    100 000 words written this year so far

    I decided to calculate how much I've managed to write since 1st of January 2023 until today, 17th of April 2023, and apparently I have written more than 100 000 words. That is a decently-sized novel even if it's currently about 2/3rds of only one of my stories, and I'm not done yet. It honestly feels so good to be back into writing after barely doing anything about it for, what was it, two

    Important Announcement

    Long story short, I have decided to unpublish my earlier stories because I'm not comfortable with them. That's the gist of it.

    Life Update

    It's been a while since one of these.

    To those who wish to know, I'm doing as well as I can be considering, well, everything. Overall, stuff still sucks, but I'm managing. I'm still making discoveries about myself - recently I found out I may have some form of ADHD, which honestly explains so damn much.

    Apple is shit, never buy from them

    EDIT: I managed to fix it, so it appears Apple hasn't yet fucked me over completely. However, considering that iPhones did get locked without the ability to activate them for over a year now (here's the link for context), I won't bank on it not happening to even older devices like mine.

    Now, the old content of this blog post:

    Concerning my Harry Potter fanfics

    In short, I will not be continuing them. They are, as of the time I post this blog post, deleted. Why? Because I don't feel comfortable making Harry Potter content anymore.

    Now for the long explanation.

Another Find · 5:09pm Nov 9th, 2021

Around a month ago, I was walking around and looking around dumpsters for free stuff. Sometimes, there's some nice stuff that I can take and use. Because, well, why use money when you don't have to? Besides, some people tend to throw out perfectly good stuff like that one exercise bike I found at the beginning of October. It's mostly just furniture, which I don't really have a use for.

This time, it's an electric kettle. I forgot about it for a bit after finding it, but today I tested it, and it's working perfectly fine. It's better than the family kettle too: it has clear plastic inserts in the sides that allow me to see how much water is left inside, and the spout doesn't spill water at all. The only downside is that there are no measuring marks for the water, but that's not that bad. Overall, it's a very nice find.

Easy to add measuring marks get a measuring cup and add a measured amount of water then use a permanent marker and draw a line at water level mark amount of water and continue till full.

I thought about it, but I never really measure water all that precisely unless I pour cold water. I'll leave it as is, it looks nice.

Nice! I feel like I already told you about the free stuff app Freebie Alerts but it isn't available in Russia or something.

Dumpster searching is a viable strategy, it seems.
