediately). scrolling through it has proved really bad for my anxiety (yay heart palpitations) and fight against despair (there is so much evil and we are not shown enough of the good). also i was getting genuinely scarred by unexpected videos of murder, catastrophes, terrible accidents, etc. so no more of that!
it's a hard addiction to beat and being bored might feel painful but things that hurt are not always bad and also, it will pass. i have to retrain my brain to find joy and interest in things that are not shortform content, and it will take some time, and that is a-ok.
semi-related to this, i'm back into photography! i've forgotten a lot and never took the time to get to know the camera i replaced my old one with (honestly i regret replacing it---but i was depressed and impulsive and went through a phase of purging stuff). i would love to get my photography business up and running again. and if i can...perhaps that can be my main source of income? crazy to say so in a world poisoned by genAI, i know, but whatever.
also! my literary society is trucking along in a delightful direction! and i'm gonna help my mom with running her own podcast! (i've tabled my podcast idea and feel very good about it). writing has....not really been happening. but i've hauled myself back onto the previously on-fire wagon that is writing, and i'm tip-tapping away painfully slowly. it's fine, it is what it is. (<- totally not feeling fine about this at all but what else is new)
anyway! i hope y'all are good!

like the betrayal’s always going to be worse if they cared about you and it didn’t matter. someone discards you because they didn’t give a shit, then you can be angry about that, you can feel vindicated in that, you can get over it. but if they can look you in the eyes and say “I love you. I would make the same choice again.” You will never sleep peacefully again, is all.
“I thought they cared about me, but they were lying this whole time.” <- tired. boring. removes all the nuance of this relationship to make it easier to move on from.
“I thought they cared about me, and I was right, and every minute they were there for me, every time they said they were proud, every laugh we shared leaning against each other bruised and breathless, all of it was real. and they still left me behind. They could put their love aside. I couldn’t.” <- insane. will never leave you alone. reminds you that even the worst people are still people and can still care about even the ones they hurt the most and that undoes neither the harm nor the love.
