Over the past couple months, I've been writing a story that is a self-insert, but the story-me is a woman. And once I started writing that, slowly but surely, I recognized that... it'd actually not be bad if I were a woman. Like, if I could change between sexes at will, I suppose. So, I thought about it for some time now, and I believe I am non-binary. I can't really present myself as feminine because of my looks - no amount of makeup can change the fact that I am bald, unfortunately -

Update a bit early today because I'm not yet asleep at three in the morning on this Monday. I've written a number of words for Salvation | Rebirth over the previous week, and I do believe I will post it first and will start posting it soon, likely once the next month starts. I don't yet know how many stories I'll post at the same time, but I think it'll be best I post one or two at most so I don't overwhelm myself. I honestly should've written one story at a time from the very beginning,

The last week, I did some writing for Salvation | Rebirth, as well as a bit of planning for other stories. I hope to start posting again before the end of the year, though I'm still uncertain about the exact schedule. I will probably post one or two stories at the same time so as not to overwhelm myself, likely once or twice a week. As I said, I'm undecided, but at least there's some progress.

Progress is slow, but I think I am close to figuring out the ideal schedule of posting new chapters. I'm still trying not to stress out because of all that's going on but, well, that's a bit difficult to do, so that puts a damper on my work. I'm not even sure if I'll be able to post the annual Halloween song, but I'll try to push through the difficulties unless any more of them arise - and, knowing the messed up crap going on, that's probably going to happen.

Despite all the bad stuff happening in the world right now, October comes anyway, and it's the spookiest month of the year. I wish everyone to have some good time if at all possible.

Wrote a couple hundred words over the week before I was unfortunately struck by the trainwreck of bad news. I don't really have anything more to say other than I really hate Russia. So far, I have not received any conscription notice or anything of the sort, but it still puts a damper on my mood. Though, I hope to write more this week unless something worse happens.

In short, things are fucked up. The official documents regarding this don't legally define the partial aspect of it, so that means anyone can be legally conscripted to fight in Ukraine.

I wish I pushed more for studying abroad when I was just out of school, but, well, too late now. I don't know what to do, and the only hope is for massive protests to erupt because of this, but that's not something I expect to happen until conscripts start dying en masse.

The past week has been somewhat productive. Wrote for Salvation | Rebirth, sketched some art, did some story planning for various things. Though, I've also been busy with my bicycle - I need to replace my bottom bracket because I have the cheapest one installed, which is complete crap and has already broken on me twice. Should be done tomorrow, this week, or the next depending on when I can get the new part.

I've been working on other projects not relating to my MLP fanfics, so nothing of note. For anyone interested, I was tweaking my retro PC - for the given definition of retro - which has Core 2 Duo E7200 overclocked to 3.15GHz (will be replaced with a quad-core Xeon later), 4GB 800MHz DDR2 RAM, GTS 250 512MB, and a 128GB SSD, all in a Enermax CS-B031-TBB case. The latter was a lucky find back in summer, it's a pretty rare early 2000s case made of titanium and packed full of features. For anyone

I have done some progress with Vampires, but otherwise the week was unremarkable. It's still difficult for me to just sit down and write for a decent length of time, one thing or the other distracts me. I am also not satisfied with my typing speed even though it's quick. I just wish I could transfer my thoughts into written word instantaneously because the writing process itself doesn't really appeal to me. At least I have a good keyboard for typing, so the experience isn't as bad as it
