Edit: Solved!
The title is vague. But allow me to elaborate - this blog is about a small (major) problem I've run into as of late. The problem is rather one-sided. I have just about no way of writing at the moment. Sure, I can write a blog. I could make a chapter and try to write the entirety of a chapter there without closing it (all in one sitting). But the place that I use to write (Google Docs) has been running a bit of issues with me. (More below the break... lots more)
Now it isn't there that is the problem, no, it is worse. The problem is that I am currently down to just one device. My Chromebook. Nice for on the go, but this thing is old. I got it around the time these things were first released; and it spent two years without a charge hidden away somewhere. As of late whenever I try to use, well, almost anything... it crashes and reboots.
Things that work:
-Discord
-YouTube
-Image Viewer
-Facebook (though that is for personal use only)
-Fimfiction.net (I hope I don't have to say anything here)
That was about all I could remember...
Things that don't work:
-Mp3 Player
-Google Docs
-Having more than six tabs open
That's all I can remember off-hoof.
Things I haven't tested/couldn't remember:
-Fanfiction.net
-Video Player
Fudge... I'm really bad at this...
But anyway, most things aren't working. The battery barely holds a charge, well it doesn't take the charge more of; it will flash on and off, and say it is charging the whole time... but it is finicky. At best it will run for only a short while before it shuts off from not being charged, but as I have to keep it on the charger... things are only going to get worse.
Because of this turn of events I have had quite an ample amount of time to work on planning for things, or look up pictures for inspiration... I have also, which is more of what has been happening, been spending my time playing games. Since I have just about nothing else to do.
Now I do have a solution, but it is going to take some time. How much? I don't know quite yet. I'll be replacing my Chromebook with a new one (I rather like these things). And hopefully getting another system to replace my non-functioning one. Well... I say non-functioning but it runs slower than a snail, and needs to be hooked up to an external screen... which is a hassle.
To make this a little more redeeming (since it is lacking there) I'll just share some news:
-If you have left a request with me, then I'll be starting the next on the list as soon as I'm able to get back to writing
-My next review batch will also be coming out sometime after I can write again; as I leave them on a Doc
-I'll be starting work on a Clop that, surprisingly, won't be from a request - not something I was originally planning on doing... but recent-ish events made me think otherwise
-Finally I'm opening up my Discord server again... if anyone is interested - you can come talk to me about... well... anything (Link here)
Thanks for reading. I hope you have a good day; as for me... I have some Legionnaires to dispatch of.
