    Ot No, It's WriteOff Time

    The sun, moon, stars, and hearts of all WriteOffTopia have aligned in a never before seen triple helix shape, finally allowing the Dread Prompt "Ot" to escape its prison beneath the long forgotten dreadwaves. So, if you want a chance to write some silly or serious or

    Happy New Year!

    And more importantly to me because calendar breakpoints are functionally arbitrary: new story going up soon. Soon-ish, it's in queue, however long that takes. Nothing too fancy or too long, just a mildly expanded version of one of my recent WriteOff entries.

    Fin

    I self banned myself from FimFic until I could get around to watching the finale. Of course, I had to watch all of season 9 first, so it took me a while. I had nearly 60 notification to go through and, full disclosure, I kind of skimmed them because...

    My heart hurts. I physically ache.

    WriteOff Shill: Redux: Artlectic Bugaboo

    So, it's about that time again. Figure I'd plug the WriteOff event before it actually got started this time. Seems helpful. Anyway, this is one of our odd rounds, called "pic2fic." Instead of writing a story based on a prompt, we'll be having art submissions based on the chosen prompt and then writing our stories based on one (or more) pieces of the submitted art.

I'm not going! Woo!

Not really woo. I'm actually achingly disappointed in myself for not being able to make it this year* for the final journey and inevitably cry with everyone when this song comes on during closing ceremonies, hopefully performed by Nicole Oliver herself while wearing sparkling ivory and gold regalia. It's a combination of BC being later than usual and work starting earlier than usual, on top of my having spent all my savings on a car. Got a great deal and it's a load off for my family having a vehicle that isn't a junker, so it's... like... worth it, I guess? Loyalty and responsibility or something, I dunno.

I wonder sometimes if I don't tell myself "this is the responsible decision" isn't just my way of codifying my fear of change and general cowardice, but that's a different LSD-fueled introspective blog post.

Anyway. All you folks going—especially my WriteOff crew—be safe and know that I love you. I'll be with you in spirit (and maybe Discord video chat depending on how things go.)

*technically I could have sold my bike and quit my job and made it, but those didn't seem like good long-term choices.
