May! It's my birth month, to start, and I am a birthday person, for better or worse. It's also when it starts getting properly warm for spring here, and some of my favorite early wildflowers start blooming--if I'm very lucky, I'll even get a few daisies by the end of May! Everything feels a little freer and easier to me in May, after all the chilliness of winter and early spring.

Oh, such an unpopular opinion: least favorite kind. I like my chocolate things quite sweet! (Though chocolate in general isn't my favorite dessert category, with the exception of cheesecake brownies. Like, I don't dislike it by any means! But when offered a variety of options will generally pick other things.) I'm even fond of white chocolate, which I know is a fairly unpopular opinion. But yeah, while I'll eat dark chocolate happily enough if it's around, when picking for myself I generally go for milk or way!

That's a resounding "sometimes" from me! Feel like weirdly I've gotten worse at it recently? Maybe it's that as my prose improves I have less idea of how much space it takes up. But I feel like I at least used to be able to go "this is an idea without many subplots to deal with, where I can probably say what I need to say within 10k" and be right about that. With 10-20k fics even these days I'm within 3k on either side of my initial estimate? It's fics that I initially go "oh, probably 20-30k" where I've been overshooting my estimates recently.
